Thinking of selling my E30, trying to get an idea of what it might be worth. Thoughts? Here's what I've done and a few pics. I listed pretty much everything that I can remember. Pretty much everything works on the car, I can't think of anything that doesn't.
1988 325is - Schwarz/Cardinal (vinyl)
~270k miles, no rust (really!)
Salvage title because of a minor accident that damaged the pass. rear quarter - no frame damage
New:
Tierods
Control arms
M3 CABs
Brake rotors, and pads
rebuilt ebrake
IE green subframe bushings
IE TABs
Diff fluid + gasket (redline)
Shifter bushings (front is delrin)
UUC DSSR
ZHP shift knob
Rebuilt driver's door lock
Pass. door seal
Bilstein sport / H&R Race
Turner aluminum RSMs
RSM reinforcement plates
OE front strut mounts
Spring pads
E90 Drop hats
Odometer gears from odometergears.com
New-used Blower motor
Blower resistor
Rebuilt wiper linkage + new rubber grommets
Antennae grommet
Shift boot - rubber one that seal the trans tunnel
173 ECU
Trunk vent seals
Trunk roundel (hood roundel didn't need replacement)
Seat belt receivers
Recent (per PO):
Clutch
Trans fluid
Head rebuild (@200k)
Bad:
Front lip missing
Front bumper
Rear end 'clunk' - might be the diff bushing
Rear subframe bushings need to be reinstalled properly
No head unit
Leaks/burns oil, rough idle but runs fine off idle.
Paint is fair - partly original, rear quarter and hood have newish paint
A few door dings, one small dent, pass. front fender has a small/minor crease that I think could be easily fixed.
Interior:
Rear/pass seat are good (need new seat shocks)
Carpet is worn in driver's footwell but easily covered with a floor mat, good condition otherwise.
Driver's seat bottom has a tear.
Dash has one crack going over gauge cluster hump, and one small crack in the tray that you won't normally see.
Pics from the PO, since I haven't really taken any. It looks pretty much the same, except for being a little lower, the lip is missing, and the front bumper is a little fucked up.






So, what do you guys think it's worth? Keep in mind I'm in NJ where a genuinely rust free car is harder to find.
