What needs attention?

Although the car runs like a champ, and is very fun to drive, I will recommend a tune up in the spring. The heat works but the blower doesn’t. The car had A/C at one point (Behr), but when the water pump and the alternator were replaced, the compressor was removed. One more thing, this past season, the odometer stopped working so the miles are stock at the current mileage.

The body is starting to show a little paint bubbling; below the driver and passenger doors, and in the spare wheel compartment. Otherwise, the rest of the body is solid, including rear shock towers.

Why I’m selling?

Under my ownership, I have invested over $2,500 to make this little car more fun. I’m selling it because I need a daily driver; I want to sell it so I can get an E30 318IS or 325IX (trades are welcome). For a Sunday driver, this car is perfect. I have NJ Historic plates, which I only have to renew every 2 years, and my insurance full coverage is less than $200 a year.

I’m asking $ 6,500; all documentation, repair manual, and car cover will be included.
