tires and wheels So what's your '02's value?

I'll work with midwest dollars since that's where the cars are located. You can deduct $1k on each of them if they were on the west coast.

'73 2002tii - I traded an '88 535i (worth about $4500) for this car in 2000. I've spent $3-4k on parts and service - getting the kfish setup sorted out, Recaros, factory sport steering wheel, wheels, Pertronix, plus a bunch of parts still to go in (carpet, front suspension bits & other misc). Its a nearly rustfree car with a so-so paint job. Probably worth $4500-5500, maybe a little more on Ebay.

'70 1600-2 - I paid $900 for this car earlier this year. Spent $950 to have it trucked from CA to OH, $50 on a battery & $100 on tune-up parts. Has a little "sunroof rust" in the rockers, otherwise a clean solid car. Clutch went in-op just before I put it away for the winter, so it takes a hit on value. Probably worth $1500-2000 once I get the clutch fixed, but could go for a bit more on Ebay.

It will be fun spending what I hope will be a large amount of time and money on these cars over the next 10-15 years to make them only marginally more valuable. But creating new 02 memories is priceless.

Bought my first 02 in 1983 for $1000.

totally rebuilt it, added things, took them off, added other things, took those off, cut up the body, added box flares, added a bunch more stuff, changed the intake to dual 45s, took those off, rebuilt the motor, changed to 320i fuel injection, and so on....

Yeah, one time I did take all the receipts and they totalled nearly $18k as I remember. I didn't have any receipts for the bodywork or paint as it was done in trade with me doing some of the work.

I figure I would have spent more than 10 times that amount had I have been into drinking, gambling, or loose women.

Sold the car in 1996 or 97 for about $7500.

It had tons of auxiliary headlamps and was brand new. Those are the cars I dream of.

73 Sahara purchased in Boulder in '97 w/ 135k(162k now)and original PO engine rebuild (yah yah...No history but very strong!) Mostly garaged. $3500 price tag, paid $800 actual as part of a severance. Funny, I was just making a list. $5k in already and I have not done body repairs and paint, recaro,s, LSD, 5 speed conversion and engine. Need $6.5k before body/paint and motor. FANTASTIC DRIVER in very good shape...to me! Brought our only son, Enzo, home from the hospital in her. Happy holidays to all!!!!

I used to think it was worth something, but then some jerk told me about the massive "dimple disaster" that proves a previously smashed 02. I checked mine, and sure enough, I have 1 dimple. So I guess the 2 previous owners were lying to me when they said it had never been hit. Now I may as well see it for scrap.

Puchased a rust free Arizona car in 1993 for $1000. Spent thousands on replacing or modifying nearly every system and still counting. Just before I left for Iraq, I spent over 2k on Sparco EVO2 seats & brackets, Spraco 6pt harness and an Autopower Race roll bar w/harness bar and cross bar (Powder Coated).

I could see it bringing ammounts like that... then again I might be overly optimistic...

Got my 02 about 3 weeks ago, along with a lot of extras. Now it is in the process of rust repair and the road to a new life. Interior out, rockers cut out, floors also getting attention. But..the piles of rust are getting smaller and smaller after each grinding session.

Hopefully by mid summer it will be a happy car once again.

Pictures soon to come

a4 rocket is a POS too. We could probably save ourselves the $25 tow.

Might be a plan.
