e30 325 sport price check

[moggie]

Hi guys,i have the chance to buy an e30 325 sport in black with full service history solid car with 91000 miles paintwork is good. For £4200 also has full mot is this about the right price for a good sport.thanks.

Depends completely on how much rust the car has.

And it will have some!

[lyricalnut02]

thats a high price if the car has rust. If the car has minimal no rust then its ok, but i would want proof before forking out 4 bags plus. Is it a tech1 or 2?

[moggie]

Car is a tech 2 all the rust has been done and has been fully undersealed,stainless steal manifolds,full stainless system,full black leather in good condition no dash cracks its a genuine straight car with all receipts of work thats been carried out and it drives very straight

[polsta]

have you checked it out ? where is it located, before spending 4 bags you may want to get it looked over by someone on here who can offer a service depending on location

fully undersealed, with what ?

have a look at this

In my opinion if its had the front pads done then the cancer will be elsewhere.

Did you pull the rear door cards and look at the inner arches?

You could keep saving and buy mine in a couple of months

I dont know it personally but I'm sure someone on here might. £4,200 is strong money but if its virtually rust free then it's about right.

I would be checking that the mileage is genuine first off and a quick check with BMW to see if its a genuine sport. If that's all good go over it with a fine tooth comb and if its still all good then get it bought if that's the colour etc... Your looking for.

[polsta]

id be checking the milage, he says have old mots - ring and ask if it has 100% every single one fully backing up the milage, or if it has the chunk missing where it was clocked back, buit has the original bill of sale etc, if its solid and every mot and true milage, could be ok

he goes on about no aftermarket stuff etc, then hes smoked the lights , them tacky numberplate things, a tacky "m tech" ebay special strut brace by the look of it, looks like streched tyres, but ask what wheels are comming with it as he says hes removing them

them leathers look like they may have done more than 91k ?

and hes got £5495 asking price on there

[moggie]

yes originally it was up for that then on ebay for 4995,it comes with original bbs has original bill of sale ,every mot service book,3 owners from new lots of receipts sport on log book

A Midlands sport being sold by somebody called Rav, who spouts a load of bollox in his ad.

Tread carefully, but run very fast in the opposite direction at the first sign of anything being not right.

If you're buying this car without paying somebody who knows what they're talking about to do a full inspection then you're asking for trouble IMO.

[moggie]

imo

^^^In My Opinon....^^^

anyway, if youve had it checked out, and all the usual spots are good with no rust, and its a genuine sport with full history, get it bought....

but if hes had repairs before, you will need to question, whether someone has done a good enough job or not, if not then itll cost you more to get it done again...

but if everything seems right in your head, go ahead and buy it...

[Meatballs82]

I spent 4K on a rust free sport once

[J4CK05EE30]

^^^ ^^^ and you got a build thread to show the proof

[polsta]

I spent 4K on a rust free sport once

show him the thread !!

im not sure i could hand over 4-5k for a sport, unless it was from someone on here you knew was a goodun and backed up by an extensive thread covering everything

[moggie]

the car in question has failed mot due to excessive corrosion rear outer sill suspension mounting point and few advisory's brakes etc so i think il give it a miss so if anyone on here would be kind enough to sell me there sport it would be much appreciated

[moggie]

Dont suppose anyone on here lives in ireland and can go check a sport for me

[J4CK05EE30]

did you get this done, or the owner?

[moggie]

owner, he took it for mot before i went to pick it up

[kieran325]

I think I paid just short of 9k for mine.

[moggie]

I had a 325 se with an e36 m3 evo engine and box which i converted myself but sadly had to sell last year when buying a bigger house [what a car]so need another quick or my winter project to get it mint for summer will be a summer project
