Looks nice, out of my bottom feeding price range but good luck. Do you have some better pics of the rockers?

72 pictures HERE, you should find what you are looking for.
If you click on the pictures you can open them to full screen size which will then show a large picture at pretty high-res. Click on them again and they will get very detailed.

I'm watching it as I'm curious to see what you get for it since I'll likely be selling my '88 in a month or so. Good luck!

oh man, and youre in ohio too?

An E30 coupe with a 5 speed and upgraded shifter...few other mods, and very straight and clean body.

Pretty much near the top of my bucket cars list.

I may have a conversation with the boss tonight.

I have this '90 Miata as barely seen in the background of this photo.

This one. Same one I have owned for 20 years.

I keep getting "cash now" offers but they all seem low.
The level of traffic from ebay has been good and watchers are high. As typical with ebay, i figure all the real bidding will happen in the last few minutes (or minute.)
I have 71 watchers currently. Sure, I know many of those are just people wondering how much their own e30 may be worth but based on questions, calls and visitors to see the car in person, there must be some real shoppers there.
What are some opinions from "those in the know" on how much I should hold out for?

My buddy says $2500, but I keep hearing "you gotta spend $4K to get a decent E30 these days" on this very forum so I'm left shrugging my shoulders. Maybe shoot for $3-3.5K and negotiate from there?

I am at $2325 with 1.5 hrs to go. I would be happy to break $3k.
The other auction raised 45% in that time period. Will it take 45% here or $3371 ?
