[manny328i]

Don't get me wrong, I think it's great that prices are holding up but $20k for S52s, really?!

98 Cosmos 77k miles $19,950
99 Alpine 42k miles $19,950

As always, no affiliation...

More power to them is what I say. Cartel prices for Roadys!

Only if it brings down the prices of S54 coupes so I can buy one

[2002Z3]

Be thankful prices are on the way up. KBB also has inflated prices. My 2002 is now worth over $17K according to them. It was only $12K 2years ago. Lot's of $12K to $15K 3.0s with 80Kmiles out there. So, I think $17K for my 40K miles car is right on For an M at $20K? Well the $ is geting more worthless now due to the fed policies. I can't believe we don't have Carter 20% inflation. $20K today is really only about $14K in 2005 money... probably less.

[Telecomtodd]

For the amount of money I keep putting into my S52 replacing stuff, there's NO WAY I would ever sell it for $12K unless I smashed it up.

z3s in new england are stupid expensive, a 2.3 would be 14k

Sweet! got my 2.3 for 14.5K in 2003!

[Mr Bingley]

No matter how you slice it, the S52 appears to riding up the other side of the value curve, having bottomed out a couple of years ago. S54's have been on that track for 3 or 4 years now.

That is crazy. I just bought mine a few months ago for $4000.

What did you buy for $4,000? An S52? How many miles? Condition? Title? Even if it was a 1.9 with 100K, you stole it.

That's nothing, in my country 1.9 M44 go for $15 and more

[albrazzi]

Its all about mileage and condition, these cars are more and more collectable every year. That Alpine is one I would have, and manage usage carefully, try finding another one in that condition. Don't get me wrong I think cars need to be used as they were intended, but I already have one highly modified for a Track toy so If I had to own two of them to keep one pristine, whats the harm. Tie up a little storage space and see what you have in 10 years.

For shame.

[KwaK]

Traded my subaru for my 00' M coupe with 82k Earlier this month. Subaru was probably worth 14k. Extensive work done to that car though.

[DeepZ3]

The bumper gap on the AW under the the passenger headlight seems a bit sketchy.

[luciano136]

Wow, makes mine look like a steal!

[Scarceas]

I think your car is a steal, at least to an enthusiast. I was drawn into the Z3 family due to the M, but your car is better than a stock M, in my opinion, and by the time I get done getting my M where I want it I will have spent close to what you're asking for yours and still be left with stock S52 power.

Back to the OP: My car has high miles (over 160K when I bought it) and the trunk floor spot weld issue is present, but I got it for just over $7K so seeing these $20K cars makes me feel like I got a bargain.

Thanks! It is a lot of fun to drive now. I finally feel like the car is finished. I do still have the components to upgrade the sound system but I probably won't bother since I don't really drive it on long distances where you'd want music.

Don't think it's going to happen anytime soon here in good ol' silicon valley.
