Originally posted by danix View PostWhat would you say is fair market value for the following:- 1988 325i convertible
- automatic
- 97k miles
- 3 documented owners, full history known
- Extremely well maintained (by me). Recent timing belt, full Bilstein TC suspension, bushings, etc, a/c conversion.
- Good tan leather interior (with some flaws)
- Good paint (but it's Bronzit)
- New Vredstein tires on stock bottle caps
- Original glass everywhere
- New brown top ($1500)
- No dash cracks
- Working dash and trip computer
- Driven once a month to cars & coffee and once to Bimmerfest in LA. Like 3k miles in the last 5 years.
Needs:- front subframe replaced
- guibo/driveshaft
- PS is leaking (hose most likely)
- engine oil leak (pan gasket most likely)
I'm only considering selling it because I was dumb enough to buy an Alfa Romeo that needs my attention...
If it were't for the subframe issue I would have driven it to E30picnic.
Is it an $8k car? $5k car? It's really hard to read the market. From what I'm seeing, if it was blue or black and a stick, it would probably fetch $10k or more on BaT.
The big selling points (for me) are that it's a clean unmolested example.
Yes, I'll add pictures when I can and no this is not an ad, it's just a discussion.
Plus side would be mileage, new top (if installed properly). Color has an impact too.
From what you’ve said it sounds like a $6k car so far. Putting $2k into it could potentially make it a $8-9k car. May not be worth the effort to you though.I BUY/SELL REFURBISHED CM5907s & CM5908s
HOWTOs:
DB vert plastic bumpers
OEM Keys
MTech1 docs
88 ix Lach/Card
91 ic Calypso 3.1
86 Cosmo 2.7
OEM+ or bust!
reelizmpro: I will always be an e30 guy.. I still do all of my own labor
TrentW: There's just something so right about a well-built M20 in an E30
e30m3s54turbo: I save my money for tuner parts.
