for example e30's and some of the parts for them. you try and find evo seats or an evo sport m3 is pristine condition and you will get more than what you paid for it.

value with rare parts comes with time.

if he held on to this for 5 more yars or even 20 i have no doubt that price would be ok for what he has.

I understand the concept pretty clearly, but then again, the right buyer will take time to find.

And lets not forget, that is then, and this is now.

sorry, but no matter what way you cut it, that car is not worth $15,000 ... yes its hawt as heck, but not worth near that... MAYBE 12,000 if you find the right buyer.

Hmm... I believe these cars are pretty rare to come across in such condition. It seems to be overpriced because it has simply outdone itself in options. I believe that this is the perfect 318ti out on the market right now. If I see any above this price, then I will be forced to disagree. Since when was 148xxx miles on a BMW alot?

That car still hasn't sold? I have seen it listed for 3-4 months now.

It's a great car. But not worth the 15,000. Even with all the mods, it's still not worth 15,000. Give me 15,000 and I will come up with a better car than that. Any one of us could take 15,000 and buy another Ti for about 5,000 or even 7,000 (too much also) and then spend the remaining 8-10,000 on mods and have a s50 swap and a lot of other goodies added on. And I am not a big fan of those seats either. I would take the leather Vader seats any day and all day.

I think true price is closer to 10k with all the mods for someone who REALLY likes ti's and wants to have one in such nice condition for their collection

It's a great car, clean, in near perfect condition with fantastic mods, but ti's just aren't worth that much.. even with the DASC. If it had a S52 in it or something, the 15k pricetag would be much more reasonable.

Agree with you totally on the interior. Someone on this board talked about how great this interior is, I had a series 1 VW GTI with really nice blue velour seats that had thin red stripes vertically.The series 2 GTI had seats like this ti with pastel color pattern on gray and I hated it. The interior is only worth the money if you like it, no matter how rare it is. I'd rather have Vaders or the stock black cloth/leather bolster sport seats on my '95 ti.
