Think about it folks! A lot of people want a 'cheap performance car' or a 'cheap car that drives well' etc..... well, in Malaysia the two just dont go together UNFORTUNATELY.....  Car prices are a bit screwed up if you know what I mean..... most 320s on sale here would probbaly only sell for a couple thousand pounds (good ones) or just a couple of hundred pounds (bad ones) in the UK (now thats a market that prices cars according to their proper value)..... in Malaysia this just not happen... So when buying E30s you have to factor in things like supply and demand, the perceived value or amount of money the seller has already put in and the fact that the seller may himself be upgrading (probably because he realises that E36s are a much better long term proposition <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> ) so he'll whack as high a price as he can..... My 2 cents to prospective buyers .... know what you are up against and know what it is you are looking for.</blockquote>
