Whats My E30 worth

[Fiona]

Hope this is the right section to post this in!

I was asked yesterday if I would sell my car, but Im not sure what its worth?

Heres the detail

F (89 ) plate 325i Sport with Hartge H26 engine conversion
M tech 2
Full Grey Leather
Koni Adjustables
Hartge Strut Brace
All usual Sport extras
Decat from factory
Decromed from factory ( not sure if this is standard on sports )

Full Service history - BMW up to 160k then last 2 services with local garage ( mileage now 171K )

Oil & filter just changed ( silkolene pro s)


MOTed till March 2007
Taxed till end september 2006











Bad points

rusty rear arches - not major but one worse than other, rust patch on boot(at rear ). front bumper scuffed on one edge ( car is very low ).

Little bits of laquar pealing on roof in places.

dash lights no working


she just needs a little tidy up!

Cheers

Fiona

No idea what it's worth, but it's a shame you have Hartage extras rather than the more desirable Hartge!

[Fiona]

Thanks anyway

[Simon]

I'd pay no more than 2k, high mileage and needs bodywork, with bodywork being the main problem, the car looks straight enough though, and with the righ work could make a nice car.

Cheers!

What would you get instead? You're already near the top of the E30 tree....
If you're thinking of leaving the fold then I guess you have options, but you don't want to do that now do you!

[Fiona]

Well me and me other half are building a house and it will be 30 miles to and from work every day!

think the fuel will be too expensive, was going to sell the E30 in a couple of months anyway ( but would have got new arches fitted ) and the rest tidyed up!

Will go back to and Astra GTE 16v proberly.......................if I can find a good one!

[Jhonno]

GTE 16v... i'd love one, but not to replace my e30 i dont reckon. good fun, but chassis isnt as good and the rust issues are 10x worse

will have one one day tho, already had a GSi

30 miles isnt all that far.. gallon a day if your sensible..

[Fiona]

I have had a gsi redtop as well, was no where near as good as my GTE 16v.

would get a gsi agian though if I cant find a GTE 16V.

[Fiona]

Any more ideas on value or do you all agree on 2K??

[bmwe30mtech]

Nice car, i would say 1500 - 2000. Purely due to high mileage, and the rust starting to arrive.. Maybe the top end of my estimate.

[Chris-W]

I'd agree with 2 grand.

[robmpulse]

I'd agree with 2 grand.

what is this in USD?

[bottlecapE30]

$3900 give or take
but i would bet in the US it would bring like $5500 or more
