Just not feeling it. Not really interested in trades unless its a caddy + cash.

200k miles or so. Leaks about a quart of oil ever 1200 miles. Other than that I dont know much about it. Runs great. drives great and everything works but the AC, which just quit working the other day.

4000$

you can see the body issue on the door here:

pretty clean otherwise.

also have a set of ground control coils to go w/ it...

I can answer any questions you'd like about the car, and will offer test drives to any serious buyer. I will accept deposits of no less than 250$, and I will keep your deposit if I dont have the rest of the money in 5 days. Ran into too many issues with flaky buyers.

Do you have the title for this yet? Can you sell a car without one?

Ok i may know of a caddy . If i cant find the money then i can pass it on to you?

glad I can facilitate the changing of money. I guess now I know I'm a mk1 guy through and through. I gave it a fair shake though...

If someone buys me a farm or cabin or something with some space, I will buy this car.

Suppose you wouldn't be interested in a '91 mk2 VR6 ;).

Ironically I am very interested to learn more about them. Definitely planning on road racing one with Midwest Council/SCCA.

decent looking car, how are the clutch, tranny and rear tires? :poke:

Digital K

08-17-2010, 02:10 AM

tires are average, the rest is just fine. I havent abused the car. any burnouts I have done (maybe 3?) are while moving, w/ the tach hovering around 4500-5000rpms for not very long... clutch is not engaged and disengaged during this process. the gas pedal is feathered, not the clutch. And no shifting is really going on during this time either. Ive never "dropped the clutch hard" or "launched" the car.

Half of why I do it is to watch the needle go off the end of the tach.

there's a caddy (on craigslist) in s mpls that needs a transmission. (for about $750 IIRC.) i called the dude but my friend ended up buying your old ABA 4 Door, so i never saw it in the metal.

You must have some odd sounding sex then... my car sounds like a pissed off tractor at 7k rpm.

Wow already Kris? Don't turn into Chris from CB. After keeping his Saab for many years he has gone through 3 cars in a space of less than a year already. :biggrin:

I know what you mean about a car just not "feeling" right. Hence my continued love of Saabs. That and I don't want to turn into Topher when I sell mine. I do secretly fear it... :eek:

I saw this car in person too. It is in fantastic shape! Good luck w/ the sale!

I have a glovebox for sale. Search "325ix" and you will see my bmw parts FS thread.

it cost too much iirc

I suppose you hate your E30 so much you wouldn't want to borrow my Miller WAR Chipped ECU and tuning laptop for a little while....

i dont hate it. I just am not interested in it.

Oh yeah, that was you.
Well, future buyer, if you're reading out there (from the future or wherever), look me up and let's talk Econ 101 sometime over a garage beer.

JTapper

I'd be interested to discuss this sometime. I fell in love looking at them when I was young. The first time I sat in one was the day I bought my Vert.

Who knows...Maybe I'd be the same way about a MK1 if I got one.

Digital K

08-18-2010, 10:30 PM

my first car was a mk1.... I think its just in my blood.

I think you can sell 16 or 17 vehicles per year before you need a dealer license.

I think you can sell 16 or 17 vehicles per year before you need a dealer license.

Minn. Stat. 168.27 says that it's only five.

Good luck with the sale. I keep looking at this ad but I need to save my money. :(
