1 owner e36 316i

[Billywizz74]

Hello, I'm selling my father in laws mint Lreg 316 I. Any advice on what it's worth, it's done 150,000. Thanks

[Nuttah]

How mint?

[anonymous-user]

500 quid

[fathomfive]

£50

[Billywizz74]

Really mint, it's been well and truly loved. Saloon with no rust and paint that looks like new. Fsh, toolkit, torch all old mots, all keys etc etc

If you want to make money, keep it for 5 years then sell. Other than that £500. In 5 years it could end up on the Best Barge Bargains vol 18.

It's a 150k mile 316i, I don't think it's ever going to be worth much.

That said, there was someone on here that was dead set on buying a base spec e36 for some reason.

£500 would be reasonable, Autotrader has loads of newer cars in good condition for under £1k, this is a £1k V reg 316i and looks like a great buy, FSH, 97k miles, 3 keys etc etc... 318i

[Dinoboy]

Agree 500 or 600 is the most it's worth.

Something isn't right.

150,000 miles is mega mileage yet it's described as mint.

Has it had a nut and bolt restoration in the last 20 miles?

Do you mean a well cared for but high mileage e36 in good condition?

[rallycross]

£200.

£350 on a good day.

No it's not. It's quite a low annual mileage and I can imagine it being in my very nice condition.

Be lucky to get £400 IMO.

I paid £450 for a E36 328 with 128k and full mot. Not that milage is massively relevant at this price point.

My FiL has a similarly mint 1995 316i Compact, which he has owned from new. His only has 55,000 miles on the clock with a full BMW history. I wouldn't expect it to get anymore than £500.

I suspect keeping it the garage for another 10 years and similarly low mileage that it might grow in value??

[jcelee]

If its really peachy and you'll not in a hurry, I'm quite sure a BMW anorak will already pay you £1000-1500 for it. You need every detail and lots of high res close-ups but I'm confident its do-able.

[getawayturtle]

I wouldn't say the 316i was worth anymore than £600. At the end of the day it's not a very desirable model from the E36 range.

I'm curious, how did you get one for such a low amount!? I'm not doubting you picked one up for that, but a price like that certainly isn't representative of the E36 328 market. Did you buy it in the run up to xmas or something?

[Billywizz74]

I tried to put a picture up but it says the image is too big. If I put a link up to the advert it will be taken down by the forum police!! The add is on here, auto trader, Classic eBay and car and classic.

Insurance certificate and driving license for a £895 car?!... Keep us posted, would be interesting to see what it makes!...

[Billywizz74]

Well yea it's not my car and that's what's he's asked. What a strange comment to make.

looks tidy for the mileage rather than 'mint'.

Can't see a white 316 being very desirable really. If it were a 328 with leather and all the twiddly bits...
