What do you think my M3 is worth?

[Pantless Spency]

i'd say its still worth upwards of 12k.


someone could fix the cancer.

[Pantless Spency]

if you got the cancer fixed it might be worth upwards of 15k.

First things first, I promise you the "looks worse than it is", is a lot worse than you think it is.

this so god damn hard.
what you see is only the tip of the iceberg

I'm with these guys... you start cutting and you're going to be taking out a lot more than you realize really quickly.

No offense OP, but consider that many people who are interested in buying an e30m3 are usually going to look for something a bit more pristine. If I was going to spend 15-20k+ on a vintage car, it wouldn't be one that seemed a bit neglected. I'd be surprised if you get more than 10k. You didn't post a lot of information, but what about records and documentation? You're not even sure that it was repainted, or when, right?

edit: I'm not extremely well versed in the m3 market lately--perhaps 12-13 is more realistic than I imagine.

It's at minimum a $13-$15k car. It's a running, driving, no issue car that needs body work.

Hell, the car in parts is worth more then $12k

Two different buyers for this car.

If you want a quick sale, and sell to anyone, 97% of people will pay $8,500 for that car. Even if they had to borrow thousands of dollars and are given no history. That's the lowest end of the market if it was advertised with a pic or two on craigslist.

On the other hand, if advertised and marketed correctly, you could easily sell this for 14-15k as is.

I agree market the car to the right people $14k-$18k is my ballpark guess

Hehe, you are going to get a crapload of emails and PM now RE: selling your car. probably see offers from $5k-$15K.

Getting a lot of those :).

Not feeling the $15k without weld repair. $12k seems about right. The S14 is there but is not refreshed. Put $10k in and I'd say it's worth $19-$22k. That's why I say $12k tops

[nyChris]

1. Keep it in the condition it is.
2. Drive it everyday like you stole it.

Personally I would love for a low end m3 with a mechanically sound s14. That way I wouldn't feel bad about beating on it like a red headed stepchild.

That being said there is a shell being offered in the classifieds here for just shy of 5K and it has no seat bulkhead.

That is exactly what I would have said. I've seen rolling chassis go for upwards of $10k and don't S14's go for way more than $5k?

A colorado car recently sold on ebay for $16k. It was around 160k miles, running/driving alpine/cardinal w/ rust. There was a hole in the rear wheelwell that looked like you could stick a fist through, though it wasn't in the lower rocker area like yours. Rust repair can get expensive depending on where it is. Mine had sunroof drain area/firewall repair done and it was an easy $3k.

this right here. Anyone saying less than 12K has no idea what the REAL market is at.
