Seriously, what the wang wrangler happened to the E30 market

[canadiankid]

Hahaha. Doesnt look like it even has power windows. I suspect a case of, "Honey, I am trying to sell the e30 but no one is willing to pay what its worth."

I emailed the seller.

"Hi, I am just curious about your BMW, did you accidentally add a zero to your asking price?"

In for reply.

the spectrum sounds like a bunch of penniless 16 year old pimple faced retards.

about once a month, someone posts a thread bitching about e30 prices. we have already 9 pages of thread with people putting in their 2 cents. some comments here are pretty intelligent. the other end of the spectrum sounds like a bunch of penniless 16 year old pimple faced retards.

simple equation really: the vehicle has passed the 20 year mark. the prices are going to go up naturally. i think we all need to get used to the fact that a good e30 is priced in the 3.5 to 4k range these days while a couple years ago the same car was 2.5 to 3k. 7 years from now the same car will be 10k. you will see. i, personally am happy for it. if you can't afford it, perhaps find a car that you can. miata anyone?

i posted this before and i will post it again: about 8 months ago, i was reading a car magazine and they were asking some expert what would be the best 80's vehicle to appreciate in value for the near future. his answer was 3 series bmw's and jeep grand cherokee wagons.

speaking of jeeps, has anyone priced a cj? those things are REALLY expensive for a nice one. i doubt you could touch i decent 80's cj7 for less than 8k. by that standard, an e30 is a real bargain.

All I know is this, around my area any clean titled e30 under $3000 gets sold within 1 day.

lol, true.

Mine was posted up on CL at 11pm saw it a 2am got a response back from the seller at 7am had bought it by 8am. Luckily he lived 8 miles away from my home.

I think it's a positive thing that the cars we love keep selling for more and more.

Everytime I see anothe E30 I get all warm and fuzzy. Unlike most cars ours are getting more expensive while others are getting .. well worthless.

What a depressing thread.

How is the value of the car you own going up depressing? Even if you modify it, there's still gonna be someone who wants a modified e30. I'd personally rather buy a modified and enthusiast owned e30 than an all stock and "clean" but often times neglected mechanically e30.

[Deathtoll]

Hmm, I wonder what kind of value I could ge for mine..

[2ndName]

I just sold mine for $5000. It was listed at $5200. The interest is there at that price point for a clean low mileage example, however it wains quite quick for a M42 model that isn't a coupe I've found. The biggest factor for my price was you couldn't even get close to the same level of maintenance or modification for what I was selling it, let alone the cost of a nice clean car to start with.

The days of $500 E30s are far and few in between, if not gone, at least around here in Austin and we should be happy. Few will be sacrificed to new drivers, shitty owners, drifters (yes you cheap fuckers), and the Honda bros who ventured onto stanceworks now wanting a real car. The chassis will survive another 5 years when I plan on buying another one, albeit more expensive, but it's better than any of those fates imo.

Damn, I saw your maintenance history on your FS post of the car...$5000 is a steal.

What a depressing thread. Makes me want to restore my eta to stock. I'm also second guessing cutting the thing up to make room for the GT35R and side-exit.
