let's talk about the value a current owner gives a car. we all have preferences/prejudices on e30's but i'm curious to know of there is a consensus on evaluating the prospective PO.
after nearly a year, the owner of a '91 318i has responded to my note left under a wiper blade.
she's the original owner and obviously loves the car. she claims to be selling it because she's moving and the cash flow at the new house will prevent her from having the car serviced at the dealer. she has ALWAYS had the car serviced at the dealer she bought it from; this includes routine oil changes.
she apparently is the consciencious, original owner that i have always considered to be next best to new-from-the-dealer.
presuming her story to be true, how much if anything does this history add to the value of the car? or at least mitigate a high asking price?
the stand alone value of the car is easy for me to judge, so i don't need the standard r3v m42/4 door hatred.
thanks,
robert w.
