crazyarab 6 Report post Posted July 23, 2009 (edited) Not exactly on TradeMe but you get the idea. After searching high and low for the perfect E30, the following example is the best I have come across. If he would budge on the price I would have bought it off him ages ago but I feel he is asking a bit much. Was hoping to get a better idea of what you guys think this is worth. Details: Manual NZ New 240,000 km Hounds tooth interior, no rips. Full service history & immacculately maintained by BMW fanatic (enthusiast would be an understatement) Could use a fresh coat of paint but still in very good nick Lachssliber-metalic Edited July 23, 2009 by crazyarab Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark 178 Report post Posted July 23, 2009 Is this the one in Dunners Atta? Looks purty! If it's had the works done to it I wouldn't scoff at paying a bit more. Especially if the major stuff like engine work has been taken care of. Ask me how I know. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M3 Cab 0 Report post Posted July 23, 2009 If its well looked after & given it's a good colour I would have thought a minimum of $12k. What's he asking for it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
3 SERIES 93 Report post Posted July 23, 2009 Wow! What an example. Do want. Judging by the two dogs on trade me atm that are 10k asking id say its worth a lot more than that. Mind you they havnt sold! Was the car for sale or did you just approach him? If it wasnt for sale he may only sell for crazy coin. Common Atta, tell us how much he's asking?

Common Atta, tell us how much he's asking? Was tipped off by the mechanics who did a pre-purchase inspection for me. I did not really take the TradeMe examples seriously as I think they are dreaming especially considering their condition. I know what Tech-I's are selling for, but I have never seen a Tech-II sell recently (probably because they are so rare) hence my reluctance. Judging from what has been said so far, the man is asking for a very reasonable price "9k and not a penny less". But as I mentioned the car is not faultless. It could really use a fresh coat of paint all around and some cosmetic work here and there. The big plus is that the engine is solid as a rock form what I hear. Hmmm Edited July 23, 2009 by crazyarab Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mark 178 Report post Posted July 23, 2009 Do it. If the engine is solid and the body is rust free then $9k is a good price.. Worked out how much mine has cost me so far and I'm pushing $11k, and it's no Tech II. Go on, do it and give those Alpina's a home! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

M3 Cab 0 Report post Posted July 23, 2009 $9k is cheap. I paid $8500 for mine 4 years ago which needed a lot of work even though it had only done 130ks. You'd be mad not to buy it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CamB 48 Report post Posted July 23, 2009 I agree. If I was in the market I'd buy that in a heartbeat at 9k as long as no material shortcomings (means rust). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SIR E30 68 Report post Posted July 23, 2009 NZ New tech2!! 9k!! Do it! thats a great price.. and if it all turns to sh*t you can always sell it again for exactly what it owes you/a wee bit more Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CamB 48 Report post Posted July 23, 2009 How bad is the paint? It looks fine in the pics, but the internet is notorious for lying about paint condition? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crazyarab 6 Report post Posted July 23, 2009 (edited) How bad is the paint? It looks fine in the pics, but the internet is notorious for lying about paint condition? Paint is mint (no fading/bubbling etc) but nearly every panel has some form of a slight ding/scratch in it, and the front is stone chipped as usual. Rust free apart from the sun roof where I noticed a bit of bubbling, it's confined to the actual sun roof not the car body so worst case I have to replace the sun roof bit only. Hell Henry probably has a spare one for me Edited July 23, 2009 by crazyarab Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CamB 48 Report post Posted July 23, 2009 Paint is mint (no fading/bubbling etc) IMHO, you most definitely cannot expect more at that price given the apparent condition of the rest of the car. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
