E30 Valuation

[joecrouton]

Found an E30 I may buy...seller dosent know how to price it, and neither do I.

1990 325i 4 Door
5 Spd
137k

Recent maintenance
No rust
Overall good-great shape.
No body damage
Interior perfect

Stock, No mods

Im thinking 3-3.5k, as it is just a damn good example of a stock car. No issues at all. Any thoughts?

That's a pretty good price for a perfect E30. I would offer the lowball end of that, say around 3k. If he disagrees, then go higher in $100 increments, but if you offer cash, it's hard to turn down.

Hit him at $2800.00

I am kinda local. Maybe I could check it out with you?

Is the car not from Massachusetts? I can't possibly think of many cars that have zero rust after 137k that have been driven in Mass. Sounds great though.

[joecrouton]

Hah! No the car is not in MA...if it was I'd prolly pay 4k for it so I didnt have to travel. It's a CA car.

That said if anybody knows of any E30's in MA that arent listed in the usual places, LMK immediately...I'm buying one next week.

[FredK]

Yeah, if I were you and had a whole bunch of time on my hands I'd buy a car from the South or CA.

Put $2500 in small bills in a briefcase, take a picture of it, and then email him asking if $2500 is enough or should you close the briefcase.

Lol classic, funny thing is it would work...

I am going to buy the car I think, schools over, so I do have too much time on my hands till work starts. Tickets to Cali are cheap, and thats where all the E30's are.

The owner is looking for 3500...I think 3.2k is a fair price.
