So all this bs about... its a $1500 car..

Its a lowball

does no one know how to buy a car?
you offer low! remember you can always go up, but NEVER down!

OP if it were me, i'd BS and say, oh it needs new fender, this and that. then pull out the cash, say i got 1400 right here. seller says no, 2k.
i say, c'mon man, i buy these all the time! 1600.
seller says 1900. you get it for 1800 all day, 1700 if you try.

i've never paid asking price for a car. idk maybe other people dont have the negoitiating skills!

I misunderstood...thought the OP was asking what to ask for his ES..

I have owned over 40 E30's...Got the negotiating thing down by now:)

oh if selling then start WAY high, you can always go DOWN, but NEVER back UP!
if it were me selling i'd start at 2650, then hopefully take 1900-2k.

sold my other e30 for 1500, had it listed at 2k, reduced it to 1700obo and took 1500

i sold my 86 325es for $2700 last year. rebuilt engine. paint not perfect, broken AC, no mods. this year i could have gotten $3200.

Sold an 86 325es two years ago for $3500. Just sold another one for $4000. Both cars were pristine 100% stock. Both cars sold within 2 days of posting with people lining up to get it.

On the other hand, there are below 1k ones that have been sitting for weeks and nobody wants them.

In my experience, market for stock unmolested E30s is very strong.
