Maybe someone on here can help me out. This is a bit of an oddity, as IMHO the E36 is the least desirable 3 series and being an auto really doesn`t help it`s value.
However, it`s a rare car.
1 lady owner from new, full service history and this lady owner has also kept a hand written log of each journey she has ever made in the car, including where from and to and total mileage covered on that journey. It`s done a genuine 27,000 miles and is in mint condition.
I`ve not got any pictures, but was offered this today. I`m trying to put a value on it, but am struggling a bit because I`m not too keen on these cars anyway, but the mileage and history do make it more appealing.
Anyone with more of a knowledge of these cras care to take a stab at it`s value?
Thanks.

Saloon? Coupe? Compact? '91 was the first of the E36, so not a convertible or touring.

Just a plain old boring saloon I'm afraid. I wasn't even aware they did a compact in 1991!

They probably didn't, to be fair. Saloon or coupe in 1991, I'd think.
If I had it, I'd probably try to trade it to Old Colonel for a bit of wages. I think there'll be a market for it at a premium price, but a very, very small one.

Might not be the best model, but if it really is that clean i would be saying £1495 on ebay and seeing what people offer.

Take a look here although it is 2 door and a manual Buyer has since been trying to shift it on ebay for £2.5k, I think the ebay ad has expired.

It depends on a few things, colour, spec (does it have the horrible base model black bumpers and steelies?) chief amongst these. Also, it's the least desirable engine, no better on juice than a 323/325/328 and slower than a 318 16v. However, it sounds in excellent condition, and how many do you find now in that condition? If you have storage I'd be tempted to bang it away for 5 years. Look at the value of 6-pot E30s now...
If you want to sell it now, I'd put it on eBay with the reserve at a grand. Any car in that condition has to be worth that surely? I'd give a grand for it if I was after one.

I`ve got plenty of storage, and although I`m going to have to spend strong money on it, the condition and history makes it a bit special. £500? I wish I could get it for that. You`d pay that for a nail with 100k on the clock!

Needs back arch work, so potentially it could end up costing double asking price to make it decent and its still got more miles and will have been messed with. I'd say that if its mint the OP's car has to be £1000 - £1500 all day long
