Thanks for the replies guys. Highly appreciated. I let the offer pass. Since this is my first E30 I decided to buy something that I can test drive and judge.

M42 Buyer's Guide / Questions regarding my 1991 BMW 318IS

Hi all,
First of all let me tell you that this is a great forum. Lots and lots of information available to old, new and wanna-be buyers.

I'm planning to buy a 1991 BMW 318IS. The present owner says he got the motor redone 5 years ago. Also the clutch is brand new. He confirms that the car runs great and he uses on a daily basis. The only issues he mentioned is a missing muffler and a couple of rust spots. I've asked him to shed more details regarding the state of Transmission and Suspension.

He is quoting a price of $2000.

I wanted your valuable opinion and comments on this. How does the car seem ? Is it worth the buy ? Should I get more information about anything in particular ? Any information is highly appreciated

P.S. : This is an online transaction and hence I can not get to drive the car to report as to how it feels.
