Considering a respray on my is to fix any small dents and minor blemishes... how much would a mint one be worth? It's got fsh, lsd, mtech 2, stainless exhaust and bbtb. Seats are mint although need to replace the dash. 2.5k?

I've seen them advertised for up to Ԛ£3.2K, but i reckon Ԛ£2.5K+ for a good one is about right. Yours is quite rare with the LSD & MTech II

it wasn't factory fitted lsd. Bought the car for 1700 and been quoted up to 1100 for a respray, just wondering how much would be gotten back. Car would essentially then be mint...

yeah, unfortunately for russ the timing chain let go at 160k so the top end was rebuilt at a not inconsiderable sum!

The problem with E30 prices is mileage, although we all know that mileage isn't a huge factor, 95% of all buyers will be put off by the mileage as Simon said! Stupid really as you could have changed every part on the car, and you would essentially be buying a better car than a 100k or less car, as this is the sort of mileage that a lot of things will need changing.

You should be able to get Ԛ£2-2.5k for a mint iS Dom, but like has already been said you need to convince the buyer that the mileage isn't such an issue.
As long as you can prove the right work has been done knowledgable buyers shouldn't be put off.
Still like to think i might get Ԛ£2k for mine if and when i come to sell it. Good return on the Ԛ£5k+ invested so far!
