briancol 3 Report post Posted July 3, 2012 (edited) Which motor does it have? Vanos or not. It makes a difference. Auto or manual, and I don't believe it's a motorsport. With a blown head gasket, auto and non vanos,around $4-4,500.00 Edited July 3, 2012 by C0SM0S Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BM WORLD 1283 Report post Posted July 3, 2012 all 328i are vanos. about $1000-2000 there is one on tm now same problem http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=490547494 problem is could also be a cracked head , but untill you remove it you dont know . by the time you fix it up with another engine or repair it you are looking at $2-3k worth of repairs.

qube 3570 Report post Posted July 3, 2012 agree with brent, worth $2k max imo. without the engine problem would be worth around $4-5k... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
byza213 1 Report post Posted July 3, 2012 i think it has been removed and he rather not spend anymore money on fixing it he bought it for around 4-5 k thanks for the info guys , so maybe list it at 2k... if anyone's interested on here let me know ..but will be on trademe soon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deeveus 81 Report post Posted July 9, 2012 I have trouble getting 2.5k for a running one. Cant see you getting 2k for a f**ked one. $1000 for me, doing a gasket could open a can of worms & I have seen them for 2-3k - I wouldn't spend 2k on a rooted car myself.

Any car with a market value of <5k would have a max realistic worth of 1k with a buggered head. However going by the photos he'd possibly make back more $ by selling wheels, bumper, seats then scrapping the rest. Just my 5c Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shady 0 Report post Posted July 11, 2012 Dont need much room to part out? Just list an auction on Trademe saying ask for a part and only remove the part when its sold. Just park the car on the lawn out of the way. Once he has sold the main items as listed above (wheels, seats, bumpers), scrap it or tow to a wreckers and ask what they'll pay - maybe $500 half stripped.
