[BMWCSRegistry] General input sought

[Kevin Bobb]

Dear Coupers,

In the on going negotiation for a 72 CSA coupe I need the following
input:

Automatic vs 4 speed Does a automatic take away in value and if so, by
how much +/-  I have read all about the automatic not being a good match
with the motor.

Is a sunroof a detriment or value?

Repaint  Car was repainted a different color (white) from the original
Silver.  I know that individual taste plays a part, but is a repaint
verses an original color a detriment?

Slight damage from rear ending another car   The front end has been
damaged, although slightly, it has been wrecked, if you are going to do
a restoration does it make sense to start with a car with slight damage?
If so, how much does it ultimately reduce the potential value?

Has anyone had their wood dash redone in the last few years?  What
should I expect for a renovation of a "fair" dash?

The car is somewhat disassembled but seems to be all there.

Any additional input in negotiation would be beneficial.

Dumb questions? Maybe, but that is why I pose them to the knowledge base
here.

Thanks
