318 i convertible.... lux. Value please

[lukescott]

I'm looking at a 1993 318 i lux convertible at the moment. It has leather and low (ish) miles. How do these models fair out price wise ? Its in good condition. The smaaler engine wont bother me as our road tax here in Ireland is cc related so the 318 engine is better. All help appreciated .

bodywork? SH? does the (electric) hood work ok? does the roof have any tears? is the rear window opaque?
which wheels/tyres good brand? Pictures?

2-3k GBP would be my guess, depending on what you call low miles...

I liked my 318 cabbie - the handling is better than / different from the 6-cyl models, and I got (overall) 32mpg even though I drive enthusiastically

As above - it's all down to condition/service history/wheels/mileage.
I searched for about a year before I got mine, and paid a bit more than the 2-3K GBP mentioned by orangecurry, I also had to do nearly 1000 mile round trip, but it was worth it

DOH ! It sold this morning for Ԛ£4000 stg. It had 56000 miles and was in great condition. And to make it worse ....another Irish guy bought it

Hmm... seems more like the right price, did you have any pics / info?

[orangecurry]

56k miles - that's very low
I still think 4k is a bit over the top, even for that mileage

but as we all know, a car is worth the price someone is willing to pay for it

If it was in really nice nick, then that's a fair price... shame you missed out, but they'll only get cheaper as the weather gets worse...

yeah remember 6k everyone lol

only if you bodge a Ԛ£50 EBaySchnitzer lump into it, fool.
