FS 88 325is 4000 CA

[Eliminator]

It's an '88 325is automatic. 244k miles. Bronzit with CLEAN black leather interior, no cracks on dash. Runs fantastic and needs nothing. In the past 15k miles, I've had the following replaced: Timing belt, water pump, acc. belts, ALL radiator and heater hoses. Motor mounts, trans mounts, flex disc, O2 sensor, M3 springs, koni shocks and struts, new strut mounts, front control arms and bushings, rear subframe bushings, Ansa cat-back, Alpine deck with XM tuner and ipod adaptor, CDT component speakers, all 4 brake rotors and Hawk pads, all 6 brake hoses, parking brake shoes, radiator, 1 oil cooler line. Has a matching set of BFG tires on the stock basket weaves. Tires should have another 15-20k miles left in them.

Car has Euro smiley headlights, euro grilles, and euro bumper trim, and the US rear plate filler. M3 roof mounted antenna.

EVERYTHING works, power windows, central locking, trip computer. AC blows COLD.

There are a couple of minor dents in the right front fender, and the paint on the hood is faded/worn. Due to a minor accident about a year ago, the back half of the car was re-painted. I had them do the roof also, even though there was no damage there. Car has a clean title and could be driven anywhere!

I regret to sell, but I have far too many cars and projects. Some of them just need to go.

I'm assuming the price is $4000...it doesn't seem to be listed anywhere in the post. If so, good luck selling a 250k mi bronzit with faded paint, dents and an auto. Regular maintenance does not enhance the price of your car.

This is no thread trash btw, just wanted to help you be realistic in your asking price for a quicker sale! Good luck with everything.

yeah, right it's not a thread bash. Who says I need a quick sale? You are free to buy a $1500 beater and spend thousands on upgrades and repairs if you'd like. If an actual buyer wants a turn-key car than can go coast-to-coast tomorrow they are welcome to make an offer.

I could slap a maaco paint job on it and it would be exactly like this one, that sold for 4500:

Say guys, no need to call the OP's out on their prices. Remember, the price of a item will reflect on how many people will show interest in that said item. If it's high, no one will respond to the ad. And if it's right or low, people will knock the door down to get the item. So let's leave all of the negativity out of the For Sale threads.

And if you do have a question about the price or item, just ask if it is the correct price so the OP can respond to your question. Or just PM the person.

Thank You.......

not being negative just an opinion, i havent driven it or seen it in person, maybe seller has a gem....
-but remember its pretty rare for someone to sell a car w/ mods expecting to gain or even break even from what he/she spent on it....but its pretty much supply and demand at this point and the e30s market from my POV is an enthusiasts market...

Actually, if nobody shows interest I won't be too heartbroken. I have three vehicles for sale right now and two need to go for sure. The E30 is my favorite and most reliable of the three, so if I'm "stuck" with it that's OK. ;) I've had bites on the other two already so all is good. Personally, I think 4k is a fair asking price because it's tough to find a reliable used car with service history for less than that. YMMV.

Make offer!

Who wants it, and what's it worth to you? Make an offer! Moving, must sell.

Are you the guy who used to come into Napa when I worked there, and Ive seen a couple times at Coast?

I bid $1 Bob.

j/K you should be able to get about $2K for it.

Yes, that's me. I'm moving soon and can't take 3 cars and a motorcycle with me. I love the E30, but I think it would be more practical to keep the E34 540/6 for when I need a car (because of the big trunk and back seat). I have been doing most of my commuting on the motorcycle lately and won't need the car often anyways.

Bump.

How about $2500, without the radio?
