Whats it worth?

[E30Drivah]

You are an idiot.

Please tell me why your car is worth 9k. In the picture I see an M20 and nothing that you wrote in your description tells me this is a special vehicle in any way.

please SHOW ME where I SAID 9k.

Thanks.

I NEVER SAID MY CAR WAS WORTH 9k IN ANY OF THIS THREAD. I was joking when i said trade me with a swapped car because the first response was "9k". IM NOT A FUCKING TOOL. I know damn well my car isnt worth anywhere near 9k. I would never expect more than 4k max in its current state.

[Rodoni]

also for those who fail to read.

I have NO intention on selling. The question is, what is my car worth at its current state.

[Rodoni]

I saw this for sale on CL. 9k right? FYI baye30.net typed in doesn't work...

www.baye30.net you fool. even on my CL ad it doesnt say 9k.

If you aren't going to sell it why does it matter what it's worth?

[Rodoni]

Don't you like to know how much your stuff is worth incase you had to sell it for finicial issues?

What if you need to sell it fast and you want to get as much as you can but price it so it can sell quick?

[E30nate]

what if he wants to know the value for insurance purposes.

[DRTSRFR]

I'd say 3500 max.

And Nate, you and I both know insurance thinks all e30s are worth 1k or less

[slow e30]

In reality of kbb? 2800ish.

in the imaginary world of bmw owners? 6.5-8g tops.

[slow e30]

now before you jump down someones throat, remember a basic thing about cars: they are NOT an investment. a swapped car, mis-matching numbers, other than original.

[Rodoni]

I know 100% that cars are not an investment. Unless they are collectables of course.

But there is no way I could only fetch 1,000$ for my car.

+1 part out recoup your losses and dump it...if i weee to buy as is i'd low ball 2500-3500 tops given the mileage and interior your basicall buying the mods and shell for an engine swap and custom interior

[dtm@heart]

4000 tops because of the parts, but really the problem here is that the chassis is almost 300k old. I don't care how strong the motor is, but at that kind of mileage, materials must start to break down from all those years of flexing. The car is QEOL.

From what i can tell about it, around here a car like that would sell for 1-3k. I've seen many e30s sold, some very nice, and never seen a non-M sell for more than 4-5k, even with 24v. Pictures make most things look better. The only thing "good" about it besides just being an e30, is the suspension, but anyone can pick buy and install their own suspension. Tired ass 300k motor and painted stock brakes haha! Personally I wouldn't even look into a car with huge ridiculous flaming tacky fuckin stickers on it and mods unless I really knew the person and car well. Its probably had the shit driven out of it.

So to me, I wouldnt pay anything for it unless it was a great deal for parts/shell... maybe 500 or less. There's plenty of clean, stock e30s with less miles that would be far better to buy. Maybe shit is different out there in California.

edit- After re-reading the list, I take back what i said about the suspension being "good". You've just got a regular e30 like everyone else on here. Nothing wrong with that though...dont expect great returns for little mods, or any mods.

There has been countless e30's that have sold on r3v for more then 5k.
