Alpina Market Watch

I've updated the initial post with a summary of all the cars in this thread - I'll try to keep it updated but it may lag a little behind the thread

Perhaps indicate in the first post which are trade and which are private sales - we all know that dealers have a mark-up, but with having both in the mix, it tends to confuse the market trends and obfuscate the actual values ?

Also, quick question - are you tracking separately, or are you linked into the German register (can't recall the guy's name)?

I'll add a T/P after the price to indicate this

I'm in touch with Kees from Alpina-Archive and keep him updated with anything I find regarding the RHD cars and he lets me know if he finds out anything of interest

It's another example that shows that Alpina prices are on the up, #192 was up for sale by Stratstone in Feb 2014 with 74,000 miles for just under £12k, they then increased the price by a few hundred in March 2014 and sold her, now here she is, over two years later at 78,000 miles, up for £14k at a non-BMW dealer

Not that I'm complaining about stronger prices...

Can you guys help me price up my Alpina Roadster S #116?

It is a 2004 Alpina blue with 118k on the clock. I bought it with 60k and have owned it for nearly 8 years. Full service history with bmw specialists.

I have upgraded it with quaife diff, strong struts, koni ssk shocks with eibach springs (original springs also available).

I am thinking £11k, do you guys think I am in the right ball park?

Without all the add-ons, I would say 9k - 10k (depending on condition). With add-ons, I would say 11k would be about right.

(and if you plan on removing the quaife, let me know

)

Unfortunately, as with a lot of mods, the Quaife and StrongStrut won't add that much to the value if sold with the car - look at the modified Alpina recently sold by Projoy. IMO, the way to realise the maximum amount would be to sell them separately, this is easy for the StrongStrut (assuming you've kept the original firewall braces) and you could possibly do a straight diff swap with someone to sell the Quaife - it should fit any manual 3L e85.

Assuming the car is clean and tidy inside and out (and you put a bit of effort into presenting it well), looking at recent sales I'd be pitching it around £10,500 without the Quaife & StrongStrut - possibly advertising it at £10,750 and accepting anything over £10,300.

There's now 5 Roadsters for sale on ebay alone !!
And possibly a couple more on Pistonheads, Autotrader & the forum too.

(Why does everyone point them the same way to photograph them ? )
