What do you think this is worth?

[magnum]

The add says it's a 88 525i but it's from Japan so I actually think it's a 89 525i. I'm thinking of buying it, I know it may not be the style that the member here like but what do you think it's worth. here are some pictures. This is what I know about the car. It has a widebody kit, 18" Work wheels, custom exaust. I don't know the mileage but it would be around 60,000 to 100,000 miles.

if you like the looks of it, then get it, dont worry about our opinions. I just dont like the "all show no go" part - but, that is just that...an opinion.

considering its a kit car and probably not maintained well and just driven/beat I wouldnt spend much. if you have it inspected and it has maintenance records its a different story.

ps looks like the rims were used as curb feelers so there isn't any value in them.

I like the look, but like you said it would be all show no go, so a engine swap would be in order. The M20 is kinda a dead end engine isn't it? The wheels can be repaired. The place that is selling it has a good reputation for selling cars in good shape. The curb rash is very common of car comming from Japan.

I actually think it looks pretty good. I would switch that front bumper and exhaust, but the rest of the kit looks good.

guys I'm just looking for a $ range on what you think it would loosely be worth.

IMHO
Coffee can exhaust, over the top (OTT) fibreglass and rims...
Need I say more?

I would guess they would be asking $US 7-10k. Maybe more if there is more to the car. People always try to up the asking price by listing mods.

The way it looks like it's been taken care of.... those work wheels are "worked", damn shame... I doubt it has much in the way of performance mods. Therefore, it is indeed riced.

I'm not impressed. I wouldn't buy it, but I'd say it's worth between 2-3k.

id guess 2500-3500 US max
