[e30onBBSs]

dope m3. Whoever buys it is doing well!

[DasTaco]

lol true

Am the only one who would rather have the S38 swapped M3 for half the price?

nope. that's exactly what I was thinking

[markseven]

No, you cant just replicate an all original 17k miles e30 m3.

100% Sure dsphil was joking about some happenings with CarerraBoy's shop.

#1 vehicles in Hagerty Price Guide are the best in the world. The visual image is of the best car, in the right colors, driving onto the lawn at the finest concours. Perfectly clean, the car has been groomed down to the tire treads. Painted and chromed surfaces are mirror-like. Dust and dirt are banned, and materials used are correct and superbly fitted. The one word description for #1 cars is "concours."

#2 cars could win a local or regional show. They can be former #1 cars that have been driven or have aged. Seasoned observers will have to look closely for flaws, but will be able to find some not seen by the general public. The paint, chrome, glass and interior will all appear as excellent. No excessive smoke will be seen on startup, no unusual noises will emanate from the engine compartment. The vehicle will drive as a new car of its era would. The one word description for #2 cars is "excellent."

#3 cars could possess some, but not all of the issues of a #4 car, but they will be balanced by other factors such as a fresh paint job or a new, correct interior. #3 cars drive and run well, but might have some incorrect parts. These cars are not used for daily transportation but are ready for a long tour without excuses, and the casual passerby will not find any visual flaws. "Good" is the one word description of a Hagerty Price Guide #3.

#4 cars are daily drivers, with flaws visible to the naked eye. The chrome might have pitting or scratches, the windshield might be chipped. Paintwork is imperfect, and perhaps the fender has a minor dent. The interior could have split seams or a cracked dash. No major parts are missing, but the wheels could differ from the originals, or the interior might not be stock. A #4 car can also be a deteriorated restoration. "Fair" is the one word that describes a Hagerty Price Guide #4 car.

^ lol

[mr2peak]

I certainly haven't seen any #4 priced M3's recently, they all seem to command a bit more than that

[reelizmpro]

There are few #4's left at all these days because owners are turning them into 3's and 2's. They are those projects that everyone's looking for so demand is quite high. I think owners of #4's are trying to market the cars higher based on #1's and 2's, on potential and because of the higher demand.

[jhaurimn]

nope. that's exactly what I was thinking

But guess what? You cant afford the s38 one either ;)

[Todd Black 88]

I think #4 cars are the basket cases/running parts cars.

[e30austin]

EAG.....


...buying up those alright condition cars, marking up 1000000%, and still selling them.

Making it impossible for the real enthusiast to afford dream cars.

This. Don't even get me started.

[reelizmpro]

I think #4 cars are the basket cases/running parts cars.

Actually, their description of #4's isn't that bad so I wouldn't go that far. It sounds like a typical 25 year old car that has been well used or neglected and kept outside. Hagarty isn't even considering the basket case/running parts cars and shells but they should since their values have also gone up. If they did they'd be 5 and 6's.

[G FORCE]

Agreed. I think mine falls under the #4 category but I'm still ok with that value!

[GillesBigCowboy]

I love the E30 price trajectory, but I need at least one more straight coup before prices go nuts.
