Going for a drive!

Post Wed Jul 06, 2005 12:15 pm

Im off to WLN Automotive on Saturday to have a drive of a few E30's. If you didn't see my post last week - Im 99% sure Im gonna sell my 1.8T New Beetle and get a 325 cab.

Talked to the guy at WLN yesterday and he seems real cool, sounds like he knows his stuff? Anyone here had dealings with WLN?

After reading all the posts on here about the Motorsport Ed 325 cab, thats the one I want - but do you reckon Im gonna struggle to find a perfect example, with low[ish] miles, like soon? I think I'd be well happy with a regular 325? WLN got a sweet 318 cab I think they just sold; 36,000 miles, no rust etc which would be perfect [if it wasn't for the 318 bit]!

Wish me luck guys!!

Good luck with the search, I know good Motorsport cabs are hard to find - I'd consider Jit's if you haven't already as it's very nearly the equivalent

WLN's prices are on the high side aint they?

How much is that 318 cab up for?

Post Wed Jul 06, 2005 4:43 pm

why pay the premium for a motorsport?

Just find a nice unabused 325 Cab that has all the right bells & whistles with some history to back it up.

But Zayyan, the chicks love my Beetle! Plus I love the fact I can burn any Saxo, Nova and a stack of Beemers [the company car type of course] in my 225bhp girl's car! Mine a manly dark grey too....though
I so need a car that can actual handle right.

Yeah I saw Jit's cab. Very nice, though maybe the miles a little high. I'll need it as a daily driver - about 12,000 miles a year. Or are 100k mile E30 no problem?

That 318 is up for Ãƒ”šÃ‚£6650 Bryang, but the quality looks sweet as hell. Wouldn't it be so hard to find E30's with so low miles and almost perfect condition like that?

E30BeemerLad - yeah man, I'll be well pleased with a non-motorsport 325 cab, and there's loads more out there too?

100k is nothing for most cars these days, blimey even a ford can do 200k !!!

12k a year isn't a lot, so even if you did buy a car with 100k it will probably serve you for the next 10 years with out any major work...

P.S Jit's car is beautiful

Jits car is the baragin of the century mate!

Mileage??.......Whats that? No one cares about mileage and Jits car is considered to be a low mileage car.

Your going to pay a seriously big premium for having under 80,000 miles.

Do yourself a favour and find a car thats been highly maintained and in MINT condition.

Jit has bascially what is a motorsport cab without the logbook saying so. Oh, and its manual which is even better!
