£1000-£1200 With the info above... But Colour, spec, general condition is a big factory... Without more details and pictures it would be hard to price it up! Does the seller have a price in mind?

There's no way on gods earth can anyone put a value on a few lines of description. It could be a minter, it could be a rusty shed!

Does it have cruise control, electric windows, sunroof, 13-button OBC, body kit, decent wheels, new tyres, service history, clean interior, no rust, shiny paint and no bolt-on bullsh!t extras?

Those sort of things can affect the price by a grand or so.

That's the key. Whenever someone says it I take it with a massive pinch of salt, but if it's true then the car is worth the better part of 1500. But I'd be on my hands and knees checking the front corners of the floorpan, and if there's rust there then it'll be elsewhere too, and worth half as much.

Alpina reps too :?

The key here for menus the no MOT bit. Why doesn't it have one and why won't he put it through an MoT?

I would be suspicious unless I knew the car 1st hand and pay significantly low price.

really ...as nice as any e30 can look as a "minter" that can only be told with carpets,rear door cards,boot carpet, out etc

and any"minter" isnt a minter if sellers trying to sell it with no mot for the sake of £40

Channel Islands cars get a lot of salt on them.

But also the place in the UK with the most sunshine

Bid him in the balls at £500 and then get some sort of reality check from the seller as to what he wants.

I'd go no more than £1500 for it unless the thing looks concourse

channel Island mileages often seem low, but the cars can get a lot more grief, so probably doubling or trebling would be a fair comparision to a mainland car
