autotrader e30's

[Kam320i_cab]

I was having a scoot on autotrader.co.uk to see what e30 cabs are going for these days and i was shocked! i saw cars with same spec as mine going for Ԛ£4000+!!! WTF!?!? is this correct or do i need glasses

some one explain, please!

Dunno I've seen 320i cabs going for Ԛ£2k
Guess it depends on spec/condition

[Lizzie]

I know that the 320i convertible is not as desirable as the 325i convertible and hence will demand a greater price, but it is also that BMW have introduced 2 later convertible models, ie, E36 and E46 and this brings the price down on all convertibles.

Again, as Lordschleife says it also depends greatly on specification and condition.. When I bought my car in 1998 it was in pristine condition and had done 70,000 on the clock and was Ԛ£10, 495 - now I don't think it would go for much more than Ԛ£3.5 - 4K. Although I am still enjoying her and at 96,300 miles, she has still got low mileage!! You can tell that she doesn't go out much from the mileage over the years!!

well mine has a mint interior 93k and loadsa history, the exterior aint tatty its actually still fresh and engine is doing what BMW made it to do

i have rear discs and a cat, manual roof and the interior is black with the light colourd checks

aparently granitesilber is fairly rare especially on cabs and a 320i is cheaper to run than a 325

on autotrader theres same car as mine but in red going for Ԛ£4000

320's aren't cheaper to run! granite silver was a special order colour in 91

[Lordschleife]

Yeah as Si says 320's drink the same as a 325 and i'd think a 325 is always going to demand more due to the extra power

However if I was going to buy a topless e30 I would be tempted by the 320

1) less power = less likey to kill myself and hell they're for cruisin lookin gooooood in anyway

2) the sound! 320>325!

well my car and cruising go together! it aint the fastest car on the roads but still it pulls much much more after3500rpm which i like
