2 and both were gutted. I need interior but not snow covered. The window and reg i needed happened to be gone from both:mad. Im honestly starting to get frusterated with the lack of parts. When i was dealing with vw's parts were hard to come by but there was a going rate. This is insane. I have been quoted 550 for M seats and everything but the doorpannels and dash. I have been quoted 750-1000 for a full interior and now i get a 950+shipping quote and when i try to get some details its like im asking for the world. What is the going rate for an interior? I can have my grey done..all pannels and seats for 1300 that comes with a carpet cleaning and if needed dye to get rid of the spots. Im thinking for a black leather i should be around 1000shipped depending on how nice and where its coming from.
Rant over.

Did you happen to see any E30s in that yard in Dacono?

There were a few but That place is over priced. I was looking for a bed for my truck and they wanted $1000 for one! Bed sides are 200 new.
We went to some hole in the wall tow yard after blakes. They had an e30 that was almost a full car. 2dr 6cylinder(old style 6) and full interior. Nothing super nice but it was at elliots. I cant remember the name of the street but take 52 east and as you get in to dacono theres a shell on the right. Turn Right at the stop light and fallow it around. Theres a towyard on the right. My friend drug us in there and we were able to walk the lot. I think there may have been 2 but cant remember much about the 2nd one.

Maybe you need to recalibrate your expectations. BMW parts will cost more than VW parts.

Im not the normal VW guy. Im what you would call a rare part fiend. I dont mind paying for what i want. Hell id pay close to $2000 for a full perfect interior but the problem im having is that for what people are offering the prices seem to either be reasonable or way out in left field.
Prices for some worn 325 seats have been crazy some people think they have gold and some know its a worn seat. For a nice interior i would honestly jump on if the guy would get back to me on what the forsale price is and not 750-1000 id go for it. Theres other people selling seats that are worn like crazy selling them for 1300+ and want shipping on top of that.
Most car parts have the Going rate. you can expect to pay Xamount to XX amount for whatever. BMW seems to be the only one that doesnt have anything like that.
