How much should i offer?

[SAP1]

Hi i saw an E30 near my house and its a B reg moredoor and its been stood their for donkeys years. iirc i think it could be a 323 or a 325, how much is it worth?

[Grrrmachine]

It won't be a 325 if it's a B-reg. It won't be worth more than 500 quid considering it hasn't moved, but it might be a completely rotten turd - without pics, we have no idea.

[jmc330i]

Without any more info (does it run, can it move, is it rusty...) and pics, nobody can guess what its worth, but I'll start off with scrap value...

If you're going to make an offer, go in very low. The owner can only say no but at least you'll be talking and then you can find out what he thinks its worth. But, some deluded owners keep old crusty cars on their driveways for years because they think they're worth more than the Crown Jewels

Four doors are like pears , they are priced by the KG

Actually chuckling at that

A B-reg sixpot will be either a 320i (single exhaust tailpipe) or a 323i (twin exhaust tailpipes).

Both L-Jetronic.

The snag with cars that have been parked up for years is that almost everything (brakes, clutch, etc.) will be seized up. So, they can be rather expensive to recomission - factor that into any offer you make for it.

Blimey!

[jmc330i]

Makes my faded red 2dr look like its got fresh paint!

[Speedtouch]

Looks like a 323i, with the twin tailpipes.

[Grrrmachine]

How very appropriate that they parked it in front of the recycling bins

[Gavla]

Bit of T-Cut and that will polish up a treat, no...?

[magpie]

£200

[Andyboy]

As above. It's scrap, but at £200 there is a profit. I bought a 2 door C plater that looked just like that, a very early 325i with a slipper, Billies etc. If it's 320i or a323i, it's worthless. Well, 140 quid bridge money but next to nothing worth selling. 15 inch BBS are very hard work to sell unless mint with caps and good tyres.

[capnmchl]

That'll never go back on the road. However, apart from missing the end cap, the rear bumper appears to be in alright condition, and there may be a few morsels inside and on the front like foglights, OBC, carpet etc that might make you break even with the £200 magpie suggested.

Hey, I think you guys are all missing the Witter tow-bar!

[Gert_8]

I know the Witters.

[SAP1]

Witter tow bar whats that all about?

[Speedtouch]

pacerpete and B7 are the ones to ask about that.

[SAP1]

Oh right lol

Pete likes sitting on one. Rav told me he's seen him drag a car, backwards, 50 yards.



*edit*. Handbrake on!
