how much do i ask for on my car if i choose to sell it!
i would prefer to break it but i dont have the time or the space!
as ive said before i was going in for repairs but recent pay cuts cut that right out, and i need a reliable motor!
4 door 320i
problems
major smash in windscreen , (can get one)
manifold stud sheared off and slight damage to head (can get new head for 40)
usual rot in rear arches but not to bad!
one slightly balding tyre due to tracking.
other than that fairly tidy and still moves even with engine damage paint work isnt in too bad condition, has lowering springs although unsure how much by!
i paid 300 when it was sort of working! lmao
so how much could i realisticly get?????

TBH Mike - i wouldn't want to hurt your feelings with a price for the whole car - as you mentioned, she's worth more in bits than as whole - i'd guess you'd get close to what you payed for her in the first place if you take the Fragging option?
Sorry this isn't much help to you fella,
Neil.

hi, breaking our 320i touring without selling any body panels or the engine got us about 700
currently breaking our 318i as couldnt get £300 for it, current total about £400 in parts sold, with about £200 of parts on order and a load of bits on ebay probably gettin another 100.
sorry i'd break it if it was a financial thing, though it seems to take ages when you havent got time or much space and the neighbours are complaining!
do you have somewhere to store parts? time and pateience to do ebay listings?

put it on ebay! but really didnt give much effort in details or lists of problems just hoping to list it and see if there is any interest in the thing! if i start getting watchers or questions asked i`ll edit the listing into something a bit more "can be arsed"
