Read title. Inside my head a voice screamed “NOOOOO” I love Mk1 and Mk2 Jettas but this is a 3k car MAX. Plus the non turbo diesel’s suck balls. If it had the 16v engine out of an MK2 GLI or GTI it would be much more appealing.

As a father of 2 year old twins, this looks pretty awesome. I actually am pretty interested in the plug in hybrid version too. Currently I drive a C-max energi and being able to charge at home and work allows me to stretch a tank of gas 1500+ miles. This has got an even bigger range so even better. Note: I fully…
That’s cool Man. Germany’s market is far different than the US. Check out this basic search I did in LA for BMW’s under 6k. Notice something... ah yes, E30’s E30’s everywhere! I will admit this list includes some 5 series and earlier models but there are plenty to be had.
I guess it depends on where you live. Up here in VT, you’re right, anything that’s decent is going to command a premium. In Cali or Arizona where rust doesn’t exist, you’ll have much better luck.
As others have said. This car comes pre fucked up. Not worth the time / money to get it to where it’s presentable when you could find your own E30 and do what you want with it within a 6k budget. I like the color though!
Killed my Saab 9000 Turbo back in highschool. Friend of mine got a novelty detective blue light (Like you see in the old cop shows where they throw it on the roof) and we decided it would be great to pull people over with it while trolling the back roads of Vermont in the middle of the night. We would hide in a dark…
Even though I generally say avoid someone else’s project, something about this calls to me. It’s just so badass. Drop it to 7k as others have mentioned and it’s a NP
$2900 for a reliable mid engine fun mobile in good condition. I’m in.
I impulsively clicked NP. Now I regret my decision. It’s amazing, oh so amazing. But the PRICE IS TOO DAMN HIGH!
Good to know. Still wouldn’t buy one!
I am thinking you are right.
This is one case where I would say you buy it and drive it twice a year to keep everything somewhat fresh. Otherwise keep it in your garage until values go up and sell. Though I’m not sure if these will actually appreciate. They were serious pieces of shit.
I really like this car but 22k is too damn high! I’m guessing he dropped a solid 1ok into this but he is definitely not going to make that money back. Good luck getting an insurance company to pay 22k for this car if you wreck it too. Sadtrombone.com
Honestly not a fan. Prefer the Miata to this. I especially don’t like the front end. Yuck.
No brainer NP. Stealth, Rare, and AMG. I’m not even mad about the Auto. I’d buy this as a speedy commuter. Damn I wish I was in LA
Cool to see a survivor like this. As a kid growing up in Vermont, everyone had a Subaru GL.... EVERYONE. They literally all disintegrated into dust unfortunately and it looks like this one is on it’s way. For $1000 I’d give it a NP but at this price.... NAAAAHHH
Here’s a thought. Rename the goddamn TLX the Legend and have Luda rock it. Boom done.. brand revival right there. Fuck these alphanumeric vehicle names. The only brands that should have them are the Germans. Cars need names. Legend is one of the best.
NP! Things that make me go hhhnnnnnnnnnggggggg!!! Though in all seriousness, this takes the crap reliability out of your BMW experience and replaces it with dead simple American Power! That Dyno vid is nuts and I would drive the piss out of this car. Only thing I would do differently is remove the “560i” badging.
I really wanted to vote NP on this lil guy but with all the unfinished work plus the rust it’s way too overpriced. Maybe at $3500.
These are the G-Wagon’s to get. Honest an simple with none of the bullshit that the “Officially Imported” ones have. A bit too high for my taste but I’d still rock it if I had the cash
