1988 bmw 325is 1000$ is it a good deal?

[Vivek]

F that. blown head gasket, no start... and firm at 1k? Bugger off

+1. If it was either one of those things, then maybe, but both a no start and a potentially destroyed engine, it's not worth a thousand imo.

500 if it is relatively rust free.

[vk88ix]

offered him 800 he basically told me f off

[Noel]

You can do better.

[Vivek]

He won't sell it with that attitude. Anyone with that car should be welcoming $800 with open arms.

Ok, we all need to email this guy offering him $20.

This one looks like a much better bet. Runs, drives. Get some primer on it to stop the rusting. Not saying it's worth the asking price, but a much safer deal. Minimal body work.

This one looks better too:

And, one more in the Seattle area:

The only thing the one you're looking at has going for it is the "is" badging. It ain't worth it. The $200 difference in the asking price can disappear real fast. In looking at risk/reward, I think you'd be better off with any of these.

That thing is a piece of shit for 1k. $500 is max.

Bottlecap scrap is $200?????????????

I call BS Pics or its not real.

+1 If I could get $200 for a set of B Caps, I'll be a rich man.

[mkcman17]

The body looks clean, that's about it...

that's all i look for when buying an e30. i'd say yes.

just because the add is half-assed doesn't make the car worthless.

[CHIF8008]

500 max if the body/interior is in good order.

waste of time man, just keep looking

This is Stamar we're talking about. BS is his middle name.

scrap is *maybe* $50. I sold a set with tires to some girl with a Kia for $100. amazingly they are nicer looking than what was on her car..

[nick475]

not worth it. 1000 bucks should at least get you a running and decent shape e30. thats about how much i spent on mine.

[LuckyHenriksen]

I would love to take it on as a quick little fixerup project if he was willing to negotiate. I think I will send him an email, maybe with enough lowball offers he will realize what its worth
