I initially bought it to use as upgrades to my 2002, but the car turned out too nice to part out, so I began fixing it up.

I don't know the full history of the car, but here’s all the bad I know.

- Odometer is stopped at 145997, per the previous owner that happened about 2 years ago, (autocheck i got when purchased seems to reflect this) she was a college student and didn't drive it much outside of JMU to home in DC, we would guess it's coming up on 155-157k?
- The dash has cracks.
- The lcd screen for the OBC is not working.
- The radio is aftermarket and currently doesn't have power. (i haven't tried to fix that, I’d put a stock unit back in if i were going to keep it)
- The front valance is dented back a bit, it looks like the PO had bumped it into one of those parking space barricades, it's pushed in and the lower spoiler was missing when i got it. I haven't tried to pull/straighten it out yet. I did buy a new lower spoiler to go on.
- Rear bumper has a chip missing in the corner by the driver side wheel, see photos.
- Mirror housings need to be repainted
- The battery is pretty shot, should be replaced. (lasted me about a week of sitting in the garage after a charge)
- AC button doesn't stay lit when pushed in, cold air does not come out.


The good
- The car was sold new in Philly, then went down to DC, so not really exposed to harsh salt.
- The car has a current VA inspection from July 2014. The passenger side control arm was replaced as part of the inspection.
- T-stat/water pump and radiator new within the last year. Car did get hot quickly when i bought it, didn't seem like coolant was flowing, so replaced the t-stat, few system flushes and bleeds and all seems well. (aka heater started working again also)
- Found/fixed various vacuum leaks.
- Oil was changed on 10/8/14.
- Interior is in very good condition, driver seat has two cracks in the bolsters, but not full rips.
- Tires are just some all seasons, but tons of tread. I'll get depth and mfg date later.


It's not perfect, but I think it's pretty solid starting place as a project or just to enjoy as is. I'm not real experienced in the e30 platform/common problems, so please let me know if you have any questions or want info/pics of a specific area.
