Can you tell me why?

Can someone explain to me why does an E30 M3 cost so much? The reason why I am asking is because I saw a Black 1989 M3 with 163K mi daily driver for sale, and the asking price was 12k. That price to me doesn't seem reasonable because all of the seats in the car are in bad condition, cracks throughout every sq in of the leather, the paint on both of the door edge has chips also there is a penny sized dent in the pass door. The windshield has damage and there was oil dripping from the the motor. Any other E30 in that condition would never be listed for such an exorbitant price.

B/c it is an M3. If you have to ask why, you don't understand the E30 M3. That price may be a bit on the high side for the condition you describe, but it is definitely in the ballpark. A engineless car (complete except the engine) is worth at least $5-6k alone.

I'd offer him $5-7k for the condition that you described.

Have you driven one? If not, go drive one. It may be similar to a normal E30, but they are very different.

+1 You have to drive one with an s14 and hear it at 7K RPMs :thumbup:
