    $800 e30 m3

    Hey Guys !

    I was just searching my local classifieds and found an E30 M3 for $800. The car is far from perfect.. being extremely high mileage at 240,000 Miles with a bit of a rough interior and exterior. I'm thinking about purchasing it to fix it up, and sell for a profit.

    It will require Paint, Interior reupholstering, Brakes, Tires, a full tuneup, Water pump, ignition parts replaced, probably some suspension and who knows what else. Realistically I'm thinking all of that will cost around 10 grand. Would I be able to sell it for around 20 grand CAD? Which is about 15 grand US dollar

    Let me know what you guys think, should I dive into this or turn and run as fast as I can lol

    Thanks

          First, I would check the floorboards for sugary residue. You may have gotten lucky and the flour transported to the bakery may have coated the floors and prevented rust. Make sure any fruit fillings have been removed from the trunk, as they've probably gone bad quite a while ago. There have been a number of yahoos on here who think it's okay to pack the wheel bearings with hazelnut cream--ready access to the materials does not make this okay. Lastly, make sure to properly clean and maintain the center-lock wheels as they're hard to come by.

                    there is a point in the movie "the hangover" where stuart tells allen that he is literally too stupid to insult. this would probably qualify for this thread too.

                      sounds like the sort of car that gets sold with the first phone call

                      and you took the time to make a thread lol

                      Dont buy it, it will be shit.

                        13k is a pretty decent selling price. But after a resto, it'll be worth it
                        If it's got tits or tires, it's gonna cost ya!

                              I found one for $500 the other day, rebuilt s14, mint interior and rust free! I passed up on it it was a bit out of my budget of $100
