Christ its only a car. If you can get what you are asking for it, you should snap their arm off! Granted it is a lovely example but it is only a car, a decent roof over your heads is more important.

If you really care about keeping it that much, move to a sh1ttier area (do you get sh1ttier than coatbridge?  lol) and get a bigger house for the same cash.

Thanks for all your lovely advice. I live in Beirut so it will make life a wee bit easier with the extension.

If i get the asking price or near to it then I can get another toy as well as the extension.

We will have to wait and see if it sells at all

I was thinking the same.
An E30 M3 Sport Evo is not just a car. It's a rare piece of motoring heritage that is only going to see it's values go north.

Fair enough about a roof over your families head being more important though.

Cannae believe a car with only 4 pots is worth that much!

Christ you'll get some extension to the house if you can flog it for that much!

Or you'll get a good second hand M5 for that which has a far better number of cylinders!

Its still just a car at the end of the day. Can you really see prices heading much further north than 35k?

For me, no car wouldnt get a look in over family stuff.

As Gary says an extension to the house with enough left over for a nice toy would be my way too.

E28 M5 would be my choice.

Gary...

Look at this way. You're in an enviable position to have owned like someone earlier mentioned motoring heritage. Not many can say they have or will....

I'll stick a limb out and say that your car will be worth more in few years, as there isn't many black SE's kicking about. Rarity, attracts preminum prices.

However, speculation isn't the issue right now, prioritisng is. If the extension is required, then do what needs to be.

My 2p worth

Cheers guys for the comments.

A big part of me doesn't want it to go but heyho thats life. I think it as Tiko says will increase in price but I can't wait that long.

Muppet tell the wife I'm not a miracale worker

would love an M5 but being a technospaz I would drown in it

All the best with the sale Gary.  If that value is realistic, I'd be inclined to do the same, pay for the extension and buy an Alpina B10 BiTurbo.  Similar LHD looks, rarity and pace but far less cash tied up.  And they could be worth £30k in five years time

£35k is top end money for these cars but given the work I have done, we'll need to wait and see, I'm open to offers as is the norm.
