what do you think my M3 is worth? (archive)

ok here are the facts.
the car was re-painted about 4 months ago because it was rear ended, so it has been in one accident, no frame damage though. it's a 1987 US M3 sold as an 88. it's actually the 187th US M3 producted in the first month of production. Laschilber silver with cardinal leather (i've changed it to grey leather, but will include the cardinal with the sale of the car)

this is what needs to be fixed
New right control arm
valve job
cat (maybe)
windsheild
some electrical stuff (turn blinkers don't work on one side)
get the car to pass smog

this is what i've fixed
new brakes
new clutch
new water pump
new radiator
new driveshaft
new shocks
new coolant system
new front bumper
new front bumper frame, fog lamps, supports
new heater core
new fuel pump and relay
new cap
new rotor
new plug wires

alot of other little things that i can't remember

EVO cam gear not yet installed
272 Degree intake cam not yet installed either (greater than EVO II specs)

i've attended 3 auto-x's with it and have come in 3rd all three times. it has never been tracked, or heavily auto-xed (although i love it and would continue to use it for that) it was my daily driver for 2 years, i bought it with 74k and it now has 93k.

I love the car, But i have the opertunity to get an E36 M3 that both me and my dad will be able to drive (he doesn't like the "buzzy" feel of the E30, i love it though) which means he will also help me pay for the E36 (i payed for almost everything on the E30)

if i get the car to pass smog, and a new windshield, i believe that it is worth the 12,000-14,500 range
what do you guys think?
