I'm thinking about selling my car. I just can't handle the cost of maintaining it right now. I have a lot of debt and this car was supposed to help me pay it off, but all it's done is cost me a lot of money. So I wanted to get your opinion on how much my car's worth.
I have a 1988 325i Cabrio. It's an automatic with 142,000 miles on it. Here's some of the work it's had done:
Inspection II @ 141,000 miles
Automatic transmission and diff fluid @ 141,000 miles
Replaced convertible top with slightly used top
Replaced all instrument bulbs and SI board
Replaced door brake
Overhauld cooling system @ 141,000 with new fan clutch, thermostat, and pressure flush with coolant
Replaced rotors and pads @ 110,000 miles
All new vinyl black interior
Replaced hood, trunk, and tonneu cover shocks
Now here's some of the bad:
Needs new steering rack (crack in plastic)
Needs new transfer fuel pump
AC doesn't work--leaks somewhere and needs a recharge of R12
Needs new dash, steering wheel and underdash panel
Needs new or recolored exterior trim
Driver's seat frame needs rewelding
Needs new tool kit (leak in high mount light on trunk ruined them)
Here's some pictures of the car:
The car is still in good condition with good paint (although some polishing would make it look like new). It rides down the road like a good German car should. I just don't have the money to make it what I want it to be, at least with my financial situation.
So, how much do you think the car's worth? I'd like to get $4,500.
