Help price my e30!

[saturnv7890]

Hey everyone, I’m thinking about selling my e30 sadly. I keep thinking about getting something more geared towards daily driving, like an e46.

What do you guys think I could sell my car for? Feel free to ask any questions, I know I’m forgetting a lot here.

Engine:
-7 psi boost
-260 hp/265 torque
-seta bottom end, about 5,000 miles
-o ringed block
-arp headstuds
-10,000 mile “i” head – stock
-666 fab manifold
-holset h1c turbo
-mitsubishi intercooler
-spal puller fan
-custom 3” mandrel bent exhaust

Management:
-megasquirt 1 – professional “conservative” dyno tune – very reliable
-MSD wasted spark with Mallory wires
-innovate lc-1

Interior:
-crack free dash!
-grip royal steering wheel
-silver m pedals – chinese version
-new shift boot m stitched
-nice seat covers for front sport seats

Exterior:
-no rust at all!
-ebay coilovers – fairly stiff
-bilstein sports
-e36 rack!
-xxr 002 wheels 16x8, painted green
-bumper swap
-is lip
-smoked parking lights and sidemarkers




Known Major Problems:

-front control arms getting loose
-hard starting when cold – needs cranking pulsewidth adjustment on megasquirt, can be annoying
-imperfect paint – lots of random scratches that are easy to overlook
-(current issue about to be fixed) spark plug hole needs to be helicoiled – hopefully not anymore when I actually sell it

where I'm located you could get atleast 5-7k for that its a clean looking car

$6.5k-$8k

oh forgot to say, it's 7-8 psi and 260 hp. And it has o-ringed block and arp studs.

and as of now it definitely has some starting issues that need to be addressed, mostly just a matter of having someone who knows what they're doing mess around with the megasquirt

Then i change my quote 7-8k if your boosted.

I would swap the head to be honest...you can get them cheap, but this isn't something a new owner would want to be concerned with....

[saturnv7890]

I'm considering time-sert, I've heard they're stronger than oem threads too!

I haven't been able to get back to the car yet as it's being stored in a friends garage with inconvenient access, but the threads might not even be stripped all the way or at all. The plug might've partially unscrewed or something

So with the current issues, 6.5k might not be a bad price then? I guess I might be lucky to find someone wanting to spend 6.5k and still do work though.

i know you like the green wheels. however, if you intend to sell the car, not very many buyers will appreciate that color as you do. i would suggest a more neutral color like silver.

looks like a nice car though.

Hmm so I should just peel off the plastidip? Or I could just note to potential buyers that it is just plastidip?

I'd note it's plasti dip and also say that if the buyer wants you to peel it off then you can. 6.5k would be a good asking price.

I disagree with the guy above me. Start off higher than what you actually want. People will lowball you down so realistically start off with 8k. I know in LA Turbo e30s in that shape sell pretty quick for about 6/7.
