What would you pay for a mint stock e30 with low miles

[Xat1cZ]

I wouldn't go over 4k for any regular stock e30 .... But I'm not in the market for any regular stock e30 either so it doesn't matter and with 4k and tight budget I'd do alot more than a regular stock e30....

HEY, that's my latest acquisition! :)


I paid close to 4 for mine, but my mileage isn't stupid low or anything..

That's a good deal. Id love I find a one owner 318is

Ok, how about if we make it one of those 1 owner, dealer maintained unicorn type deals?

Yeah I saw your thread on it. I am really jelly. Good find man.

[e30saam]

5k is pretty reasonable for the average buyer. but I wouldn't pay that much for it, unless it was a sterling silver or alpine white 1991 318is slicktop LSD and cloth interior. I got my one owner 325e with 155k miles for $500, yeah im pretty cheap.

I think $5k is a reasonable price for an unmolested, 120k miles stock example

I'd consider anything below 100k miles to be pretty low mileage for an E30, precisely because they were "everyday cars" for most people. Prices have definitely been going up. I've read a number of threads by guys who want to get back into an E30 after a break, titled something to the effect of, "What the hell happened to E30 prices!"
R3v is also prone to semi-conflicting advice. Many would advise to spend more up front on a good example, rather than later on costly repairs, but ask their opinion on a "good example" and R3v will probably tell you that it's overpriced. It's all pretty arbitrary. They're worth whatever you or other perspective buyers are willing to pay for them.

Mileage is relative. Some cars that have lower miles could be worse than some with higher miles. It all depends on overall condition of the car. To be honest though, I wouldn't pay anything more than 3-3.5k. It's not exactly a classic to dump money on. As much as I love e30s, they really are just a typical "everyday" car unless it's an M. The hype about it being "the next 240sx" or the cool kid's "drift cars" shouldn't make us pay the drift tax.

Just bought my 2 owner 91 pb auto vert with 81k on it for $4k bone stock. Seats could use some conditioning, body has some rock chips and scratches here and their but zero rust or dings. AC works and car is damn good condition for its age. No records other than stamps in the maint book but it was obviously well cared for.... I figure its worth $6k when seats are reconditioned and it is buffed and detailed out.

I walk past a 30k mile e30 M3 every day at work.....Turner Motorsport......Will's "prom queen" as we call it :)

I've haven't seen him drive the car in over a year.....I hate seeing it there.

Seriously. They're 20+ year old cars but that does not mean 125k is justifiable as low mileage.

I would disagree with you. On any highly sought after model, after 20+ years low milage has a different meaning. We're talking like 5k miles a year here. I know of noone who does that little driving, but apparently they exist.

[oliver.r]

My car has 37k miles, does that equal showroom miles?

[dannyyisntt]

No e30 is worth more than $400

[lolcantturn]

25k is low mileage. 125k is high mileage. Get it right.
