Put it on e-bay for 10 days, 99p starting bid, and let the market dictate the value.

ebays good if you want to shift something quick and arent to fussed about the price but crap if you want decent money as everyone wants it for nothing

I wouldn't hope for too much, any history?

The drivers seat and the shocking rear panel are a major put off for anyone looking for a 'mint' car.

yer true im interested to see how much i get 4 it ive set a reserve of 750 is that resonable i payed over 850 for it but it did have tax on it jus ran out

[fuzzy]

the seats are very worn for such a low mileage unless the previous owners just liked to sit in it without driving anywhere.is that a hole in the rear panel behind the wheel?tbh i think Ԛ£750 might be a bit high as its not really 'mint'

[ed325i]

Ԛ£250 to Ԛ£300 if it was a 325 you could get Ԛ£500 for it.
But good luck with the sale.

[Simon]

I wouldn't pay Ԛ£750 for it personally, if it was actually mint, with full history, and all 18 MOT certificates to back up the mileage, then maybe it would be worth it for a collector.

Plus, early E30's are never worth much anyway, unless exceptionally good condition, or a rare model.

[kuk-grant]

thanks for all the advice ill change the reserve down to 600 thats a bit more like it and it has 8 old mots from last 8 years detailing the mileage has been jus approx 2000 a year

[nwmlarge]

i paid Ԛ£170 for a cleaner model than that to be honest fella
i wish you luck with the sae though

[kuk-grant]

thanks for all your help im feelin bit mugged off now i mite jus drift it into the ground now

[ed325i]

Why are you selling it ?

[FBF]

dont be offended and i could be wrong, but i would take one look at that car and expect to find a sticker on the back of the speedo that reads: "oh no not again" maybe its had a new speedo before you bought it etc etc but there no way that seat has only done 50,000 miles.. i would think without proof most people would think the same

[dobbie82]

the seat looks a bit poorly but to be fair the rest of the car looks very tidy indeed, perhaps a previous owner used to leave his dog in the car on his weekly run to the shops, and it decided to scratch/eat the chair.

My 1987 318i has only 54k on it with old MOTs and the drivers seat is worn on the bolster, my 1991 318i has done 156k and the interior is still in excellent condition! a worn seat doesnt mean a clocked car, depends what has been in it!

[ed325i]

My 323 has 75k and needed a new seat. depends what they have been doing on the seat.
