First car e30 market value

[Bthorne]

Hi, I was looking into an e30 for my first car. I was wondering how much I would realistically pay for an ok one with a manual. Thank you in advance for any help, I really appreciate it.

you could easily pay a good amount. you need to check craigslist for your area and the other towns in your area to get an idea of what they are going for.

they have been climbing for the last few years so you might be looking at around 5k, up to 10k for a nice one with a 5 speed and two doors

Ok, thank you. I saw a couple nice ones around 8-9 but wasn't 100% sure if they were good mechanically or it was just too good to be true.

you really have to go check them out. look for rust behind the wheels, kind of underneath where you won't see from standing next to it. the rust is the bad part. mechanical stuff is not hard to fix but body work will be the killer

Buy a car thats already 24V swapped in if thats anywhere close to a seed of an idea in your mind. Save yourself the trouble can buy swapped cars for like 6-10
