Afternoon everyone,
So a pal of mine just blew his auto trans on his 87 Alpine 325is. He wants to sell it to my buddy for 2.5k, however, it really needs a lot of work in order to get it DD worthy. The current owner is the 7th owner and it has roughly 250k on the motor (broken ODO) Attached is a note of everything that either needs to be replaced/fixed to bring the car up in value. What do you guys think is a reasonable price for it?

rad support . run!

Only Turde would pay $500 = scrap + e30 tax

That price was accounting for e30 tax. lol

what that turd-ple m3 is worth? :)

More money once I fix the paint. lol

the price to repair everything thats wrong + everything unknown is the price of another e30. So its scrap value imo. 350$ parts car. Unless the body is super straight then thats a different story.

^ This.

So I get my e34 back from the shop with a new fan clutch and radiator. It's in a shop in Apple Valley and I live in Pomona now so my mom's driving it down to me and we're switching cars (I'd borrowed their SUV). I wish I could have done all the repairs myself it would have saved my parents loads of $$ but college started yesterday and I had to have it fixed. =( Oh well from now it should be good to go before I have to fix something else major (knock on wood).

you doomed yourself with that post. Nothing worse than driving a car your unsure about.

I've replaced so much crap in the last week that I don't think anything else could break (knock on wood) and if it does I'm buying a freaking bike school is about 4 miles away from my house.

Small diameter MTechnic wheels are the best of all the worlds, smaller enough to make a difference in feel but don't take away from the interior like some aftermarket wheels. Personally love my MT2 370mm wheel.

Great suggestion, thanks.
Hmmm, should I swap the steering rack first, or get the steering wheel?

stupid auto trans is starting to go out wouldnt go into drive last night :hitler:

Got another one for $130 or 2 for $200, in good known working condition.

[mkcman17]

haha, but realistically what is a reasonable price on the car?

I would say $6-800 if the body panels are clean and to the right buyer. In the end it's still an early auto that doesn't run.

He should just part it. I need the driverside fender :)

[Luke Girard]

So I like the radiator mounts the shop fabricated over the stock plastic ones that always break!

Hey guys, I finally had a reason to take this car on the freeway again, and I just want to brag how stupid comfortable it is. This thing gliiiides at 70.

My parents refuse to have car payments. So do I and $3000 would have bought me a shit box Honda. That's what my dad said he'd buy me and I told him NO fuck Hondas.
