BMW E30 Touring. worth?

[OneCleanE30]

ugh, sorry I screwed up my back so I'm running on Vicodin at the moment.

I imported mine in 05/2013, so I went off the 05/88 registration date instead of the 02/88 build date

you and i could be recovery buddys!

[OneCleanE30]

For instance my Touring is a 02/88, however the date of first registration was 05/88. As I imported mine in 05/88 I went by the registration date, however if i wanted to bring it back earlier I would have needed proof

Remember the 25 year rule follows the BUILD Month/Year and not the model year.

Also note that German cars (not sure about UK) Do not have the build data anywhere on the car itself, Nor does the title / registration have it. The closest thing is a Date of first registration. You will need to get a printout from BMW EU with a ProductionDate listed.

do it man. as for the RHD in LHD countries, no problem at all. I used to DD one it was easy peasie. especially with e30 windows which you see extremely good out of.

my G WAGON? hell yea its super rare only a hand full in the world and the only one on the continental US or Canada.
also as far as shipping and other fees your really looking at 2500.00 realistically and im im not sure you can sell it for 10,000.00 + i dont think ive ever seen one sell for more than 7-8 but ive been away from the E30 world for about a year so i could be wrong.

wait actually i did but it had a Euro s50 in it and was all done up, it went for 8-10,000.00 if i remember correctly.
it was actually purchased by VLAD of all people...

alright, i found a wagon for 750$... so i might be selling my 4 door and bringing over a wagon..

good to know, was it worth getting it imported?

actually after its 25 years old they dont check shit.
i imported one of my G-wagon form Germany, its a 1987 LWB 2 door and once it was in the us all i did was get it registered with the importers and previous owners paperwork then got a VISUAL inspection ONLY and thats it.

[M3TROY]

you get it shipped over and it gets checked out, they make sure its up to US emissions and inspection and you get it registered. same way you would if you got a car shipped from across the country.

SOMEONE BUY IT.

[OneCleanE30]

god I want a touring. It's worth as much as you're willing to pay. Do it!

Over here? Figure you spent 3ish on a nice one, and 3ish to ship, so you are 6 into it, If its cherry and in great condition 10 - 11, otherwise 8 - 10.

Mind you I don't sell cars, and could care less about flipping one to make a dime, so I didn't do this with resale in mind. It takes a special kind of person to spend 10K on a 25 year old stationwagon

i was just wondering, id be keeping it anyway. just making sure id be spending money i could get back.

[James Crivellone]

in your opinion what would the car be worth?
