Inspired by !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! about the values of old German cars (the 190E, specifically), I just looked on the same CL home page (for cars + trucks by owner) and found these two “old” German cars. Quite different, yet the price is nearly the same.

5-speed ‘88 325i, looks well sorted, but asking $9,800 for 162,000 miles of 30 year old car. I think you’ve been looking at E30 M3 collector values.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

‘05 Cayenne with 93,500 miles for $9950? I kept waiting for the “salvage title” or “just needs CEL cleared” or something. But no... seems clean.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

I think the E30 is overpriced. But is the Cayenne underpriced? Or are they really only worth $10k. If that’s the case, as much as I would rather drive the E30, the Porsche seems like a smoking deal at that price. Or is it going to be the next Audi Allroad of used cars?

Which would you have?

And don’t tell me all the OTHER ways you’d spend $10k. Because !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

E30 325i hands down.

It’s my favorite E30 by far.

I’d take the Cayenne it would be safer while still being quick, I find it believable that they’ve devalued drastically. I see very questionable people rocking these and 07 S-classes so they’ve fallen into their last owners

Pains me to say this, but I’d go Porsche. My body needs a comfortable daily

The Cayenne is a great idea until the glass roof gets chipped by a rock. I think it’s 12k. Had a friend that had one(Turbo S) and the roof got replaced twice under warranty...

E30, though at that price not really. I’d also not spend that on the cayenne

The only E30 I want is the M3. I used to ride to school in one of the normal ones in the 80's and I am not impressed.

Yep, but at least you’ll have a car that’s easy to fix when it does break. So there’s that.

I’llhave 3! If we’re keeping cars we already own in this scenario.
