Summary

Plate BI4814IB check

This page is a short report on the car with plate BI4814IB — BMW 3 Series 1987, VIN WBAAA310809615969, mileage 200k km, petrol engine, manual gearbox and an asking price of $3,500. A plate check helps to quickly identify the car, see its market position and registration history before buying.

Insight: The car is over 15 years old — running costs are higher; the key inspection points are the body and anti-corrosion treatment. Low mileage for its age — the odometer reading is worth cross-checking with the history.

Market position

Based on current data, similar offers are available for the BMW 3 Series 1987 (same model, year ±2). Market prices range from $1,040 to $5,099 with a median of $2,000, and this offer is above the market: 75% over the median. This is not always a problem, but such a difference deserves extra attention to the car's condition, documents, registration history and value guidance.

Insight: The price is well above the market — only trim and condition can justify such a gap. Wide price spread — the final value depends heavily on trim, condition and mileage.

History & registrations

The report includes registration data: owners — 2, transfers — 1, plate changes — 0, years in the registry — under a year. The latest recorded operation: Sold to a new owner on 23.01.2024. This data helps to understand the car’s legal history before buying.

Insight: A moderate number of owners (2) — typical for the car’s age. There were transfers but the plate stayed the same — the history was not broken up by plate changes. The car appeared in Ukraine recently — the history is short, its origin matters.
