Should get between Ԛ£450-600 IF you advertise it well.

I sold my 87 318i for Ԛ£360, but the body work was in worse condition, days tax, no MOT and no Alloys! Did have IS front suspension/brakes, m-tech 1 kit and 120 000.

i really cant put a value on this. possibly because there isnt a value.

i say remove anything of valueand put on ebay. im thinking wheels, and interior parts, kit.

then weigh in.

then send tax disc back to the dvla

you will get a far much more cash for the sum of parts on ebay than you would trying to sell the car.

My mate had one just like this back in the day, with 16" Momo wheels, being 18 at the time he was the Don.

I personally like the look of it, for senimental value.

However, it is only a few hundred quid in real terms. Quite a few (not too many) miles on a four pot, and the harsh reality is you rarely increase the value of your car with mods.

However, as Gwynley points out, get some good photos, write a decent advert and it'll better your chances.

12mths mot and tax on it (Ԛ£400 tops),
How can it be only worth Ԛ£400 tops if I managed to sell one very similar with NO MOT and a couple of days worth of tax for Ԛ£365

Look!

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 4584156863

Proof! and the buyer came and got it... think he has been around on the zone/planet a bit.

Its all in the advert.

Probably still worth more in bits though, but its way more hassel. I did that one advert, had a few questions but nobody came a looked at it, buyer came the weekend after the sale ended and gave me cash Job done!

Oh and i took the pics with my mobile....

Advert did cost Ԛ£30 in the end mind
