Need your advice on these Kijiji finds

Hey,

Can you please help me out with your feedback on the following:

http://toronto.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehi...AdIdZ101993331

http://toronto.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehi...QAdIdZ83697085

Are the prices fair? Would you buy any of 'em?

I'm really a noob when it comes to E30's

Thanks,
Joe

I used to own one of those and it was nothing but trouble. I recently switched to what they call fine japan engineering and this car is awesome. My automatic super-toyota(lexus) is awesome. I would smoke your car any time. I beat vans off the line like its going out of style just like the ride your are looking to purchase.

If it was up to me there only 1 clear winner when you are buying a car to cruise around in the winter and that's an all wheel drive lexus like i drive to work in.

My Lexus handles the snow really well when i drive it to work. Make the right choice go lexus.

You down with that?

I've seen the silver one on the road. Looked pretty clean, it also has way more money put into it. Check out both of them and pick the one with the better body. I would be leaning more towards the silver one.

they both look to be tooken care of well.. and they have both been on kijiji since before the snow.. so they might be able to flex on price.. pretty much the only nice ones on the market right now..

^ Well I don't know if I would get it for that price but I'd like to see if it's negotiable.

I went to look at the white one over a month ago. Piece of Shit. It's got some weird nasty hole developing in the middle of the trunk panel. He'll tell you that he's put $10K into it, but it's nothing special. It's missing the driver's side "b" pillar trim, water on the floor. Shitty aftermarket speakers "From a E36" or some shit on the rear dash. Not worth $4000. Don't even bother looking at it.

Silver one, I don't know.

No problem. It's probably only woth $1500, if that. Also has the usual rust on the front quarterpanels, and they have been replaced before. It's missing a screw or two on the front drivers quarter panel. Antenna works, but it's bent all to shit (apparently from high speeds... yeah?).

Actually its a good price for a mint e30. I would definitely consider it the silver one. You get what you pay for.

I think the owner of the silver car's user handle is something like GEEEE$$ or something.
