Junk yard find, worth buying & parting?

[BMWManiac]

To be honest, counter with $500....up to $650....but if he doesn't budge at all, just get it for $800....still an amazing price if it just needs another engine. We don't know about the suspension, rear diff, transmission, etc either, so bring those up as points to consider.

A lot of pipe dreamers in this thread.

Lol at the sell for 4k posts....car will have salvage/branded title. No 4 door 318i with salvage title out of a junk yard is worth that much.

If it warrants $4k, the salvage title isn't really going to scare any e30 enthusiast....looking at some of the prices people are selling their e30s for, $4k for a salvaged title beauty is probably even low.

No e30 enthusiast would spend 4k on a 4 door 318.

Maybe not, but they'd pay 3500. There are 86 etas selling for 3k around here.

Maybe for a mint low mileage car (even that's really stretching it for a 4 door 318 or e) , not for a bag of dicks sitting on a pile of crap in a scrap yard.

Someone asking 3-4k for an Eta is not the same as a salvage title 4door 318i from a junk yard selling for 3-4k. Crackhead prices.

LOL people!

4k for a 4-door 318i? with pictures of when it was in the junkyard? it will definitely have some sort of title issue, if it has one at all now.

yeah.. it's a parts car, guys. sorry.

Its only a 318 right now....the motor is bad, so swap in a s52 and then?

Worse case I will part it out for the community if there are unforeseen issues. This only if I can buy it at a reasonable price. I'm researching now to see what the average price are for bumpers and doors and such. I also have to consider shipping hassles because of the not so strong BMW community in MI. Not sure of type of title they would issue so that would also be a key factor. I really appreciate the help so far. If anyone in MI would like to buy the car for themselves I would gladly forward the location to you via pm.


EDIT: just called the yard and the e30 has a clean title and will transfer as such.

[FLG]

That's good news.

Still not worth the hassle and cost to get that car back road worthy.

So if you drop a S52 in the car and sell it, it wouldnt bring more money because it would say 318 in the title? You're right, there are some real idiots in this thread

...I would probably be willing to have it shipped if you want to part it out. I'd take the chassis off your hands. PM me when you get it and we can talk.

No it wouldn't bring as much money cause it would have a 318 salvage title. Even clean title your still not making money. Are you aware the costs of a proper s5x swap?
