Car price question

[dtmcnamara]

I know I know...WRONG SECTION but i need a quick response so listen up


Looking at a 94 BMW 325i converted to a m3. motor/tranny swap, chipped, full exhaust, billstein shocks, seibon CF hood, reiger front and rear bumpers, 18" staggered rims, m3 brakes. 150K on the chassis, 86K on the motor and tranny. whats it worth?

a m3 with 86K is like $10.2 and with 150k is like $9.xx
and a 325i with 86K is like $5.xx and with 150K is like $4.3

figured I would average the two and get something like $6,750-$7,500

Would you not figure the same also?

I think 8 probably seems about right

lowball him... tell him you got 2000$ cash in hand... and he'll be like no man i want 8000$

then be like alright fine I'll give you $2150 if you clean it up and fill the tank before signing it over... then he'll be like nahh man i can't take any less than 6k...my mom just had a surgery, etc and i'm broke.

then be like you drive a hard bargain offer 2200 cash right now or you're walking

he'll be like Dude unless you got 5500 cash right now i wont sell it, i gotta pay child support

then be like deal... and do what most of IA does... just flake on him lol... just walk away knowing you won that battle... pwnt his pride... whenever you see him in the streets just be like, "you ever sell that 5k m3, noob?" then urinate on his liver after you rip it out and masturbate with it.

honestly, I would say closer to 6500, just because of the age old saying "car's arent investments, you'll never get out what you put in"

[dtmcnamara]

i was going to say $6000 first and then go from there....just wanted to see what everyone said, he wants $7500

[DieselNuts]

I think you are thinking right.

[Thighs]

7500 sounds like a deal. pics?

is it a clean conversion? nothing left undone, etc? a REAL m3 goes for around 10, so 7500 for a clean job sounds pretty good...

[dtmcnamara]

real clean...vader bucket leather seats, i can get pics tomorrow. i think i will bring it to AUTO FAB tomorrow and get it checked out
