I have just started to lust after these cars once again!
Sold my previous one 2 years back and she was beautiful! I bought the car off a retired fireman who had lovingly restored her over a few years and still is one of the cleanest I have seen since (not that you see one every day!)
I am now looking at these cars and seeing the prices of certian models rocket! I mean a good 325i sport with very good bodywork and nice interior is fetching well over £10k?!
I have actually viewed a couple sub 8k cars described as very good but these needed rust repairs and some engine work!
So, it seems that a very good car, in very good condition, i.e no rust in the usual areas with very well kept interior and good engine is looking £10 000+...
I really should have held on to mine as I sold it for just over £5k end of December 2013.
Do I wait for an unmolested mint example - I have not yet seen one over the past couple of months.
Or do I buy a very well restored car - obviously one that has been well inspected and work documented.
It seems the unmolested, unpainted, low mileage, low keeper cars with every bit of paperwork are now rediculous in value, probably twice as much as other 'very good' examples and reserved for collectors
