    Fix or sell?

    This 91 318is I have is causing me stress which I really dont need at the moment.
    The kid who owned it before me had an accident, all above the front bumper, smashing, hood and fender and pushing the rad support in. Estimate to install the new OEM support (bought already) is $600 plus bit to align the hood and fender etc. I drove this car home from Abbotsford at 70mph, drives really nice.
    Its a good driver, 200k km (120,000 miles US car) Sterling Silver with grey cloth sport interior, the interior is really nice, door panels, seats and carpet. I have $1800 into this car, plus $100 for a new fan clutch, $25 for coolant, $150 to redo the bum portion of the drivers seat, $200 for a nice 91 silver hood and fender, $250 for the rad support, fresh synthetic oil change, I think it has a 4.10 LSD but will check tomorrow.
    Heres a few pics. If I cant get $2400 right now for it (includes the hood, fender but the rad support is extra) then it will be parted out. I am sure I can get $600 US for that sport cloth interior. $500 for the engine and tranny, LSD etc etc. Keep in mind guys prices are different up here in Canada.
    I can also deliver parts to Seattle





    I have replacement Sterling silver hood and both fenders, replacement grilles and kidney, all headlights and there is no dmge to frt. bumper at all.





    I am leaving for Alberta for a 6 month contract end of Feb and simply do not have time for this car considering the red IS and M5 need all kinds of work.
    I am in Vancouver, B.C. Canada

    That car looks too good to be parted out. I would fix that one up.

          Does it have an airbag? the canadian 318is's I've seen do not which unfortunately makes them impossible to import into the US. I can't actually see the pics but if it is as clean as some of the cars I've seen up there it would be pretty sad to part it.

              I have a few complete '91 SRS systems someone could have for cheap.

                yeah but you can't just put that stuff in yourself, it has to be by a qualified shop to pass border inspection. and I also think you would need door bars and who knows what else.

                the bad thing is if it fails inspection they will crush it, so it's not something worth dicking around for. I'd rather wait a few years and buy an older friend's mint 318is when I don't have to screw with 25 year old airbag systems.

                  It was originally a US car, it hs a clean Carfax too. Anyone interested in the whole car $2000 US with rad support and hood, fender?
