What would you pay? (1987 BMW 325es E30)

Please name 2 prices:

a) What you think is the fair market price for both parties. Not a steal, but not ripped off either.

b) The highest possible "Can't refuse price". No brainer. A steal at this price. Buy it now without a PPI, b/c at this price it will be sold within 2 days.

sounds pretty nice. the price all depends on ur area. do some research and see whats out there. i had my last car stolen and i was looking for a e30, and around here its real slim pickins for these cars.

where im at, he could ask around 4k and probably get it, but who knows. just feel him out, and a price will come to you. shoot him 2500 and see how he reacts... thats what i would do, just for ****s and gigs.

fair price, assuming the body is dent free and paint is good .. $2600. that would be the most i'd pay and even then, as a buyer, i wouldnt feel great about it.

cant refuse price, assuming the above is still correct .. $1000

maintenance items don't raise value unless the car is fully restored and the "mods" done are cheap, so they arent going to jack the price either. it's an early model and on top of that an E, so its nothing valuable to start with. the next person will be the third owner which is getting into the area where the number of owners stops to matter.


sounds like you're the seller not the buyer of this car, so list it for $3500 OBO and see what people offer. anything above my top number and you made out good.
