How much is my car worth..

I am thinking about getting an e46 M3 in the near future, however, first I would like to know how much much my car is worth before I post it here on maxbimmer for sale page or place it on any other websites.

I've own the car for 3 1/2 years now and it has been a great reliable car that pulls strong. Also, with the addition of the exhaust it gives the car a distinct subtle, but aggressive sound.The car is basically stock with a few little cosmetic upgrades.

The paint has some little scratches but there not too noticeable. 2 rust spots in who places: by the trunk and passenger side left skirt.

Anywho, I sound like a sales person.

The specs goes as follows:

1993 bmw 325is
aprox. 265,000km

Exterior:
front clear corners
HID lights
//m replica rims
clear tail lights
magnaflow exhaust

Interior:
black exterior with black leather interior
power seats
//m shift knob
tape deck with cf changer
cup holders w/arm rest

Maintenance/Changed:
new headlight unit
Throttle position sensor
thermostat
starter
new fuel pump
used alternator
new battery
new crank sensor
oil change every 5000km
new O-rings
new spark plugs
new front rotors with new brake pads
new clutch
new quibo
rear wheel bearings done
monroe rear shocks
new left and right tie rods
new o2 sensor

---Sorry, but i dont know how to re-size the pictures

I would say somewhere around $5000.

I would say worth 5000
but realistically you mught get 3500-4000
I recently sold my 328 with about 230k on it, it had no rust but a cracked front bumper. Other than that I have very similar mods such as bbs rims, exhaust, m3 parts etc
anyways I only got 3500 after multiple ppl backing out of buying it

looks to be in good condition, miles are obviously pretty high, and its a 93. if the car was not in could condition i would say a lesser amount, but 4-5000 because of your cars condition.

Cool, thanks guys for your input. I have a ball-park price that I want to get the car for. I never knew that my car could actually be worth $5000.00..But I was hoping to get 4000 for it. We'll see what happens in the next little while.

^^i think that site is high. It says my car, if it were stock, is worth 8600 wholesale, 10.5 retail.

i really doubt i'd get that for my car.

mmmm..I checked my car and it said between 3350 to 4500, which seems kinda fair to me

yeah...i think its a good site. gives you a ballpark figure. so 5K might be high but 4.5 depending on the condition is reasonable.
