How Much is My 316 Worth

[Alex]

Does anyone know how much my car is worth as i might sell it in the near future for a facelift model coz im kinda going of all chrome, it kinda remidnds me of an old persons car lol

Its done 160,000 miles
immaculate leather seats
full profesional refurbed bottle tops dunno why i bothered probly coz they were done for free
rear arches a bit scabby
cars basically immaculate

[maxfield]

I's say around £700-£900 as it looks very clean!

[eko]

£800 sounds about right to me

[Alex]

yer it is but i think it looks kinda like an OAP's car ive just insured it aswell

[maxfield]

All E30's look old now day and age.

That's what makes them special.

[Rosc0PColtrane]

That is a very clean example.

[Alex]

If i can find a 318is cheap enough i might get one of them it will only increase it by 100 quid or so

[mattyb240]

That's what makes them special.

Lol um yes?...My gf begs to differ on that, I would love you to convince her of that

If its a tidy as it looks why not use it as a good base car and start tweeking it to get it more like an e30 you would want to drive? Does look tidy Alex

i keep thinkin that too but it will need new arches sooner or later coz up close there pretty shite

[Alex]

is anyone good at photoshop and photoshop some alpina reps on it, ive got some bbs to go on but they are quite rough

She's female. Enough said.

If it was mine it would be on its arse with some deepdish rims

[maxfield]

Please don't put 'Pina reps on

[Alex]

not sure about deep dish but if i keep it then it will get lowered so it does not look like a grannys shoppin trolly lol

[spook]

As Eko said drop it with some deep dish rims, and get those arches sorted,

[stevotheevo]

is it just me (had a few beers) or does it look like its had a hilux conversion ?.

sell it get a 318is

[Alex]

yer it does kinda sit high and the thick tires dont help

[grantfk10]

Please don't put 'Pina reps on

Why not, Max?

[maxfield]

Because they are the height of council. (rich coming from me, I know)

It's a nice subtle car. BK's would ruin it IMO.

[stevotheevo]

Please don't put 'Pina reps on

Why not, Max?

i do like pina's, but imo wont look too good on this car.

[darkchild]

That is a hard car to value. Yes its a tidy early chromer but will always be hampered by being an undesirable thirsty and slow carb 316. A model that nobody particularly wants and subsequently struggle to sell. Harsh but true I'm afraid.

If you want rid, a really good ebay advert with a load of decent pictures is probably your best bet.

Decent early E30's are getting less by the week though so fix the arches and get a couple of years rwd experience in a modestly powered E30 before moving up the bhp ladder. Early chromers have a retro appeal thats lacking in the facelift cars IMO.

[LeonNewton]

its a pritey clean looking car. should be able to sell for 7/800 without to mutch bother. and yer get a 318is. or keep wot you have ignore the lass and have fun lurning the balance of rwd.

[Alex]

when i baught it it cost me 300 quid

After thinking about it i may have changed my mind about deep dish

some borbet A's would look

[daveyboy20]

Sorry to tell you this mate but its not worth as much as these guys are saying it is! My B reg looks exactly the same as yours but its a 320i and I've been struggling like mad to sell it. New cambelt, waterpump, fanbelt, gaskets etc.. and only 112 thousand miles, originally had it up for £800 ended up dropping right down to £500 and still with loads of tax and MOT no-one wanted it. Had it advertised on every free car sales site and forum I could think of as well. On ebay at the moment and looks like it will sell for bugger all on Saturday! Sorry dude. Nice car, may as well keep hold of it though as it is worth not a lot!!

is it this one i think you have had it advertised on here^^^

Nice looking car but judgine by the pics its not as clean as me 316 i think it would benifit you getting the wheels refurbed ive had mine powder coated in a modern silver colour and it sets the whole car of alot better it makes all the difference, i only had to pay for new center badges lol

the only place i have rust is the arches and a tiny spot on the bonet amazing considering the mileage its got new bumpers front and back so there not rusty either

but its only a 316 as mentioned above

[daveyboy20]

Yeah, fair play but Ive taken photos of every single last blemish on the whole car to avoid none payers, I bet if i brought my camera to yours I could do the same thing! Its only the back bumper that lets it down aesthetically and even then its only that bit of it. It seems pretty much on a par and its pretty low mileage - I reckon you'd have similar troubles as me if you tried to sell it. If I were you I'd keep hold of yours and not feel guilty bout modifying a good condition early one (like i was made to!) as it aint worth much! Lower it, bang on some tasty alloys, nice exhaust and filter and tidy up the rusty bits. The 1.6 will keep the cost down so jobs a goodun. Main reason I wanted to sell mine was fuel economy. Anyway, like I said, nice E30! Not tryin to piss on your bonfire buddy!!

Good luck selling chromeys - my last '87 E30 320iSE 2-door, despite looking stunning in Lachs silver with new exhaust, full MOT, all electrics working, etc. was hard work selling and I eventually found a buyer at £600.

The M10 is a great basis for tuning

i think i will end up keeping it but i will do some mods

someone suggested some deep dish at first i thought no way but after thinking i think i thought some borbet a's would look cool

it will be gettin lowered

and might get a snazy carb airfilter

ive just fitted some clear front indicators and just baught some clear side repeters

[Andyboy]

Put it on Ebay and add 'will export to Ireland' on the desciption. The Paddies love a clean 4 cyl two door. make it clear that you'll pick up an Irish buyer from a nearby airport - I'm sure Ryan air does Dublin-Newcastle.
