M42 Buyer's Guide / How much to offer, 1-owner e30 318is w 44k km??

Thanks for the feedback guys.  I've offered him around half of that but he is not budging.  The market will eventually let him know what it is worth.  I agree that it is not really worth collecting this car.  I want a good example to start with but I would like the money to make it a high performer.  And as soon as you start modifying it, I guess it loses its collector appeal.  

The e30 318is does seem to be really rare though.  Even searching in Europe using mobile.de, an e30 318is search gives about 4 hits while e30 m3 search gives about 15.  Most of the m3s are around 30k euro.

Cheers,
Willjams

Hi,

I found this e30 for sale.  He is asking $15k for it.  He is the only owner and has babied it, never saw a winter, basically a Sunday driver.  Only has 44,000km which is insane.  He kept everything original.  I'm very interested in this car but what should I offer him?  I think $15k is way over priced.

Thanks,
