WTB 5 speed 318ti, am open to all offers

[KASZ]

Hey,

I'm new to the forum, but thought this would be the best place to look. For the past few years I've been looking to buy an e30 and just got to test drive one last week. It was a well cared for model, had some major rust but overall mechanically it was sound. After riding around I realized the size and steering feel and overall simplicity was nice but for the price I believe it was way too high ($5,500). Knowing that the prices of these things wont drop I had to look elsewhere but wanted to stay true to BMW. About 6-8 years ago I was looking at 318ti's, but back then they were still quite expensive and the e30 was cheap, oh how the tables have turned . I am looking preferably for a 5 speed Manual, but if the exterior is clean and the interior is black then a automatic would be fine. Black exterior is preferred but would go for red or any other dark color. I hope to find one in the Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Indiana area as I live in Chicago. Hope you guys can help out !
