I want this...

Seller is a goof. He'll take $2000 for it. Notice how he put the wrap right over the fender gills...?

Talking to the seller about this... I think I could get it for under his $700 asking price. I just don't want / have the ability to tow the darn thing home to fix it...

Too bad you don't know anyone with a truck........

I like the estimated retail at $90k... if the car gets totally redone, and redone right, not far off the mark the way prices for these have been going.

Hagerty is chalked on the windshield, I wonder what the stated value payout was?

This^^. I am willing to bet the PO got a fair payout, but no way is it near $90k. This car just sold for $63K for reference: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1988-bmw-m3-36/

Cheap late model, worth more than the asking price in parts (bumpers, shadowline, etc)

Eww... I wonder if this comes with the trunk full of whatever drugs he is on

Meh. Thats not bad, just needs some wheels and a little TLC. I have seen FAR worse in my time.

It's not the ugliest thing,wheels and plastidip/wrap and it would look fine...but he's smoking something if he thinks he will get anywhere close to 8k for a e34 525i.

Yeah. Sadly its auto and a 525i. I could see maybe getting $4k for it to the right buyer.

If I remember correctly, I sold my s52 swapped e34 for like 4.5k. I would find it hard to believe anyone would pay 4k for that banana, but who knows.

I bet if it had a far less rare benzinmotor somebody would pay that, especially if it was a 533i/535i.  A 524td with even less miles struggled to make $6k on BaT.  Very few e28s left with this mileage/in this condition, but the td/auto aspect is a real punch in the gut value wise for it.  I like the sheepskin seat covers, very period.
