BMW 316 compact at auction- How much? (just for fun).

[holbeck]

My local house clearance auction had this through today.  They only do cars as part of deceased estates, so sometimes a bargain is to be had.

 

Today it was this.

 

Lot 1.

SILVER BMW 316i COMPACT THREE-DOOR HATCHBACK, N845VDV REGISTERED 24/04/96, 1596 CC PETROL, ONE FORMER KEEPER, 39,432 MILES, MOT UNTIL 10/04/17 (KEY AND LOGBOOK IN OFFICE).

It had a few giffer scrapes most notably the nearside wing mirror, The osr wheel arch was quite crusty and I reckon least two new tyres and an exhaust needed for MOT.

 

I was in the room when it went through, how much does the team think it was worth and what do you think it actually went for?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[oldcars]

Low miles and short mot, but not bad history. I recon £175?

[sierraman]

£150. No more than that, you can pick these up for practically nothing. Rev blue jeans sold one recently on here, really tidy for £600 I think.

[Alexg]

£90

[Dave_Q]

I think this is going to be the other way round.

 

I reckon it's worth £250-300, and it sold for £650.

[DVee8]

So Holbeck how much did you pay for it?

When is the roffle?

[John F]

£45. And that's cutting me own throat.

[RobT]

Do we go higher or lower?

 

 

I'll say something silly...

 

£38.50p

[DodgeRover]

£95

[Supernaut]

£102.49

[Lord Sterling]

7€

[Stanky]

Going by the fact its lot number 1, based on all the Solent Shiters visits to the Southampton Hall of Broken Dreams I will say £10

[Craig the Princess]

My guess:

Worth £250

Sold for £1,100

[sporty-shite]

My guess:

 

Worth: fuck all

Sold for: too much.

 

But I'm still bitter about these things.

[beko1987]

£550

Just to confirm, this is not a bid. I reckon with a whole week's MOT it's got to be £195 plus buyer's premium plus VAT. Either that or it didn't get a bid and got put with the next lot, so somebody ended up with a 1960s oak veneered sideboard and a BMW for £17

[RoadworkUK]

Fifty Dong.

I think you might be surprised at how fucking mental classic car investors/speculators are.

 

If you got two of these morons fighting it out for a one owner, low mileage 20 plus year old BMW,it could, conceivably get over £2000.

[paulscavalier]

£200-£250?

[holbeck]

And the answer is..............

[holbeck]

£ 840 fecking quid!

 

That's the thick end of a grand with commission.

 

 

 

Unbelievable.

[John F]

Wow.

[Dead_E23]

Did you see the buyer?    I'll bet it was some enterprising old duffer who fancies himself as a 'general dealer'; the sort you see at car boot sales with a stand full of optimistically priced garden hand tools refurbished* with light blue hammerite.  

 

He reckons BMWs are valuable cars; anyone who offers him less than a grand is 'trying to pull a fast one'.  They won't catch him out, because he 'knows what these are worth'.

[holbeck]

You must know him, it was a bloke of about 60 in a Pringle sweater.

[KruJoe]

Bloody hell.

There was a very honest looking example ont' bay last week for £600 BIN which caught my eye, I'll see if I can find it... 

[KruJoe]

Here, how sweet is this?

It was in Guisborough, I wouldn't be surprised if John_K snaffled it on the quiet!

[The Reverend Bluejeans]

£ 840 fecking quid!

 

 

 

 

Retail value x2.

 

Stupid old fart. These things aren't worth a cup of cold piss. Worthy, yet worthless.

[Vince70]

Quite a few E36 compacts with low mileage are turning up on eBay at the moment..

It looks like the days of a good cheap low miler are over.

But I did see a nice straight one with about 70000 on the clock in Boston green the other day for £895.

If I can find it I will put it up
