E30 S52 Touring or a 911?

I've seen two or three in BC.

I currently have an s50 swapped touring, and there isnt much I would trade it for. After having driven an e30 m3, I don't think I'd do that trade (blasphemy i know).

When completely stock, my insurance company valued the touring at 15k. I tend to agree with the 15k price tag, depending on the goodies you have on/with the car. Tourings in NA are rare, let alone one with a desirable swap already done.

I hope you get 30k for it and set a benchmark for mine :P

This.

It has been legal to import them to Canada for a few years now, and apparently there are only about 15-20 country wide.

Where do you get your numbers from There are probably almost that many tourings just in BC, and they sell for about the same price as normal E30s, maybe just a little more if they are 25 YO by build date as they can easily be imported to the US. Your car must be extremely clean to be valued at 15k.

I love e30s don't get me wrong. But id take that 911 any day of the week

the 15-20 numbers? I was talking to a few guys on a Canadian bmw forum that have tourings, plus a few dealership service guys when I was doing research on mine.

Apparently the BMW dealership in Vancouver keeps a few e30 touring specific parts on hand because there are 3 or 4 in the area.

If you are questioning the value that the insurance company came up with, you'd have to ask them haha, although the appraiser said it was one of the cleanest e30s he has seen in person (hard to keep them clean in the east coast salty air).

I don't know about 30k but I would be really happy with 15
Seems pretty close. My friends that ask give me the same answers. Half wagon half 911.....

Not surprising considering BC is the closest point of contact to Japan where im betting those tourings came from.

Yahtzee. I know that I will own a 911 at one point in my life.

[M3TROY]

you can import them legally to the USA now, so the rarity could decline

+ 1 the more readily available the less rare it will be.
lets not forget its a limited market, everyone says they LOVE the wagon but i really dont see anyone spending 12-15k+ for one over an E30 M3 for that price.
again for reference just look at the one that sold a little over a year ago with the euro s50 with all the bells and whistles for just under 10k and it was for sale for about 6 months if i remember correctly.
so yea people can SAY they want one and would pay top dollar but when it comes down to brass taxes......

I'd imagine many of the ones left in Germany to import are rusty piles of shit by now. .

Sadly yes, its amazing how much salt is over there.

I say keep the Touring, I love Porsches, but damn that touring is nice.

[Silverdogz]

Definitely the touring. Things are stupid rare and the old porsches have a bit of a habit of this.
