m325i 709 Report post Posted July 27, 2005 True, but alot of street e30s would have $1000+ worth of suspension, and you don't expect a return on that. Just seems expensive for a stock, stripped, caged e30 that is unregisterable, (couln't you score an unregisterable m3 for about that?), and has a HD clutch.

I wasn't trying to justify the price just highlighting that if it does have decent suspension it is worth paying for.$1000 buy's you good road suspension, which you can't expect a return on and would get you nowhere interms of race suspension. If you have spent the $$ on good race suspension that is tuned to the car then it is an investment in the car and some return would be expected. They could have easily spent over $21k getting the work done, but a car is not the place to try and re-coup what you have spent, esp. an E30, maybe if it were a classic then you may get a return from them?? Why isn't it registerable?? Looks like it has plates to me!?!?! It looks like a perfect car in good condition for a more affluent person to get into racing.

Sorry just assumed it was unregisterable as its a race car.But surely it is comparable to unregisterable cars, as they can be raced too. I think you could get beter value for a cheap racer.
