DM1 · 03-25-2009, 05:09 PM

If I could,... I WOULD!!!!

However it's way overpriced,... would offer him half or less.

blue2fire · 03-25-2009, 05:16 PM

Wow, is that market value?

googoomas · 03-25-2009, 05:20 PM

no, this is not market value. this guy just thinks that his may be worth a lot more cause of the mileage. check out s14.net for more e30 M3 info and classifieds...

Thanks for the tip, he is asking nearly 3-4 times more than what others are selling for!

ptack · 03-25-2009, 05:30 PM

It's wishful thinking, especially in this market. Eventually this car could fetch a good price at auction, but there are too many still on the road and the collectors haven't moved to the 80s yet.

Spec 1 · 03-25-2009, 05:32 PM

Wow, severely overpriced! Most can be had for around $14-20k currently with lower mileage. He's probably banking (literally) on the fact it's only 7.2k miles. I doubt it will sell at that rate.

uberschnell · 03-25-2009, 05:39 PM

+ you can't drive it, the value is based on the mileage. 60K museum piece - that's about it.

Ender514 · 03-25-2009, 06:01 PM

wow, thats crazy. the car looks brand new.

he put the engine as an 8 cyl

nusevad · 03-25-2009, 09:11 PM

Its probably worth closer to 40K...and a true die-hard collector/enthusiast would pay that price.

JB135i · 03-26-2009, 07:21 AM

Should change it to a 20 year listing, maybe then he will get 60K.

Jaypod · 03-26-2009, 08:41 AM

"Reserve not Met"

ragingclue · 03-26-2009, 09:56 AM

I would price it at $30k-$35k. No more.

pmeloche · 03-26-2009, 10:00 PM

A similar E30 M3 with a bit more mileage could not sell for CAD $22K at my dealership in Montréal. "reserve never met"

SlickShift · 03-27-2009, 01:18 PM

Yeah, assuming that's a near-perfect low mileage example of an E30 M3, $30,000 is the most he'll get for it.

E90330iS · 03-27-2009, 01:47 PM

lol

BlackjackMulligan · 03-27-2009, 02:55 PM

He'd be better off going with a broker for a specialized car like that.....he may get lucky with a collector. He'll never sell that thing on ebay at that price.
