Did no one tell him that the st modifications make it worth less, not more?

[rallycross]

can anyone point me in the direction of the dealer that is specializing in BMW E46's and putting them up at crazy prices, it was on here but with over 200 pages I cant find it (its not Munich legends but they are in the South) thanks (need this for a friend who is having to argue the value as his 330 is being written off and the insurance offer is not very good at all).
thanks if you can help....

It doesnt look to have been modified. It's a 507 Ltd edition, so came supplied new with that bonnet and side stripes amongst other stuff.

It might be worth about 32k.

59k is a joke.

Maybe it's his wife who wants him to sell it. "Sorry luv, I tried but it's a funny time of year to be selling cars"

Errr, no thanks....

Presumably that's £995 for the car and £19,000 for the plate?

And did they really keep the price below £20k to make it look cheaper

Whoops, got that wrong. I didn't realise all the black tat on it was standard fit. It looks like the standard "mods" you see people do to German cars to "improve" them. Shame, as they are lovely cars.

Still looks st though

I know these are expensive and will only go up but £97k really?

Seems like once they had actually restored it they decided the price should be more like £80k

To be fair it’s having a full nut and bolt restoration. There’s a doggy e28 M5 on eBay for 55k and I bet all the usual suspects on that car will need doing.

I might just not be able to see appreciate how things will pan out in the future, however I just can't see 80's and 90's cars appreciating in value like the 50's and 60's cars did.

For example 60's Mercedes and Aston Martin had completely different premium materials (real wood, metal and leather) which you simply don't get in modern cars, it makes the ownership/driving experience something special.

But a 1980's M5 has just a worse version of everything we get in modern day cars.

I may just being short-sighted, but I really don't see these cars increasing in value beyond what they already are now.

£3,500 for a 1985 Astra 1.3 with only 7 miles on the clock but numerous bits missing.

Is this the right thread for this? Who knows?


Advert

Thats been for sale since the dawn of the internet!

Often pops up in the 'badly modified' thread too.

Its neither use - nor ornament!

thanks, but not this one either, think it was just a small trader with half a dozen mega-priced E46's

If I had a massive business in Silicon Valley, you can bet that I'd have it on display. Only then could I justify £3500

£3k for a Vectra B with 171k on the clock. Advert is a right good laugh as well.

I think, if you put that on Facebook market place for 800 pounds, you’d struggle to sell it, someone will offer you 500 max

I'd say 1500 very max on a good day with plenty of beer in the buyer

507 Editions are rare and the saloon is the rarest of them, but coupes are generally £35-40k, a touch more if still an MB AUC. £60k is absolutely barking though as that'll bag you a 2019 demo with a handful of miles: https://stock.mercedes-benz.co.uk/used/vehicle-det...

Is it ever worth going to see an overpriced car that has been on sale for a long time?

I often wonder if they're the kind of non-motivated private seller who puts their ad up and forgets about it then accepts an offer.

Interested to know opinions.

[FIREBIRDC9]

What do we think guys?

37k for the generation of Supra that none of the Fanboys even know exists.

Quite often not as it often suggests a delusional seller who thinks it's genuinely worth that. Despite the market saying otherwise.

How does the market factor in low mileage and dry storage (never been out in winter) will condition add to the value or is it just book says £xxxk mate?
