Should I trade by 92 BMW for a honda/nissan?

have a 1992 bmw 325i 192,000 miles it has alot off upgrades it needs nothing it runs like a champ but im thinking in the future i know the parts are to expensive to repair the car has alot of upgrades done its probably worth 2000 dollars of upgrades not counting the rims it has 18" rims and custom blue paint recently put new shocks and struts in front and back it has a nice exaust system new leather inside a nice stereo system the rims alone cost 1400 an alarm system theres basically nothing wrong with the car it also has custom lights in the front and in the back but it has alot of miles i could probably find a trade for a newer honda or nissan so i need advise from bmw owners is it worth it to keep the bmw in the long run

You are never going to get back the money you put into that BMW in upgrades if you trade it in (or even if you sell it privately). That car, as a trade-in, no matter how nice, will MAYBE get you $2000, depending on how they fudge the numbers for you.

Your best bet, if you want to get out of that BMW and into a newer car, is to take off the upgrades and put it back to stock (if you can). Sell the extra stuff seperately, pocket the cash from those, and then either trade or sell your car privately. Without knowing exactly WHAT you have for wheels, exhaust and other stuff (the quality), you should get anywhere from $500-2000 just in parts, plus another $2-3k for your car.

I'm the owner of a 185k mile 1995 M3, so I understand totally that you are gonna need to replace things on that car often at this point! I would do what I suggest, and put it on a BMW-specific forum. Good luck.
