    need opinions please

    so i have an emergency and have to come up with money i might have to sell my car...dont really want to but i think i might...ive spent a lot of money on it...
    please let me know what you think its worth....
    i think a fair price is 3,500...
    91 318is
    2003k miles on body
    160k on motor(was swapped when i damaged a piston on the old engine)
    timing overhauled done a 2.5 months ago including guides, and sprockets
    new crank seal
    oil pal gasket
    ka motors carbon fiber intake
    new control arms with about 1k on them
    new front bilsten sports about 1.5k on them
    new brake pads all around
    steel braided brake lines
    front calipers are rebuilt
    euro grills
    ellipsoids
    fogs
    h&r sport oe also have a spare of h&r sport rear springs
    new o2 sensor
    changed the driveshaft, and flexdisc
    rebuilt axles
    3.91 vlsd
    just did oil change
    tranny fluid with new redline mtl fluid
    fresh redline gear oil
    ireland engineering street subfram/trailing arm bushings
    interior is fair
    carpet is a little dirty but can be cleaned and dyed black and it will look nice
    z4 short shifter i believe
    zhp knob
    mtech1 wheel

    only things that are bad with the car are
    trailing arm bolt needs to be tighten a little more
    dents on the car
    the front valance was replaced since the one it had before was really beat up.
    dash has a few cracks
    leaks steering fluid, i have a replacement non leaking rack with about 130k

    here are some pictures


    thank you for taking the time to give me an honest opinion

        Trade your sport seats for my comfort seats before you sell?

          3.5k. I've parted out cars in better shape.

          $950 seems like what something like that would go for. List it for 950 - you'll get 750.

              I'd take the $3k, but if you can get 3500 then go for it. Personally I wouldn't pay 3.

                  if i need the money ill even consider taking 2.5 but 3k is a good amount to ask..
                  might not look as clean as other e30s out there, but nice reliable car, i have taken it in a 4 hour trip without stopping with no problem whatsoever...
                  well see what happens...thanks for the honest opinions

                      Could you paint the front valance white?
                      I think that would help it out a lot.

                              i have no clue what happened there...
                              the po said someone hit it with a bat...it was in really bad shape when i bought it. no power steering, blown shocks, tie rods were bad, strut mounts were bad, control arms were bad, bald tires, interior was in pieces, front was bent, engine mounts were broken, the trunk was not aligned properly, the drivers seat bolster was ripped...as shown in one of the pictures...the open diff was whinning when i bought it. the carpet was sticky and had a bunch of oil stains, broken tail light...and had a wiring issue, the radiator was leaking, air leaks all over, subframe bushings were no good. it also had a bad braking problem, which all that was fixed...the paint was dull and took a while for it to shine again...i found all the problems a week after i bought it....

                              i will find out sometime next week if i have to sell the car or not ...depends on the situation....

                              heres how i bought the car
