    '88 or '91, which to chop up?

    OK guys, give me your opinion.

    I am going to build a nice stock 325i for resale. i am doing it more for fun than profit, but I want some local college girl to get a damn nice car, so I am going to sell it for top dollar. Fresh paint, fresh motor, nice stereo, nice alarm, nice sport seats, etc. The '91 is airbag, and the wheel is in good shape.

    I have all the parts I need, including a decent 5 speed, but an open diff.

    So, here is the question: Which shell to chop? Both are black, both in terrific condition, both have clear title. I only have one front valence, I only have 1 "is" lip, only 2 good fenders, only 1 decent windshield, only 1 decent interior, etc. My car needs a late rear valence and a few other body parts (Muaaahahhaahaa!) to make it happy.

    What you say, guys, build (for resale) an '88 or a '91?

      I'd say 91 just because it is from the "90s."

      It'd make it seems newer than an 88, even though production date on late models really has little meaning.

        '91 = higher resale value no matter what you did to it.
