Title: what's a fair price?
Post by: e30sd on August 07, 2007, 10:37:53 PM

for the car in my sig?

'91 (march build date)
174k miles
alpineweiss II
0 accidents, all original body panels
gray cloth interior
16" SSR comps
IE3/Bilstein Sport
Bosch Euro H1 w/ 4500k HID
kirk 4 pt roll bar
recaro pole positiion
recaro speed
schroth hybrid-II 6pt harnesses (driver side)
Momo champion 350mm
euro plate filler
euro trim
cf grp a mirrors

also have a set of C3 coilovers, e30 m3 steering rack, and e30 m3 4.10 LSD waiting to go in.

the car has a few dings but overall the paint is in good condition. i change the oil every 3k, and keep up with the maintenance. it does have an oil leak from the pan, but i don't really drive it that much anymore.

so what could i get?

That would be a deal at $5500, but only to an E30M42 learned individual.  If thats what you decide to price it at, I may know an interested person in VA.

The roll bar will be a hindrance to sale for anyone but a fellow diehard M42 guy or a teenager whos willing to drive a grandpa looking car.

I dunno, I think the roll bar would be a plus, especially if it is only a bolt-in.

Rollbar tells the general public you beat the ever-lovin snot out of the car or it is a high powered track demon or flipping over is a danger on public roads, or you are "one of those punk kids".

Rollbar tells enthusiasts and E30 nuts you like your car and either took really good care of it because you are a car nut, or ou are another punk who buys random stuff for his car and never fixes the real problems with it.

I'm NOT passing judgement, just giving a realistic overview of what you'll be dealing with when you sell it.

I sold my Miata - full suspension work, I,H,E, lots of extras, great tuned condition, rollbar, dressed up interior to a cool chick who was looking for a new track car to put a turbo on...
But I had to suffer through a few knuckle-heads too.

I didn't think about this, but it is very true...
