I've been offered an even swap, my car for his car. I have a 1993 BMW 535, mint condition. He has a 1976 Turbo 911 Cabriolet, 5 speed (from another car?) with the right rear frame cracked. The superficial damage has been repaired but looking undreneath, there appears to be cracks in the frame and wrinkled sheet metal.
What is the value of each car and is it worth an even swap?

I have never heard of a 1976 Turbo Cab... I had a turbo cab in 1989 and I beleive that was the first year they made them.Also the 5 speed was 1988 I think...though I could be wrong on all accounts I would have to say there was no cab in 1976 period...I would stay clear of that car with the other problems you have described.

As a rule I dont buy (or trade) any vehicle that has cracks or wrinkles. Your BMW is a great car especially if it has a manual transmission. This may be car that was made into a cab from a targa or coupe. If it was a good car it would be worth more than the BMW. I agree, RUN!!!!!
