eliongater 718 Report post Posted June 16, 2017 no, just no. I can think of much better things to spend $14k (or even half that...). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TermiPeteNZ 1318 Report post Posted June 17, 2017 Well written piece and there is some merit to the vehicle and full service history - but the wheels and lowering are Seems raaaather pricey ... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Young Thrash Driver 1020 Report post Posted June 17, 2017 If the car has been parked up as long as he says it has been, it's current state would have been at Peak Cool back then. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mark247 39 Report post Posted June 17, 2017 Good god it is depressing what e30s go for these days.. It feels like yesterday you could pick up a tidy 325i manual lsd recaros etc for easily under $4k. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd definitely rather have a 335i over that e30. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gjm 3258 Report post Posted June 23, 2017 Silly money. The 'appreciating asset' card is played, but then there are mention of 'imperfections'. And has been said - parked up for an extended period is going to mean that while it may seem OK now, there will be work needed in the near future. Not $14k. Not even $10k. Even allowing for E30 tax, maybe $6k, tops? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Allanw 1071 Report post Posted June 24, 2017 I think the REALLY nice ones are desired by certain people, and some of them will pay good money. 18 months ago, I got $8K for Dads 4 door Manual 325i SE, from the second caller (the first was a time wasting knob). I think I could have held out for more, but the purchaser was "suitable" to Dad (another old bloke), and Dad already had a replacement car. A few months earlier, another manual 325i SE (with an ///M badge!) sold for just over $10K. This car isn't a patch on Dads, and his wasn't immaculate but very, very tidy. This guy is talking about "rough around the edges" cars... his is one. The wheels, exhaust, dash and seat are real let downs, and appears to be a non- AC model, based on the front valance. As far as E30's go, it really looks to be a good one, but it's not up there with the best survivors. I'm not sure that coupes are worth particularly more either??? unless motorsport. Graeme is probably right - $6K and everybody would be talking about how easy it is to change the wheels and make a good car of it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
