Tell A New Guy How To Buy A Car

[IAmGary]

Thanks for the tips everyone - the advice to walk if the seller won't agree to a PPI is a good one. But what assurance do I give them that I won't be running of with their car?

I have no clue either if it makes you feel any better.

Also I don't think sites like edmunds will price an e30 correctly. I do not think they are up to date on the rising popularity of the cars, but i couls be wrong.

Nada quides is starting to get a pretty good grip on the e30 market. first time I checked was 6 months ago and it was ~$2.9k for a 91 e30. 6 Months down the line they now value them at ~$3.2k last time I checked

Recipe for modern E30 pricing:

(KBB value / KBB value) *fourteenkaydollarays

You forgot to mention the KBB pricing isn't $USD.. I think they're using some sort of new greenback that combines Monopoly dollhairs and Ahmerikahn Rupees. Kinda like the Amero



Waitwut..? :shock:

I book BMW pre-purchase inspections every day, what happens 90% of the time is the buyer agrees with the seller on a time and books the appointment, then the seller drops the vehicle off and picks it up after we're done. The buyer pays the bill in full, and in turn gets exclusive rights to the information. Works really well.
