reasonable offers will be considered

Realistically your brother won't get more than $7,500 for that car in this market...he'll be lucky to get that.

Not shitting on your thread, just trying to give you a realistic perspective....

ouch.... my first thought was: keep dreaming... but you didn't even let him... :)
8-9k is realistic price for such swap + 5 lugs.

[for3ver]

Ya believe me I know but he wanted me to list it for. I guess I'll tell him to throw a for sale sign on it and drive around and hope some young rich kid buys it.

I've been trolling this forum for over a year, and have wanted a e30 for the past 9 years. I'm currently deployed but I'll be home early fall/late summer. I used to live in Melrose, MA so I'm pretty familiar with Marblehead. If your brother still has the car I will definitely make a cash offer. Any rust issues?
Also I live in GA but take leave/weekend trips to the Boston area, so coming to see the car wouldn't be an issue.

[massih]

Nice whip. If it's still for sale come late august, I'll be PMing you.

[Danny]

You'll get more than 7500 for that car. I wouldn't be surprised if he gets his asking price.

[quillbro]

7500 doesnt seem bad... maybe even a tad more... 12k... not a chance. Not trying to insult by any means... Just being realistic.

[Danny]

Just because you won't pay it doesn't mean someone else won't.

[quillbro]

Just because you won't pay it doesn't mean someone else won't.

You are right beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

[kwblah]
