Sorry to ask a silly question but I value the opinions on here and know I'll get an honest answer. I don't really want to sell her, but have too many things going on to keep her (I need a van for my new business). I'll post a few pics so you can have a squint at her. She's a '93 316i touring lux in Laguna green. She's used every day and has never let me down. She is completely OG, even down to having the under and over car mats. I'm having a new rack fitted as the one on her is leaking, and the drivers seat is of course shredded. (I use a seat cover.) I also have the original stereo somewhere....
Thanks in advance guys.

- MOT
- Tax?
- Milage
- Rust?
- Known faults?

Sorry yes has 4 months tax and test (I think). 141k no faults except the rack (which I am getting sorted next week.) Small amount of rust on rear valence. none on arches etc.

Looks tidy & well looked after by the sound of it but they arnt all that desirable I'm afraid, probably around £500 as said and a good car for the money.

I'd say about £750 which is what most seem be about.

A local zoner Shaun had a tidy 316i touring for sale for ages, think he only ended up with about 500 notes.
Yours does look very nice so I'd ask about 750 quid and see what happens.

Thanks for the opinions guys. I think i'll stick her on flea bay and see what happens. Need to get rid after all, and I didn't pay a lot for her. I'll start at about 500 and see if she flies!!

Would be a real pity to let it go for £500 as it looks so clean. What about sourcing a drivers seat and trying for a bit more or keep it?? It is one of the last ones!

£500 is BS for a car that clean.
£750+ easy. Put an E36 rack in whilst you're at it (quicker) as it's the same amount of work almost.
It's actually a bad idea to ask for pricing on here most times as most E30 owners are super tight and want the earth for nothing.

Yeah and some of you need to be a bit more realistic and live in the real world imo if priced at £750 it wont sell £500 and it will be gone straight away pearsonaly every E30 i have bought has been less than £400 and my touring i have now only cost £100 and that was quite clean.

Hmm. Might just retrim all the inside with tan leather and swap engine for a Diesel or 1.8i. Might be a flyer. Could use it as a rolling advert for my leather business....

LOL. Just seen this on ebay...... Now that is over ambitious...
