How much you have invested in the car is largely irrelevant to it's resale value. I would say that given the mileage and where you live, even with the rebuild, you will be hard pressed to get more than $12-13k for it.

Then again, it all depends on the right person coming along who really wants the car. If that happens you might be able to get $14k for it.

From what I've seen recently it seems that for an M635 to get more than $15 it needs to have under 80k on the clock and be flawless.

: I have an '85 M635csi. The exterior is flawlwess white, and the car has a beatiful 2200 dollar set of Hamann HM2 Monoblock rims on it. I bought the car @ 114k miles, and had the head rebuilt/timing chain, updated tensoiner, and all sprockets, etc. replaced. I also threw a new oil and a new water pump on it, as well as a new fan, fan clutch, and fan shroud. I have put 8000 miles on the rebuild, so she's around 122,000 miles. The car was imported to TEXAS in '85, so iy did not sit in Europe for years first! It has had undercoating its whole life, and retains the Euro bumpers, as well as Euro header setup. (NO CATS!!!)I have a stack of 15+thou worth of records from the previous owner, as well as my rebuild. It is rust free. The interior is black. The passengeer Recaro is near perfect, driver's is pretty worn out. Rear seats are perfect, and the DASH is PRISTINE. Under the hood is clean enough to eat, and I swapped the oil out every 2500 miles. The AC works, and the car has an Alpine radio, Blaupunkt speakers, and an very small Alpine amp. I bought this particular M635csi because it was A)Cosmetically near perfect and B)Rediculously fast. Now it is also fairly reliable!


: A pending wedding makes this little rocket available for someone else's launch pad! What is a fair price?
: (Keep in mind I have 20k in it total!) By the way, I live in NC.
