Ok, i bought this car last june, crashed, thinking it was a 325i. Upon further inspection, it's not. It's a 325e base model (my first e30). i finally got it running, and my insurance wants too much a month for me to afford to keep this project (i'm a student)
My problem is i have no idea what the car might or might not be worth. it has a lot off pros to it and a lot of cons, so i'll detail, each selling point, and draw back and see what you guys think
1987 325 5sp
12x,xxx miles
mostly stock
The good:
timing belt, water pump, intake manifold gasket, distributor cap and rotor 1k ago
runs good
little to no rust (sat from 96 to 05, apparently... looks the part)
interior in near mint. leather is amazing
working odometer
complete tool kit.
new rear tires.
crackless dash
aftermarket deck, for cd player, and possibly iPod
clean title
The bad:
Was in accident, and face of car will need a lot of work to look right (although it should look close, by end of this weekend)
kind of a hose mess under hood, due to a modified heater core install
hood release cable and strut brace are both working, but tool to get past that are included with sale (vice grip and screw driver)
No floor mats
sunroof crank is broken
ac isn't hooked up (although i have the parts for it, and it maybe hook up this weekend)
As you can see it has a lot of quality pros, as well as a lot of regretful cons
E30s are hard to find in minnesota, so when i found this one, i jump for it w/o thinking about it a lot (very cheap)
here is a link to my photo bucket. let me know what you guys think.
