Market for M52 e30

[jessieparsons1]

Planning on selling my e30 in the coming months. Its currently dry stored in a workshop and needs to have an MOT on it and taxed to be road worthy.

Its basic spec is a 4 door 318 LUX, its had a few bits chucked at it, and by no means a show car but tidy and looks and operates nice.

Its had an M52 put in before I bought it which has never caused me a problem. Its also got some different front seats and uprated parts such as bushes, diff, suspension etc.

I bought it from this forum back in 2011 looking pretty tired and not really used, replaced loads of bits and planned (as everyone does) to make it better than the bat mobile, and haven't really done much with it since!

I have some idea of what I would really want for it but didn't want to advertise it at a price that is unreasonable. what would the experts say its worth in a realistic sense? Car would be sold with 12 months MOT, loads of spares. [/img]

A picture from photo bucket, might help you see what its like.

Can be difficult to price a modified car.

You could stick it on eBay with a 99p start and see what it goes for?

Looks quite nice from that pic.

Can't say with so little info and pictures but I have a similar car I wouldn't sell under £2k

The front seats look interesting, i like them

[jessieparsons1]

Cheers guys, would be happy at anything over 2k I think. Thanks for your advice maybe best to chuck on eBay with a good reserve and see what happens. Not keen on the eBay charges though.... See what happens once mot'd I guess and how much that costs (if any work to get it through).

Front seats are just a recaro I think from a ford? Not anything mega desirable but look good enough and work well!

If I can ever bring myself to sell mine, (very modified 2.7 touring), I'll stick it on ebay, either with a too high reserve, or a too high buy it now (high enough to cover fees over what I want out of it) - in the hope that anyone with a genuine interest would make contact, come and see the car, make an offer, etc - thus avoiding 'finishing' through ebay!!!

Looking at some that have 'sold' on ebay recently, you should get a decent price for it at the mo!!!

Those seats look like the recaro's I currently have in mine!!!

[jimbom30cab]

Yes, I would put a classified advert up and ask people to view the car and discuss the price in person.

Thanks again for all your help guys, good idea with the eBay add!
