1991 325is for sale of Ebay? Questions? - United Bimmer Community

**jazzman877** · 09-12-2006, 07:39 PM

I'm looking at a black 1991 325is for sale on Ebay and was wondering what it might be worth. The car has a lot of work done to it and it looks like a real solid car. The price is $5000 right now and it ends this weekend, should I expect to pay this much or higher for a 325is in great condition like this one? I've been asking around and I"m looking for as much insight as I can get. Any help is appreciated. The car has 41K on the motor and is a 5 speed by the way. I'd post a link but I'm not sure if that is permitted on this forum, anyway let me know your thoughts.

Are you able to see the car in person? $5000 seems a bit too high even for a very clean good car. Links are fine here

i was gonna post this earlier. it looks excellent to me. however if the price gets much higher, i might pass up on it. but it is really nice.

looks good, but im sure if you looked around you could find something locally though

5000 is way too steep, i mean no matter how nice it is, its still a 1991 and lets face it, if you come to sell it your not going to get anywhere near 5K, besides you can get a much newer e36 for 5K

The car is very nice and in great shape and the 4.1 LSD has to make it a quick e30.

The Antenna doesn't work - points off
Torn Seat - points off
Craked Dash - points off

Its a nice e30 but its not worth $5100, for that much you should be able to find one without the faults listed above (torn seats and cracked dashes will be a common sight in a lot of e30s.)

^^^ thats true, those are common faults, but in no way effect driving performance. just annoying to see everyday, i know, i see it everyday

but any other E30 would have higher theoretical miles. this one has only 41k since the rebuild.

they say when you buy a car you buy the past owner and their maintenance. while $5100 is high for an E30, i love the damn things so much i am almost blinded by this nearly perfect example.

I am not selling this car but here is a copy of the carfax report, if you notice it says "325I AUTO/IS AUTO" so I do know what a VIN number is.....

I think that since there are not any bids on it if you want to buy it you should email the seller and offer a lower price. I would say $3500 and try to negotiate a price with them from there. But I would not get it with out seeing it first either so...
