    I think the seller is delusional. Don't be like the seller.

    My hunch is it's worth whatever it can be parted out for, less the value of your time.

    You might want to ask in the E30 sub-forum for their opinions.

    ^ What he said restoring a accident damaged car can be costly and you should be up for a lot of surprises and the car may never drive true again.. I learnt that the hard way lol

    If you were a body man with the parts on hand to repair it yourself, perhaps.
    If you were a body man you'd already know better.
    The ill fitted tires, "stance" and bogus exhaust tells me this car had a hard recent life before Ricky race car crashed it.
    It's a parts car
