1995 325is with sports package.
i have checked the blue book prices for the car in stock form. i would like to get an idea of what i might be able to get for the car in modded form.
the car has been driven from san diego to LA 5 days a week, hence 220k of freeway miles on the chassis. but in november 2004 i got an engine from a 328 with 34k miles. also got a low mileage 5 speed getrag transmission for a manual conversion (i have the paper work etc...) all the tests on the new motor showed excellent figures.
NOTE: before the motor and tranny were dropped in, these parts were added...

Extra notes
to give you an idea of where the car is in terms of performance (not trying to brag) i have raced modded e36 M3's and have pulled on them. i also raced a modded 6spd G35 coupe with intake, NO cats, exhaust and a chip and started to walk on him. one e36 M3 i raced had his car dynoed and made 244 RWHP approx. 285 HP at the crank. we raced from 65mph (3rd gear through 4th) to 125mph i was walking away slowly.

There was a user on here a while back who had a 325 convertible and he had it as fast or faster as our M3's . YOu should talk with him. Only problem is I forgot his name, maybe someone on the board can help you out with that.

His car was blue and he lived in Daytona part time and new jersey as well. I know purple knows who Im talking about. Good luck! Hope that helps

Nice car but stock rims?

not to be an a___ but that car has no loan value.. you'll need someone with cash, and to that end its not that far off price wise from a 95 M3.. i think 6500 is a stretch.

the car looks clean, why not keep it?

it might not have much of a loan value but it has a motor and tranny that have less than 40k miles on them (i have the paper work) keep in mind how much the parts are worth if i were to "part out" the engine. i have different plans for a project car thats why i'm thinking of selling it.

It could be worth a million in parts, but the problem is no financial institution will loan someone more than NADA book value for a car.

So you severely limit your target market to those that can afford to pay cash for most, if not all, of the car.

You wouldn't be able to get a real "car loan" on that .. you'd need to get a personal loan. A car loan on something with 200k on the clock would be liek 12 percent, or 60 percent down... and they would never go for it from a private seller.

I'd part it.. otherwise its really not worth too much.
