    Realistic Value of Awesome 325is

    Alright, I know there are a million value threads, but I'm looking for a realistic value of the following. I'm considering this as a potential purchase.

    1990 E30 325is, 105k, ALL maintenence up to date...T-belt less than a year and 10k miles ago, the whole shebang.

    This car drives like a new car, as a matter of fact, I've never seen an e30 nearly this clean with the exception of cars at shows. It really is spotless...paint is immaculate, interior has no spider cracking or tears.

    The car is bone stock, the only cosmetic blemishes are a small parking lot ding on the front left fender, and a little tarnish on the valve cover and intake. Oh, and its missing the lip spoiler, no surprise. In the interior picture, you can see the left drivers kidney bolster is a bit dirty(not cracked, not torn). As for other problems, the only other thing I could find was that the ground for the stereo was bad.


    So, assuming you were in the market, what would you realistically pay for such an automobile?

      Rust free, low milage, mint condish? Your looking at at least 5k, probably more.

          Good to know I didn't spend too much. I'm picking her up tomorrow.

              What you pay 4.5?

              Looks like a great car. Low miles, and sounds like it's still pretty tight. I'd easily pay 4-5, maybe more for it if I was in the market I'd think.

                Find a car for 4k in better condition then.

                  My 89 with 197K I got for 1,500. Everything is in very good condition - however the roof, hood and trunk have some hail damage. :) Other than that it is great! :)

                      My friend just picked up a 1987 bronzit with 87,___ for 4g... pretty good price, and considering that its 1 owner, all service records, mint paint and body, only 2 rust spots. And was babied by an older man.

                        It's the wrong color, but other than that it looks to be in good shape. Clean unmolested 325is' are harder and harder to find. I originally wanted a black or red 325is, but couldn't find a good example so I settled for an M3. I'd still like to get a nice 325is someday.

                          Muahaha. You were the "other caller" I assume? They definately hid that car away...they didn't advertise it anywhere.

                            So nice to see an unmolested E30, especially since it is a 325is.

                            Over $5K, for sure, but anywhere around that sounds like a good deal.

                            Plus, it means mine is worth more every day!

                              Yeah, I'm currently selling the M3. It goes on ebay this sunday. After that, I enter the market for a D-schwarz 2.3L E30 M3 in good condition.
