Anybody know of a cheap third party website for E30 value?

[5Toes]

Buddy and I are buying another '30 for funsies for $500. We dont want to pay taxes on $3500-$2000 so I am looking for a website for that will give used car values (besides NADA) for cars over 20 years old.

Any ideas? In Washington I just have to print the page out and show it to them, and if the price on the page is within $2000 of the bill of sale you pay txes on the sale price

Thanks guys

NADA link to a 1992 e36... maybe they will accept that. lmao.

Are you stoned? I don't think this makes any sense. Don't you pay tac on what the bill of sale says?

Not in washington...

So you have to pay "use tax" on a private purchase car? That's some bull shit!

I never heard of that. In AZ you just pay to register the car, that's it. The only way you pay taxes is if you buy a new car. Seems to me like double taxation.

Way to go hipster state!

in massachusetts you pay tax at the value of the car (I think its NADA value)...not bill of sale amount

^ yup same here. But if the purchase price is within $2000 of the NADA value then you can pay taxes on the purchase price.

Basically NADA says a 87 325 4 door is worth $3050... which is bull shit

Ya nada isnt giving prices for pos condition cars...

Damn that's rough. Here you can say you paid 1 dollar for it and they have to tax you according because all cars over 10 years old don't require a bill of sale

You have to get the forum that you write in that the car needs some work and then have the seller sign it.

pretty sure you just give them a bill of sale with the price on it. they can raise a fuss if their "book" value is way off from the sale, but if it's rough you can tell them so.

[5Toes]

Thanks Nando, we will likely just do that

Damn dude. I would expect California to have something like that. Good luck.

You talking the bill of sale???

Here in Canada over 15 years old it needs to be appraised by a used car dealer. Translation: A wink and 50 dollar bill to a sketchy dealer and he just appraised your car a giant heap of scrap.
On the flip side, I sold an 02 car to my parents for a dollar. We were trying to fill out the paperwork for giving a car to a family member and the lady at the counter said,"This is stupid just sell it to them for a dollar." Taxes came out to 13 cents and yes, I put that on the credit card.
