Sick of whats it worth threads

[naplesE30]

So I suggest a thread where you post your car, price,location, date bought, mileage, and relevant info and picture of your e30 when you purchased it. Short and sweet all in the same format. Something like



Year : 1991
Model: 325ic
Trans: Auto
Mileage: 81,000
Price: $1,000,000
Purchase date: 8/13
Location bought: FL
Issues: The power steering rack leaks a little, ac works, power top works, needs timming belt, seats need re-dye and stitching repair.

I hope I didn't overpay.



This would give a nice way to track the value of the e30 from a few years back to the current time. Perhaps it could be stickied. Hopefully its not a repost or already been done.


Yeah yeah I know a car is worth what someone is willing to pay etc etc and I already have a pretty good pulse on the market I think.

IMO there are so many variables it really isn't feasible to put together anything worthwhile. When you look at mileage, maintenance, modifications, and cosmetics the possibilities are endless, and what a buyers value more changes by person. And this is r3v, anything above free is overpriced.

i imagine the majority of the cars on this forum were not purchased from a member of this forum.

Fact: I payed too much for mine.

Year : 1991
Model: 318is
Trans: 5spd
Mileage: Unknown, stopped at 103XXX
Price: $2000
Purchase date: 4/11
Location bought: Central Ohio
Issues: Front end damage, salvage title, no muffler, faded paint, cracked dash, severely needed a good tune up. In general, it was beat.

Pros: UUC short shifter, newer Bilstein sports and H&R springs with some real nice shock mounts. Good condition sport seats

I knew I could clean it up pretty easy but with the damage and the salvage title, I really should have payed less than $1500 for the car. Oh well.
