just a quick one to test the water and any feedback will be appreciated. I have a 325i sport that i`m gonna sell, its currently on SORN with no mot. The car failed on a washer jet and inner sill needs welding as corrosion is too close to the seat belt anchorage and thats it. Its been a great car but its time for someone else to enjoy and love it so was just putting the feelers out to see how the market is just now and what i should advertise it for.
I want the car to go to a good enthusiasts home so would be good to see what you guys here think.
A few details then, H plate 325i sport in granite silver with black leather, 17inch alpina style wheels on sat on Eibach springs other than that its a standard car. Its not a trailer queen so does have some chips and scratches as it was my daily driver and i did over 30,000 miles in it with no troubles at all and its a tidy car with the prospect of being even better with a little work and as you all know its only gonna appreciate in value.
Anyway thats that so any feedback so i can get this car advertised at the right price would be greatly apprecited.

Cheers peeps.

only you can value it as you are the only one who has seen it, it sounds like a breaker

even sports in a very sorry state seem to make a bag of sand on ebay.

Sounds like the is sill is rusted away and this suggest more rust elsewhere, floor and bulkhead maybe? Have you had the kit off to inspect how bad it all is?

Stating the obvious really, but any item is worth as much as a buyer is willing to pay.

No pictures + mention of rust = scrap value. That simple.

If you want a decent valuation you need to post some pics so that we know the car is what you say it is.
