E36 M3 question

[surfnskate]

Hi, i have a 95 325i vert and it is pretty nice. it needs work but i love it. my dream car is an e36 m3 5-speed coupe and i was wondering if i would be able to find one for around 4k? mid condition that runs good (not perfect) and looks not like a junker. kind of a far fetched idea so ive heard, but what do you guys think? do any of you have one? or know of one, or am i just crazy? thanks.

You're certifiably insane. Kindly drive to your nearest insane asylum and deposit yourself, making sure not to ram your car into any unsuspecting and innocent crowds of young children and mothers on the way. Also, please remember to leave the keys in the right rear tire well and let me know so I can come pick up your car.

LOL - Best quote from Ohnoes in a long time...

...and he's totally correct. You can barely buy the motor for that...

Keep saving!

For 8K (if even that) will get you a 150k+ miles 1995 or 1996 M3 thats bound to have problems. Try looking for a salvage title perhaps?

easy guys, lets keep the milk out of the nasal path. the kid has dreams and nothing wrong with simply replying "keep saving your money". Just keep saving your money and wait for something that YOU will enjoy. Don't just buy something because that's the only amount of money you have.. save up, get something you'll really really be proud of. Whatever you do, never take out a loan on a "toy", they are the worst investment ever. Most people obviously don't get cars, motorcycles, trucks, atv's, etc. for investment purposes, its more of a hobby and the excitement that comes with it. Anyway, BUY something right out, therefore it is yours and nothing belongs to the bank. best of luck in your search!

[surfnskate]

Clean title I saw it. It has a few scratches on the side that needed to be touched up, no biggy. Dealer.. no.
My friend, who is a member of bimmerforums has been friends with this guy for a while. He heard he was selling and worked out a great deal with the guy. This car is for his girl who is gonna have a bad ass e36. Already ordered a bunch of stuff I.. strut bar, suspension, and I think she wants to go gold wheels. I'm pretty jealous.

Gold wheels? Now I'm blowing milk out my nose.

[ogwap]

haha, you're jealous of a girl.

[maskellBYAH]

haha, you're jealous of a girl.

Actually my guy friend found the car for her, seeing as she's his girl.
