e30ftw 400 Report post Posted May 16 Yeah I noticed the rear valance looks dinged up, or a bad rust repair job. Nice overspray on the tyre well underneath too.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rod_r 7 Report post Posted May 21 Genuine question. I’ve recently started looking for an e30 automatic. Would have preferred a coupe but I’m coming round to 4 doors. Not too bothered about 4 or 6 cylinders. Anything that doesn’t look like a basket case is north of 10k, and I genuinely feel like prices are high on the bottom spec models as they are being dragged up by the higher spec cars…..nothing seems to be selling, yet owners remain fixed on price. Today a 4 door 318i auto was listed for 12k, and to underscore what I’ve said, it appears it was purchased recently for nearly half that. How can you buy with confidence in this market?

Palazzo 450 Report post Posted May 21 There is a 316i coupe (white) with minor problems for $11k on FB. I get the idea the same thing has happened as you mention above, but if it’s straight, rust free and factory, I’d probably pay it on the basis I was holding it.

Eagle 1547 Report post Posted May 21 21 minutes ago, rod_r said: How can you buy with confidence in this market? Patience or just make an realistic offer. A certain percentage of sellers use a higher listing price to get near their actual wanting price, eg list for 20k to get haggled down to 15k, rather than just list it for 15k. Most asking prices are based on what the owner thinks its worth or wants for it rather than true market value. The market is still cooling off and prices are still dropping, you should see more realistic prices from owners who are serious about selling as time goes on.

Eagle 1547 Report post Posted May 30 Appears to have done a bit of a refresh on it which far ahead than what most re-selllers do. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bandit 192 Report post Posted June 5 (edited) Here it goes Rohan, including premium. So selling at a considerable loss, (after less than 12 months), the import / compliancing and restoration cost here in NZ was truly eye watering 😪 Over priced today in 2024. https://www.iconicauctioneers.com/1988-bmw-m3-e30-evo-ii-rec11496-1-silverston-0822 Edited June 5 by Bandit 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
