An e21 owner offered $800 and he would most likely pay more. Guys that restore e21 want them to look original and these am/fm were thrown into the trash years ago for cassette player and later CD player so not many have original working am/fm radio. I would keep original radio and add a modern in glove box or somewhere if you need modern CD player. The value of this car is the original near perfect interior. Nobody has great original 34 year exterior unless recently restored and if I had restored the exterior my expected selling price would be $10. 00 not $5. 00. so except for no rust the exterior is not as much of a factor in buying a collector car. BTW no rust anywhere on this car that requires metal work. There is surface rust that will only require sanding and paint on one side of the trunk channel from leaves left in channel On Apr-08-15 at 08:09:13 PDT. seller added the following information:google bring a trailer dot com. extra clean e21Here is what I am talking about when looking for e21.
