Hello all,
My stepson was owed some money by a room mate and instead of cash the room mate gave him his 2003 325I that needs some work. I was hoping to get an approximate value on the car and what better place to come than this site. Its a 2003 325I with 146K on the clock. Its a 5 speed and the interior is in ok shape. It needs a driver seat cover and a shifter boot otherwise the interior is good. The front of the car needs some straightening after a minor front end tap which took out the hood. The upper radiator support will need to be replaced also and some plastic parts on the front of the car. The engine is running on 3 cylinders. We did a compression test and determined that the head will need some work. Cylinder 1 has 0 compression, cylinder 2 has 50 lbs and cylinder 6 has 0. It runs, but not well. Also, before the hood was damaged, the car ran and drove and then the compression issue/ burned valves developed afterwards. What is a car like this worth? He is not in love with the car so I'm wondering what its worth so we can make some decisions. Attached are a few pics of the car.
Thanks
Bob
