24 days ownership is bizarrely brief.
But time enough to get it home, utter the immortal phrase 'what the f
k is tha... oh fk... this thing is fked...' before putting it back up for sale.Either way, tread warily. Many is the highly priced E30 my partner & I have looked at in the last twelve months that's held together almost entirely by rust, whereas a few of the cheaper ones can be almost rot free by comparison.
Actually, how much are you planning to spend on an E30 Woody? Do you want just a bare bone car that will do for a project, or do you actually want a good one?
I know of at least one going begging, not cheap compared to some, but as far from a pile of crap (without being a pristine and priced to match 325i Sport/M3 etc) as it's possible to get with them IMO.

Re: This particular car, from ebay feedback it looks like he's a part-time trader so that info doesn't surprise me. If it's as described then it should be a decent car, hopefully.
Looking for something around a grand which is most importantly solid and preferably with an M42 16v engine

That 456M was doing alright until I got the Steve Wonderesque interior. 
stting hell, has that carpet been mown?
I’d go so far as saying of pretty much every car built over the last twenty years or so, nothing exudes quite the same level of ‘correctness’ as the 456?

As discussed with Bolt’ earlier, she was driven straight down to the local BMW dealer which may seem slightly odd but be assured these boys are very good and a couple of their technicians worked on them twenty five years ago.
Truly she is better than I could ever have hoped for and with a little bit of expenditure will be absolutely A1+.
Importantly no rust, the headlining is A1, everything works, all the glass is original, all the servicing is indeed BMW, the paint is almost perfect throughout, original unused tools, shrink wrapped first aid box still in the rear armrest, mechanically tight as a drum and virtually unused inside.
Oh yes, the wireless is a Blaupunkt Montreal and it’s most tasty and would look a treat in the Deauville.
The one real killer are its booties, of course they are metric and the cost of TRX’s is on the upside of lethal, it will cost as much as full set of Cups for the CSL.
The dealer principle who I've known for donkies years - he even sold the old man his 3.0 Si thirty five years ago – has offered me a very reasonable profit on the car already but I’m not for selling her anytime soon.
