My E28 518i lux

[adsabs83]

It's a 1988 E plate, covered 108,000 miles, MOT'd and Taxed to April, new tyres, wheel cylinders, suspension top mounts. 100% original comes complete with unmarked interior and uncracked dash, full toolkit, all the original dealer stickers and parts info etc, service book and owners information.  It's got central locking, electric windows, electric mirrors, sunroof, original blaupunkt radio cassette with electric aerial. Needless to say it drives without any problems and everything works as it should. It's also rust free as shown below, has been waxoyled and is rock solid underneath.  What do you think it's worth guys?

I don't know, if you are selling I would be interested, where are you?

In my opinion I would say around £1500, if it was a six cylinder maybe nearer £2k. It's a lovely car and very hard to find one that good, are you sure you need to sell? You'll probably regret it if not!

Thanks for your reply, Kite, I'm in North Yorkshire if you are interested. I would have to say though that I wouldn't really be prepared to let it go for as little as 1500 as it's worth more to me as a functioning car than the money, especially with the time and funds I've invested in work on it. I've found looking around that the value spectrum on these is vast to the extent that it's difficult to assess the value of a car as there is no consistency there, for example, there's a 520 on ebay on an E reg with a sizeable hole in the back underneath the lights, corroded doors and sunroof and generally needs a good sorting out and the guy wants 2 grand - I frequently see adverts for cars in this state at this price. Equally you see ads for "useable but needs a tart up" E28's for around the 1800 mark. You see some smart looking E28's going for 4-5 grand (non M5 or M535i). I enquired with a dealer recently who had a 525e which admittedly had only done 70k but appeared to be in a similar state to mine and he was asking 5 grand - which seems a bit steep, but hey, it sold for the asking price - possibly a scenario where the words sense, money, more and than came into play?

PM me an asking price please. You've obviously done your research, and you know what it owes you and what you'll take for it.
