    My E30: what do you think it's worth?

    Alright so I initially bought this E30 as a temporary car until I finished my MR2 project, which was my daily driver up until this past August. Here's the details:

    -1989 325i 2dr 195k
    -Alpine white exterior/black vinyl interior
    -Passed MA safety inspection last month
    -Recent timing belt service, and many new/recent parts including left rear wheel bearing, brake hard lines, tires, wiper blades, air filter, headlamp bulbs, etc.
    -Engine runs great, idles at 600 consistently, valves will be adjusted before sale
    -Pass. window doesn't work and sunroof is a little iffy (it's winter so I've only really tried to open it once, felt like the hand crank was gonna break).
    -Original head unit with aftermarket speakers
    -Clutch is tight and the transmission feels great too.
    -Needs at least two struts but I don't want to replace them just yet considering I figure whoever buys it won't like my choice of replacement (stock Sachs or Tokico).
    -ABS doesn't work and I think it needs front rotors/pads but I will replace those before the sale.
    -Door locks don't work, haven't had time to fully research the problem
    -Installed a Dinan chip, M-Tech I wheel, and 3.73 LSD

    Cosmetically, the pictures will speak for themselves. I have posted it on craigslist and gotten about 40 emails in 1 week, and 3 solid offers meeting my asking price of $1500. Given that this car is in MA, one of the rustiest car states around, what do you think it's worth? Any help is appreciated!

      If you've had firm offers of your asking price, why are you asking us? Take the $1500 and run, IMO. I can buy a rust-free example of that car in socal for less than $1k any day of the week.

                  I'd give you $250 if you drove it down to me. But if you sell to someone who has never owned an e30 before I could see 1.5K-2K. Post on a honda board, those guys will give you 400 just for your bottle caps.

                        Annnd it's in New England. Old cars have rust. For those of you lucky enough to live somewhere where they don't salt the roads in winter, maybe this concept is foreign to you. It is a daily-driven car.

                          Meh that rust isn't too bad. I think 1500 is fair and you should get it without too much trouble.
