E30 Zone

My step dad is looking at a dolphin grey 1989 318i auto with a genuine FSH 30,000 miles its like new inside and feels like a new car, he will be using it as a daily hacker too oh well it will still get looked after and no doubt i will buy it off him next year when he fancys a change

the guy wants £1700 is that about rite baring in mind its like new with a cream unmarked interior with bmw blaupunkt headunit

it has no rust and is in concurs condition

hopefully he can knock it down to £1500

oh and no i have no pics

To give you an idea, my mate on here bought a 318 lux, near enough mint for 1300 with 60k on the clock

End of the day, its how much someone is willing to pay for it.

I thought he was driving a Q7?

Exactly this. It's too a special car to give a ball park figure for, 30k FSH E30s don't come up everyday.

Personally I wouldn't spend 4 figures on it, but again, it's only worth what someone is willing to pay.[/quote]

How much did Josh Hocking pay for his bronze 318i?

And +1 On Blitz's question?

Also is it a two door??

thats my dad not my step dad

tbh i hate the word "step dad" but its the easiest way to describe it

yep 2 door

dolphin grey on bottle tops with beige interior with an auto box

Can't see the point of using it as a daily driver - why pay a premium for the low miles and then put loads of miles on it? Wouldn't a 70/80/90k miler be a better bet as it won't be so likely to have problems associated with lack of use?

I sold a rust free Luxorbeige 320i SE 4dr auto with 85k for £600 a few months ago as it was surplus to requirements - does the extremely low miles and a better colour make this 318i 3 times the car for daily use? I'm absolutely not saying the car isn't worth £1500 - it most definitely is to a concours geek, maybe more - I'm just saying it doesn't make sense to buy it just for daily transport when there are other more suitable and cheaper cars about.

Having said that, I can see the attraction of buying an as new e30 and just using it as intended - it's not as financially daft as buying a brand new car after all, and I've done that myself!

What a waste to daily..

after a hard think he has decided he would rather spend the money on a cheap e39 or e36 touring

he is tempted by a 540i e39 or a cheaper e30 touring

its a shame either way because the guy who owns it currently said he will only sell if the rite money comes along (1500-1700) but if we dont buy it he will end up keeping it, he has had the car 2 weeks and it shows signes that he smokes in it

One of these Sold though
