I picked up this 318 (my first e30) in jan it was mot to july with no tax it was also a dusty white/pink with graffiti finger marks on. Six mths tax a couple of wings and some welding of front corner footwells later and im thinking about renew mot n tax and selling it to get a two door but dont know if its worth spending any more money on it.
Any feedback is much appreciated, cheers ian

needs a rear spring for mot dunno about any suspension bushes.ed325i wrote:What needs doing to get an mot ?
Its only worth £500 max
Sounds easy enough a standard spring should be about £5 and only take about 20 minutes to fit.. With an MOT It'll be a whole lot easier to sell and ultimately more valuable I guess.

No offence to op but if it fetches 500 notes with 12 months mot i'd be surprised, can pick up a decent enough 320 (4 door) for that money. Only my opinion like.
This may be true, but a 320 gives shocking mpg for the performance.. and the weight at the front (sorry I'm just not a 320 fanJohnnyThunders wrote:No offence to op but if it fetches 500 notes with 12 months mot i'd be surprised, can pick up a decent enough 320 (4 door) for that money.

put the spring on and sell it straight away with the full ticket on it...
any car with the full 12 months is worth a few hundred immediately...

cheers guys, i know its hardly a desirable model but it seems a shame to scrap it so if i mot it it will owe me about £300 and as said any motor with a yrs ticket has got to be worth atleast that. Then all i need to do is find a 2 door 325 for the same money, lol.

they are about but will need work for that budget and if you are ok with a 4 door then you will have a better chance...
