Sell my e30?

[slammin.e28]

So, as many of you know, I got my e30 for $500 a few months ago. I intended to fix it, then flip it. $300 later, I had it running and in good order, mechanically.

Then I drove it.

Now, I am attached, but a friend needs a car and offered me $2500 for it.

What to do?

I've bought all this shit for an M60 swap, not to mention the countless hours troubleshooting and fixing little shit.

If I sold it, I'd want to get a late model 'vert, but for $2500, I don't think I could find a very good 'vert. By very good, I don't mean it has to be running, just good body/top wise. Interior I can deal with, I just don't want to do body work.

Or, I could sell the e30, acquire parts for M60 swap, then dump it in my coupe shell. But I really want a 'vert.

Or, sell it, reseal the M60 and sell that + all the parts I've gotten for it, then buy a nice 'vert and start over with my original plans of dumping my spare M30 into, and run some positive pressure through it.

What would you do?

If the car has rust, use this as an opportunity to get rid of it and buy one that is rust free.

No rust.

Edit: It's a 1991 325i sedan, 5sp.

Are you attached to it or do you want to make a buck? Most people will sell a possesion for the right offer, is 2.5K enough? You need to ask yourself that question.

Seems you want to sell the car but are worried you might not be able to sell the M60 swap stuff.

ask for 3k. then hold out till you find a nice vert. Your orig. plans were to sell for profit your making 5 times what you paid.

it seems like a pretty common thing when people have 38 different projects in their heads that they can't make up their mind, go figure. :D

in reality, it's hard to get every last thing on the list done, so pare it down to the things you want the most, and ditch the rest.

you gotta give at least one of these currently mythical vehicles a shot at actually happening.

Sell it all and buy a miata.

Lol....you're funny. I got a 'vert.

If I wanna auto-x, I'll just make the grey parts car into a stripped down track car.

Take the $2500, find another $800 dollar car, repeat. Get the right vert eventually.

sell it and buy a real vert.

This is logical. I am not logical. I just want a 'vert. Therefore, I am not thinking sensibly. The most useless type of car, one with no roof, but I want it, so I get it. ;)

Its okay because E30s are easily outdone while autocrossing by e36's. More power and bigger tires.

If you sell it then you're a punk ass bitch.

I guess my new last name is Bitch.

But it's not like I won't have an e30. I've got another coming in right after this one, so there will be no days w/out e30 ownership between owning and acquiring.

Sell.
