seams a little high for a car that has been crashed

I think that regardless of what people are getting similar cars for, you paid what you paid. The car was worth $5900 to you, and you paid up. Looks like a great car to keep as close to OEM spec and to drive around in.sigpic<< wreckedComment

Very nice looking car. I hear a lot of guys on here talking about picking up clean E30's for $2K, but ALL the ones I ever see are asking $3-4K and THRASHED or $2K with 250K on them. Most of the cheaper swapped cars are pretty rough too, so don't play the blame game about your purchase. Enjoy your car - this forum can answer any question you have."If the sky were to fall tomorrow, the tall would die first."

Men when I was selling my car i couldnt get 2k for it, its not mint but not beat either. But its whatever now since I decided to keep the car and fix it up.

Dont worry about it. Just enjoy driving it. I would just add a set of billy sports and H&R springs.sigpicComment

No way, angels don't belong on the 30.Originally posted by e30frosh View Post
I'm going to enjoy it for sure, but the money is still pretty important, being in college... I've just been saving for one for a good while :D Could have allocated it better, but I'm happy, just gotta eat some ramen for a while to make up for it.
Will probably get lower eventually once things are settled, though I do plan to keep the car looking otherwise stock. Well... maybe a plastic bumper swap...Comment

Well.. congrats and all for sure. It DOES look clean, but let me give you some perspective. I have bought 5 e30s in the last 2 years.
87 3265iS pretty beat but pulls hard. Billy HDs/ driveshaft/ 7/10 interior/ 5/10 exterior, but no accidents, some hail damage. 1750.00
90 325i respray in Calypso, not a great job but clean from 10 ft. HR/ Billy sports/ TB and WP by PO/ interior 8.5/10 exterior 9/10. 1900.00
88 seta 150k miles Carfaxed, AW with 8/10 exterior, 9/10 black interior. 2100.00 sold for 3500.00 2 mo. later.
85 eta high miles, Schwarz in 8/10 exterior, interior, tan 7/10. overheated, no warp or HG problem. Replaced WP TB and hoses. Paid 1200.00 sold 3 weeks later, 2750.00
90 318iS Clean, near perfect but with high miles. Stored for 7 years, have receipt for storage. NO SUNROOF. MT 5, CAI, headers ( not sure what brand), Texas car, no rust, no wrecks. Exterior 9.5/10 interior with new Courbeau seats, perfect rear cloth seats. iS rear lip and front air dam (the one with four slits horizontal). SSK, drilled rotors and BBS 15 x 7 on new Kumhos. Paid 3100.00 sold for 6500.00 a week later to my partner.
So..... 5900.00 ? I guess if its as clean as it looks, it would be worth it - MINUS the fact it was crashed. I wouldnt have paid that, nope, but then IM a cheapass...as you can see.
Good luck with it and happy motoring.sigpic 1987 325isComment
