    How much would you sell it for? e30 blown headgasket

    Hi guys, I have a question for everyone, currently in the thought of selling my e30. I've been through so much with it, first my m42 past away with a blown head gasket, cracked piston, broken oil pump, ect. After that happened i purchased an m20 along with the tranny ect, from a guy on craigslist. once i finished the swap i started the car and saw huge amounts of oil coming out of where the head gasket would be, in between cylinder 3 and 4 is where its leaking. just my luck, no more cash to fix it :'( its time to sell it, how ever I don't know the most I could sell it for? here are the simple specs.
    1991 bmw 318is w/ m20 swap
    ~120,000 miles
    4.10 LSD
    headers
    m tech 1 steering wheel
    m tech shift knob
    crack free dash
    e36 seats
    mark d chip
    m42 radiator
    Has rust bubbles here and there, nothing serious, the only one that would be of concern would be the rear right quarter panel. PLEASE ANY THOUGHTS OR SUGGESTIONS WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. thanks

        I've bought a mint 91 vert with a blown headgasket for 1k. 1 90 bronzit 325 coupe for 550, needed head rebuilt, and 1 black 90 318i vert for $400 with a blown headgasket. Depends on the market where you live and how much a person wants to pay.

            I posting my automatic 325is early model for $1500. Since you're is a late model you can sell it for more. I would start at 1500.
            Bought parts from me before? leave your feedback here

                  You would get more by parting it. 1500 is on the high side for a non runner, I usually offer people 500-750 dep on whats on it. Usually about 1/2 the value of it in parts.

                    I would list for 1400 OBO. Most I would personally pay for a car in this condition with what you listed is 900-1000 tops.

                      I'd say part it out, but it looks like a clean car and seems like a waste. If you can just let it sit until you have enough money to fix her up again.

                        A head gasket and a set of head bolts is $60-70. You don't have $70 to double the value of the car? Sterling Silver is a pretty hard car to find.

                          1250 Obo seems reasonable
