Seriously, what the wang wrangler happened to the E30 market

[ELVA164]

btw im thankful for all your spoiled kids for having your parents buy these for you, you have increase the price of my e30 by 10 times and for that i love you guys

Those damn kids piss me off. I worked for the money to buy/build my Spitfire. And my 2002. And my E30. What do they do? I dunno, get a B in Social Studies or something? Blegh.

You are lucky.

Yeah, it sucks that folks are getting priced out of good ones, but given what I know I'd give up to keep driving one, its kind of amazing they're still as cheap as they are.

I swapped a 2005 s60 Volvo for my mine, which means that I effectively paid about $11k for a neglected but sound '89 vert, but:
1. moron DMV workers in MD wouldn't accept VA paperwork for an inherited car (the Volvo) {insert looong f'ing rant here}
2. I swapped it with my mother in law's e30 and she needs a car with airbags (sorry NJ)
3. I rescued it before it she neglected it into a parts car
4. Most importantly, I no longer have to drive a non-turbo s60 - the Buick of Europe.

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

i remember two years ago a friend of mine had a black e30 vert with a m50 swap, coilovers, wheels, minty fresh interior, rust free, new top, ect.
needed a few small things to make it top notch, but it was loaded up with a dream of parts.

r3v said it was worth about 5k on a good day, he sold it for 4700.

that same car, same condition, and all would likely fetch 6500 in todays market. kinda crazy how it jumped in two years

Those sideskirts look like they are installed backwards.

LMAO! That was incredible

Someone in ny had 2 e30 for $800 last week on craigslist.

I just bought my car, an 89 325i with 145k on the body and 65k on the engine for $3000. Not dirt cheap by any means, but for a nice car that has been well taken care of and will most likely last me a long while still, I thought it was a very fair price.

Also, most of the mediocre E30's listed in the for sale section of this forum and on craigslist for 3500-5000 don't sell, they sit for months and months. That alone tells you something.

I think I'm the only one on this forum who is the original owner 1988 325is, offer me 20,000.00 grand, and I might sell....

Wrong.
