Rare parts are they a future investment or not??

[kangman]

I recently had boards put down in the attic so its clean, spacious and there's no risk of falling through the ceiling.

Dealer prices are on the rise, parts are harder to come by and when they do pop up zone addicts snap them up instantly

So my question is, If they do pop up is it worth buying them and putting them aside. As they should only go up in value plus you may even need them in the future.

Parts such as tech1 spoilers, 370mm steering wheels, tech2 kits, uncracked dashes, mint chrome bumpers...

Or will they just begin to drop in value as more e30s are going to the mincer, so there will be less e30s on road meaning less potential buyers

[Kedge]

If you're hoping that they'll go the way of Ford prices, I doubt it. Plus there are already plenty of people doing things very similar.

Personally I think it's a waste, they should be on cars and in use, I prefer to get stuff sold and cash in my hand now. Only things I look to keep are things I think I might use myself in the future.

There used to be so many rare parts (Alpina, Hartge, RD, etc etc) knocking around at one point and they can't all have been left on cars and gone to the crusher, is suspect these are stuffed up people back passages.

I always keep my eyes out for panels, got a few odd bits knocking around. Me old mans always had classics and has always said its worth getting the genuine panels when they pop up. You never know. Touch wood I never need them

I have 3 Blaupunkt woodstock sqr88 units and matching amps.

I bought them to sell but I've grown attached to them

[Simon13]

agreed RE panels. I've got a few stashed, just in case, my car is head to toe in rareness i'd rather them all on it being used than in the garage on the racks so you brag about how much sh!te you have that isn't being used.

[Duke137]

Get it all sold and go down the pub

[spook]

Buy a tech 1. that will be worth ten bags in a year or so all day long


Yeah get rid and enjoy yourself

THIS

I cant be bothered stockpiling stuff in the hope that it might be worth a bit more in the future - rare bits are great but should be on cars not stuck in the loft/shed/bedroom/back passage

There's much better ways of investing your hard earned dollar than taking a punt on E30 bits.

[G-Bear]

Lofts arn't for car parts. Car parts should be on a car. Put your Christmas decorations up in the loft instead..

[kangman]

Well im thinking of buying some mtech2 bumpers and apron incase i have a small prang in the future, but if i come across some one willing to pay big bucks for them SOLD

[capnmchl]

Well then they'll probably end up sitting in your loft till you have a clear out or move.

It's a bit late to make loads of money.

I do wish I'd stockpiled bbs RS when you could pick up tidy sets for £150, or m3 engines for a grand, or even complete m3s when £4k would get a reasonably tidy and solid one.

Ah, the benefit of hindsight.

[magpie]

so we agree pacerpete's switched on then

[Duke137]

There is no doubt that pacerpete knows his turds (not in the same way Kos does)
