What E30 car will £500 notes get me

A 1990 325i SE

Not mine mate.
Should get you a nice 316 / 318 4 door, or if you're lucky, a reasonable 2 door.
Depends really where you're looking. Autotrader not a lot, Ebay probably a good bargain

Also depend how far your willing to travel, some of the best e30s tend to be miles from me!

Most of the nice ones that I want are out of my price range - s0d the distance...

been busy on the scratch cards have we?

you really are asking a silly question. why dont you just look in the local rag or on ebay for cars in your price range. get off your arse and have a look at them.

most will be turds, but some maybe nice examples hanging onto there mot etc. theres many variables.

i bought a 325ise 4 door for £300 a year ago, it had all the toys aircon,heated seats etc!

recently bought a 325i touring T&T for 6 months £350

so i look carefully half decent E30's are out there for £500 but don't expect any minters!

TW*T......lol, only kidding.

Buy it off you for 300?, a years depreciation and all.....lol

Good result mate, looks like a cracking motor

sadley no more

its in bits on my garden

just proves that bargins are out there

they wont be mint

so far ive been lucky

picked up a 2 door 316i 105k pretty mint with full service history most of which was main dealer for £400, well chuffed. just wish it was a 6 pot though!!

paid 80 quid for mine in the "did this used to be someones car" post.

my mate just bought a 316i touring on a jplate for £300 car is mint body wise needs a wheel bearing and front brakes mot to feb no tax hes planning on running it over xmas then putting a fresh mot on it and selling it and being honest all i can see it needing is the above plus the handbrake adjusted and it is a really tidy example

325 with lots of morsels £500, well actually £250 and gave my mate a 4 year old Sony Viao laptop

I bought my Touring for £500 a year ago. Body work was excellent with no rust and straight as you like panels.

Needed a head and suspension though.

You'll either get a car with bodywork issues or engine issues at that price.

You might find a bargin as its bad time of year to sell. If someones desparate to sell and had little interest they may let a car go for less thean they hoped for.

i got a 318i for sale @ 250 quid

i got my 325ise with beige leather 4 door 130k for 140 quid

I got my previous IS for 400 notes!

i got my 89 318i for £225 of ebay i had to travel 55 miles each way for it and to be honest its the best money i ever spent and my best car so far and i have payed upto £3000 for some of my cars http://www.uk-cruzin.co.uk/forum/attach ... mentid=401
