Opinion needed on '83 318i

[golfdmb18]

My friend is looking to pick up an e30. He found one at this dealership local to us and it is a 1984 318i hennarot 5-speed. It is mint!!! I went and looked at it but didn't drive it or get inside. It has 74,000 miles on it and is perfect. No rust, perfect paint and the interior is also perfect. The guy is asking 3500 which i though was a pretty good deal. It had bottlecaps but they were also mint with new tires. With some euro bumpers and new wheels it would be a great car. Do you guys think 3500 is a good deal? I was thinking he should offer 3000 but 3500 is still a good deal. Sorry, i didnt have my camera with my when i went.

i think it's kind of pricey...
Even once you stick on some Euro bumpers, it will still have the m10 motor. If your fine with that, go ahead. I wouldn't buy it though.

At first thought 3500 for a 84 318 is out of control but if i had that perfect of a car i would be asking the same, maby more. Its probably worth that but it would be hard to find a buyer. If its trully that mint i say its worth it but i am sure alot of people will say not its not.

I would think its high, but I have seen 325e with stupidly low miles sell for over $10,000, so if someone likes it, to me its a good deal.

Sounds identical to my aunts car. I dunno if I would pay that just cause of the M10, but it would be a sweet car to cruise around in. If he doesn't mind the M10 I would go for it. Obviously make an offer like 3K or 2800, but I say go for it.

$3500 is too much, definately get it if he'll go 2800. it would be a perfect car to run around town in, and if you keep the mileage low im sure there will be a market for it in the future. (definately wont lose any more value). also it would be a perfect boost candidate.
