Ive popped into the old E30 forum a few times but never said hello. Ive got a GSI Astra at the mo but thats going in a month as its time I went RWD! Ive been on the lookout for a nice 325 Sport but unfortunately its the worst time of the year and I havent seen any good ones yet.
Some very nice examples of them on here as well as the other models!

Here's a few pics of the Astra although its probably not your taste.

welcome to the zone ;)

You just have to keep your eyes open - nice sports and those which don't need too much money throwing at them are still about!

Like the astra too, not overdone :thumb:

Hold out for a decent cared for example, mileage is less important than condition I think!

Astra is smart, Red-Top engine is awesome!

A silver/grey one with Leather and Alpinas...?

Hmm... I wonder where you'd find one of those... 8)

Nice Astra BTW. Tastefully modd'd which is nice.

It's probably the BEST time of year to buy one as selling is slow ATM, and owners are anxious to get rid... just bide your time and one will appear. The one that everyone's already mentioned looks like a really nice one... just no leather or Alpinas... but you can always add them later. Condition is more important!

Yeah to be honest Im more worried about getting a good engine that can handle the abuse as well as the GSI engine and also getting a diff that works. I'll have to check out ebay for that one although I cant really buy one until I sell the Astra.
