Hello all, I do appreciate any constructive help that any of you can help with.
A couple of details...I am in the market for a new car and I have always loved the E36 3 series sedans (ya I am/was looking for a nice 4 door, comfy ride but still stylish). I live in Canada and am a bit concerned about the rear wheel drive for winters but i will probably be able to manage. most of the 3 series (318i, 320, 323) that i have been looking at have over 120,000 miles and they want around $3500+.
I was never looking for a car with alot of power because I do a fair bit of driving to work and with gas prices am a bit concerned about the fuel economy (thats why i was looking at the 318 and 320's). However I just came across a deal that I think seems to be pretty hard to pass up.
it is a 1992 BMW M3 with just over 60,000 miles (108,000KM) Auto (blaaa i know you got all that power and its auto...) 2 door coupe. Guy has to leave the country soon and needs to get rid of it. He told $4000 was as low as he will go. Would I be stupid not to buy this? What are similar vehicles going for in your area's? my first thought is to just buy it and have some fun for the summer, but I am just wondering about resale, this is the only M3 i have seen online within a 300 mile radius from me.
Thank you for all your help.
Dave
