WTB Running Resto

[Sacto2002]

Price: $13500

Location: Sacramento, CA

Description:

Hello 2002ers!  
 

I’m looking for a running (or nearly so) pre-1976 2002 for around $12,000. Cash in hand and ready to buy!  
 

I’ve loved these cars for years, and am finally ready to start my new life of obsessively tracking tiny parts from across the globe as I restore one myself.  Some rust is Ok, as I plan a rolling restoration until I can afford full bodywork and paint.  It’s got to be in nice (enough) condition that I can feel safe (enough) driving my daughter to school in the meantime. 

 

I’m in California and I’d rather not worry about smog, so no 1976 cars. 
 

Willing to travel to western US to pick up and drive home, or will pay to transport (so long as it comes in under budget).  
 

Thank you for any leads!  I’m excited to finally join the group.

Take a look at the 74 two ads below yours. Paul W. has put a lot into it and asking about the same money you are looking at. 

 

I would buy a car sight unseen from Paul. No contest. Read the ad. 

 

I am sure others will chime in supporting my way out there claim.

Big thanks to everyone who has responded here or reached out privately. It’s been a crash-course, and the 2002 community is great!  
 

Still looking for a driver-quality 2002 for around $12-15k.
 

I’ve found lots of cars around the $20k price point, but alas, I only have so much money.  Paul’s car looks great, but it would cost $2k to ship, which blows the budget.
 

I may end up in an e21 instead, and can “upgrade” to a 2002 later. I’m holding out hope that I’ll find just the right car, but my wife is getting tired of driving me to work!

I’d sell the kumquat for $12k. It’s not perfect by any stretch but it’s a great driver. PM me if your interested. Hell, for a fee, I’ll drive it out to you while doing a video montage. It’s a fun little car. 
 

here’s a link to the car

@NLPed shoot me a message. I can’t send you one. Too new of a member I guess. I’m interested in your 2002. Thanks. 

[Sacto2002]

Well, now I’ve had two very nice 2002 owners offer to sell me their cars, then rescind the offer once they drove their cars and remembered why they bought it in the first place. 
 

So … I’m **still** on the hunt for a driver-quality 2002.  Cash in hand and ready to buy.
 

More than ready, you might say… I feel like an adoptive parent who can’t find a baby. The nursery’s ready! 

[E21kc]

@sacto2002 I wouldn’t cross off a nice e21 320is off the list. Right now they are a better value than a 2002 and leas prone to rust. Could be a nice way to get a “kinda” 2002 and still be on the hunt for the 2002.
