e30 Convertible price rises???

I know what you mean re the kids. I've just had 4 glorious days in Cornwall. The weather was fantastic. Unfortunately we had to take the 5 series though purely due to the size. I've only got one daughter but there was no way everything would have gone in the 325. While driving around the lanes down there, all I could think about was "it would be better with the hood down!".  Years of searching for a high spec e39 with a sunroof finally paid off.

It will sell for that. It's the right colour (quite rare in an early e30 convertible) and the hood is a major selling point being new. Mine is white (although I think it suits it) and had the usual bubbling here and there. It's the 325 but still an auto but it does have the indigo leather. It's got 102k up fully historied and had had a new blue hood. I paid £2900 for that (i've since done a further £1000 on it though) and I consider that cheap. I would put yours at £2650 all day long if it's as good as you say.

In the last 2 isuues of Total BMW, WLN (the company listed above with the red 320) have had 2 further e30 convertibles advertised at once again top money. This month they have a green 325 I believe, in at £7750, and thay had a different one in last month, again at top money. I'll see if I can dig out the copies and get the spec etc. Another dealer (the 80's emporiam I think) has just let a very clean 320i auto with similar miles to yours go for about the £3500 mark and that was Kashmir Beige with a brown hood, Not a colour I'd entertain but very 80's. So your price is very attractive, it just needs to be seen.

If I'm not mistaken, the lagoon green 325i was advertized recently by a private seller in Autotrader for £5500.  Probably too much of a coincidence for another with exactly the same mileage to pop up in short order.  It does look very nice though.

I've got a 320i convertible that I need to sell (new car on the way), so I'm trying to work out what to ask for it.

It was registered in 11/89, it's done 103,000 miles, it's automatic, Atlantis Blue with natural leather and it has air-con (not currently working), 15 inch factory wide wheels and ABS. The interior is in amazingly good condition, the body/paint is very good, except for a dent and scrape (probably £600 to repair properly) the back window is broken (£270 ish to fix) and it uses a lot of oil (1 ltr every 300-400 miles). It's had two owners (my mother and me!). 

It would be really helpful if anyone could give me an idea of what sort of price I should expect to sell it for (private/trade)?
