87 automatic -- I might be selling it...

[ronnieg]

Any opinions out there for the value of an '87 635 with 80,000 documented miles. Bronzit exterior, high quality respray, 100% straight body, black leather in great condition. I've freshened up the mechanicals (exhaust, brakes, front end rebuild, etc.) but a few minor mechanicals need some TLC (one rear window regulator is sluggish, rear A/C was pinched off). Was a Florida/Texas car.

Am thinking $14,50 would be fair.

Any opinions?

Sorry you're considering selling your shark, as it sounds like a solid car from your description. As for valuation, $14.5k seems awfully high, and honestly, I've not seen a US-model auto trans car go for much over half that price in quite a while, A more desirable Euro with 5-speed, sport seats, and some of the other desireable options might be in that high price range, though. Have a look at recent sales on bringatrailer.com and eBay for some ideas. Unfortunately, these cars still have not appreciated enough for their intrinsic value to approach the funds and efforts we put into them, although sentimental value is often high. Post some pics up for everyone.
