    Question about pricing on my car

    Not sure where to put this, so mods, move if necessary or, just tell me I'm an idiot, either way works.

    I have a 90 325i, 163k miles, 5 speed, alpine white, tan cloth interior. Has new brakes all the way around, dash has no cracks! Magnaflow muffler. Car has some rust, nothing too huge, just in rear fenders and bottom of doors. Has wonky idle aka needs new intake, needs water pump, timing belt, parking brake parts, possible radiator, and washer jug. The moron that had the car before caulked in the sunroof, so that doesn't work, the A/C needs recharging, interior is in decent shape, other than the weather stripping on the doors need to be fixed. Leaks oil and coolant (radiator?). I drive the car every day, it is a great DD, just has a lot of little problems everywhere. What the hell could I get for it? Thanks.

    Here are more pictures, you can see when they were taken, most of them are when I first got it, the car isn't as super clean as it looks in most the photos, but it's still not horrible. http://www.flickr.com/photos/matttro...th/8316773950/

    Most recent photo. Some small rust starting on bottom of doors, and in the rear wheel lips.

    With the way pricing has been as of late, by one photo, and your small blurb, I could see $1500, but then again, I could see $3000. It's a big gap that more detailed photos will surely resolve.

    Funny thing is, aren't you a photog? I'd expect thousands of images in this thread.

      I think as it sits, a thoughtful buyer wouldn't pay much more than $1800-$2000 for it. However, why don't you just do the rad and tbelt which wouldn't be much more than a few hundred bucks and would probably add another grand or so to your asking price.

        I agree with the previous posters in that in this current condition you're probably looking at roughly $2K.

        Do the WP + TB, smoke test and you could probably get $2.5K-$3K for it.

          Very cool, thanks guys. Yes, I'm a photog, I just don't have a lot of pics of it, and it's f'ing cold out. Not gonna sell it just yet either. Kinda want to get an idea. I'll have more photos up once I can clean it up.
