what's a 94 530i worth

[papajimmm]

Any Guesstamites on what i can get for a 1994 530i, auto 222k motor was supposedely rebuilt at 156k(have some papers) but water pump went ie overheat headgasket and who knows what else. within last 400 miles new rear pads,calipers,rotors,tie rods, 15" tires(but not sure if they will go with it). within last 6 months new front pads,and rotors, heater control valve and probable more. body not perfect but ok black on black, only think that doesn't work is outside temp which always reads -35, rear pasenger window only works from rear(not from center controls), drivers seat rocks a little but heat and movement are fine. factory radio with trunk cd changer, no tools in tool kit ...most likely willput it on fleabay

i was being serious


what are you offering him for it?

[DaveVoorhis]

Where in the world is it? In the UK, it's worth at most £200.

3000-7000 hope you get a helper to bump it on 'bay

[Evan]

are you offering him $7K for a 200K mile 530i with a blown head gasket

Is the head-gasket blown or was that the cause for the rebuild at 156k? It's not clear, but for the sake of argument I'm assuming it's fixed now. Regardless, if this is a Nikasil block, not Alusil, and with an automatic transmission, at this mileage I doubt the car will bring $3000 even on Epay. ASC, or not? Since the seller asked for estimates, I'll say $2500---and I'm not a buyer.

offer him $1k and if he doesnt take it then run.

As you know... it is not worth that much because a rebuilt or used motor will cost more than the car itself. Maybe you can score a cheap used engine and put it in... doesn't someone here have a used engine they just yanked out?
