hey mate bad luck,

this has just happened to my mate, he paid Ԛ£650 on ebay for what he though was a decent car but turned out to be a heap. i paid Ԛ£200 to him and its now my problem. although he was stopped driving home by the police as a tail light was out and it had a bald tyre.

previously i bought a 323i e30 on ebay, went the 300 miles to collect it and the car wasnt there. it had been lifted by dvla because it wasnt taxed ! (the add stated that it was).

just shows people are only on ebay to make a quick Ԛ£Ã”šÃ‚£Ãƒ”šÃ‚£ and dont care about honesty or cars for that matter.

im fed up viewing cars that have had work "bodged" and the seller thinking its mint.

Ebay is full of d**ks!!

dude thats crap

so sorry to hear that you got fukked about,

the pics made the car look smart-obviously they were well touched up

as for anyone else considering bidding on ebay-i'd advise you to get the seller to take close up pics of the common rust spots, if they wont, walk away

isnt it just dude!!!! i asked him if i could have closer shots of the car and his reply was that the car was around his mothers house 15miles away and he didnt know when he would have time to do it, i knew id get fcuked about dude, im soooo gutted but glad in another way, it would have been a big step down from the sport to a 1.8 4 pot, ill just have to keep my eyes peeled for a 2.5 touring now, im gonna look at a 4dr saloon today but dont know what to do about it, really want a touring but i think its gonna be hard to find one with the m-tec kit etc.....

TBH mat eht etech2 kit can hide a host of horrors.

if I were you, i'd get a decent low mileage touring without a kit and spend some moolah making it mint, then put on the tech 2 kit-that way you know that its solid.

Ԛ£1500 should see you with a solid 325i touring, mot/tax and leather.
Ԛ£250 for the LSD (kids like sideways )
Ԛ£700 for the tech 2 kit and spraying

one happy owner

[TW166Y]

Probably would be for the best dude, nice one dbuddy maybe see you soon at one of these meets in my funky touring........... when i can get one

[zaust]

[TW166Y]

its hertfordshire too dude......... dont fancy another long journey...... send me some piccy dude, ill pm you in a min, red really does put me off though mate i gotta say..... does it have leather zaust?

[zaust]

[TW166Y]

i need leather

[zaust]

that can always be added !!! but at least have a good motor to put it in..

[Brianmoooore]

I always buy my cars a half at a time.- A nice tidy unmolested immaculate touring, and then a rough high spec 325 with as many whistles and bells as possible - then merge.

[zaust]

same here it,s the only way to get what you want..

[TW166Y]

so very true....its still red

[zaust]

you cant see the red when your driving it,

[6potWil6pot]

My old car being Red wound me up, but if i got another E30 id be tempted to do it Black myself with a Can.
Shame the timings wrong Marc or id be over there looking at the Touring

[zaust]

also got to rember my car was red before i reshelled it,

[320Touring]

who cares what colour it is? Twiggy-u gotta be sensible here

the e30 aint a new car-you cant order one with your exact spec.

trick is to find a solid shelled one and spec it up from there.like I said before, be realistic

Ԛ£3k would get you a mint touring

Ԛ£1200+ for the car
Ԛ£250 for LSD
Ԛ£300-500 for leather
Ԛ£1100 for tech 2 kit

and voila-gotta work at it. my 320 touring is a bit away from where i want it, but it is SOLID

[zaust]

+ 600 for a respray if you want..

fair comment-but its red

[dazleeds]

buy it do all the mods above and get it sprayed calypso red or delphin or malacite all very touring colours

[TW166Y]

thing is here fella's its gonna be my day car too, at the end of the day i need my car on the road rather than off the road doing all the mods etc.... i would love to buy an e30 garage it and mod it but i just dont have the time or the money to play with at this moment in time.. really gotta be what i want so i can atleast drive it. red cars just bring me bad luck, must admit ive never had a red e30 but i still dont like the colour 1 bit. i want a decent touring silver is a must but i know its gonna be hard but i can hold out... black would be my second choice but i can also do with it having all of the gadgets inside too.

[georgen]

It's a real pity that the Touring was a bad as that. Not what you wanted at all. Next time, would it mabye be an idea to get a fellow zoner to have a look at your next potential buy (if it's too far away) before wasting time, nerves and money ? This is what I did with my current Touring. Aauser went ( very kindly ) to have a look at her and it turns out the car was cracker, so I spent 2 days travelling and a good Ԛ£200 in travelling costs picking her up. Could you imagine if she'd been a nail and had gotten nobody to check it out for me !! I would have been well p1ssed off.....and skint.

I know this wont help on this occasion, but the great thing about this site is that we all share a common love for all things E30, and I don't think that anyone on the zone would like to see a fellow zoner struggling. Anyway, best of luck next time !!

Cheers
