Note to self; check house contents insurance covers car parts in garage! Usually speaking, there is only a "generic car parts cover" with a total of $2000 on a contents policy unless specifically agreed with your insurance company.... ask me how we know, our garage burnt down 8 years ago pays to make a phone call and find out 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gjm 3258 Report post Posted August 16, 2021 Just seen a 1989 316i factory manual. Does look very clean and tidy. $15k. At this rate we'll have to sell the Baur. can't justify having that much money tied up in a car when we're planning to sort permanent housing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I got turned down as they didn’t want to ship to Auckland. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

E30 325i Rag-Top 2956 Report post Posted August 16, 2021 Makes this one seem like a good purchase then, someone hit the "Buy Now" for $1,300 within a day of it being listed. No engine, no gearbox, interior was all there but there was mention of rust but weren't specific photos of where / how bad it was. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Bronzit 2 door does look very nice, but $15k is certainly pushing it for a 316i - this has been sitting around at $13,500 for a few months (may have sold looking at the unanswered questions) as clean, probably cleaner and in Alpineweiss II with grey interior as well. https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/listing/3145204342?bof=ngFPe7Zq Wonder what a clean facelift 325i manual 2 door in a good colour is going to cost me 😮 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ghost Chip 188 Report post Posted August 16, 2021 (edited) Pretty sure a few months back there was a red 316i coupe that sold for 18k on trademe so 15k seems like a bargain 🤭. @Sammo please buy Graham’s one. I want to see it in Auckland! Edited August 16, 2021 by Ghost Chip 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
