Found an e30 M3 cabrio!

[e30m3cabrio]

Hey guys, I stumbled across a late model black/grey leather convertible e30 M3..didn't see it yet but it has 140k km on the clock the owner is a dedicated M collector (He has lots of jaw dropping Ms!!). I wasn't looking for an e30 M3 in the first place but the price is what attracted me honestly. The owner says everything is original and in excellent condition (except the things I noticed in pictures..like blacked out headlights and the very famous purplish tail lights and some original alpina rims) He also says it's accident free. The car looks astonishing in pictures and I'm sure it really is because of the other good looking Ms in some family pictures (even the rear windshield is shining like it was brand new) I looked around for prices for a similar e30 M3 convertible and they were super high..I just need to know what's the market price for it, considering it's perfect, if someone wants to really sell it not just show the beauty of it in some pictures and specs! Thanks!

How much is the car advertised for? I presume the car is for sale in Canada? If the car is as good as you say and is original, other than the lights, then it will be worth a fair bit. The only issue with the M3 cab is that lots of purists don't see them as an M3 but that doesnt seem to have come through in the recent values.

If it was for sale in the UK it would probably been in the £18-20K region assuming its been correctly maintained from a serving and preventative maintenance pov, how that translates to the Canadian market I don't know.

ETA, maybe, to get a better handle in North Americn prices ask the same question on www.S14.net

The price is well under what it's worth in the UK then! But I thought it will be worth a lot more because it's rare (786 were made). Is it a good investment to get it or the cab will always be underrated? I don't think collectors are tracking sport evos anyway!
