sell price advise please

[Buzztt]

i realized i dont get to drive my e30 and have decided to sell it, i could really use some help on the sell price though, please let me know what you think i should list it for, i'm not sure where the market is right now, i want to get rid of it quickly but dont 'have' to sell it. If i dont get a fair price i'll just hang onto it.

1987 e30 325i
74,xxx miles
original paint in good condition
new leather interior (just replaced, 20 miles ago)
new side skirts (replaced last year)
new front and rear bumpers (replaced last year)
roof replaced approx 4 years ago
all switches, lights etc work
new shocks
mtech steering wheel
z3 shifter
new floor mats
pioneer h/u with ipod cable
dash has no cracks or scratches
all struts for boot,trunk lid and soft top cover are new
have not addressed the a/c, it does not blow cold

just spent $2100 having my mechanic go over it


condition is very good, there are a few marks, chips etc on the paint, not that many, very good for its age. Wheels could use a re-paint, that was next on the list of things to do.

About $10k+/- if you had time to sell it. $7-8k quick.

[naplesE30]

^yup. Convertible weather time is running out so I would drag your feet on listing it.

was planning on listing today, just wanted to get an ideas on price, my mechanic thinks its worth 10k, thinking i'll list at 9950 and see what happens

[vitiokas95]

10k easily I would think. Condition is great

[ST1G]

Yeah, I'd do $12000 and let someone jew you down from there.

i just listed for $9500.00 on autotrader

thank you everyone for the advice

Id sell the 996 vert and put an S52 and some wheels/ suspension on this car

first off, it's not an mtechnic car. second, that paint is not original. it's an 87 325ic with fiberglass parts added on. while the interior is nice that fake body kit doesn't help the value. also 87 is a terrible year for an e30 and especially the vert. i think you may be hard pressed to get anything over 8k for the car. people that have 12k+ to spend want a clean, un-molested car, from a non-rust state.

Hence my logic of selling the 2nd P-Car and only having one vert. Definitely get more for the Porsche than the E30 and he can continue to modify it.

I think most people missed that it wasnt a real M-tech car
