How to value?

[E36GUY]

Mods - please bear with me. This is not a general 'what's my car worth?' post as it's not quite that straightforward.

for insurance purposes, I'm trying to get a rough value of my car now it has been rebuilt but with all the extras it's no longer anywhere near standard.

Now, I get that modifications don't add a lot of value in general however, from observation, track prepped cars with a biggish spec do seem to attract a bit of a premium so perhaps you guys could put your heads together and help out?

The major question is does it matter if they need to pay out or is it supposed to be a rough value ? Anyway, I would value it at what you can sell / buy it for, so probably add 1-2k to the standard car's price ?

I'd have thought about £7.5-8k.

Thanks for the input chaps. Chris - value is for insurance and there are some other reasons why I need to try and pin a rough figure on it.

For insurance, each time I've seen an advert for a track m3 I've tried to remember to print it, then gives them less room to wriggle if there is an issue. As it would be v tough to argue its even worth as much as a standard car come claim time otherwise.

Dans pricing is good for asking prices, may not quite get it, pals car went for 6.5k & was v similar, & another went for 7k & had big brakes but only half cage, I've followed most e36 track cars for sale for a good 2 yrs, yours doesnt have big brakes & the colour is very marmite so would limit buyers, but should be 6.5-7ks worth realisticly.

Lots of dreamers mess up the real sale prices with unrealistic asking prices tho.

I sold my trusty track road/e36 at under 5k in under a day & lots of demand, (ph ad gone already, but is on Northloop if you want to see it) perhaps tad underpriced? wasnt fully stripped tho had buckets & cage but also kept stcok interior hence lots of european interest, as tough for some countries to register fully stripped cars.

I now have tad higher spec nicely prepped track m3 & id hope its 7k area worth min.

A few months ago i bought a '95 3.0 litre coupe. Didn't have a cage or buckets, came with black vadar and all the standard interior.
125K miles reasonable amount of Service history, coilovers/quick ratio diff/Dave F/Scorpion cat back/polybushes/adjustable top plates/rogue engineering rear top mounts/front and rear braces/adjustable rear arms/manifold flexi joint Mod/ engine mounts and a load of sensors changed etc while trying to track a rough idle issue when cold.
In cosmos black, i bought it in what i would call reasonable condition and i paid £3.5K.
I have since put quite a bit of work/cash into making it a much nicer car so would be selling it at around £4250 i think.
Looking at your spec Guy, yours looks nicer than mine so i would go along with Dan's valuation on it.
