** Acme [Akagi] bought a pink estate car - E30 325i project log! **

I know of a silver 02 plate EP2 going for £2.5k. Brand new brakes, suspension, calipers, drop links, clutch and exhaust. It's in Nelson, Lancashire though. Being sold by an MX5 specialist (CBS Autos). It's very clean and tidy especially underneath. Main downside is it's done 130k.
 
Its not a CTR. I'm not sure if you will be surprised, or completely unsurprised to be honest :p

I'm viewing it because it ticks the boxes and is local and is a good price, might not end up buying it. :)

Please stop buying cars that are 'a good price'. It's half your issue with cars.

Buy a good car not a car for a good price.

Please heed this with used cars Acme - yes the price needs to be acceptable, but you need to make it secondary to vetting the car very carefully first.
 
OK OK I'm not looking at it because it is a good price, it was just a passing observation this time! :p

There are only two within 80~ miles of me, one is a 5 owner car on 93,000 miles, the other is a 1 owner car on 96,000 miles. Both are on my radar. The 1 owner car is with a dealer who is asking a ridiculous amount of money for it, but I am still interested if I can knock him down a bit. It is one of the most expensive ones for sale in the whole country, if not the most expensive. The 5 owner car is from a private seller and it is a good price. Not the cheapest by any means, but a good price. :)
 
Damn, how did you guess!

I'll give you a hint, I don't need any further pre-purchase advice or knowledge. :p
 
Tom what car is it so others can give you opinions on it? I'm all for surprises but it's when you give us a surprise the purchase ends up biting you on the backside.

Show us so we can help.
