The underside isn't bad for a car that age. At least what I saw.

Total tab is around $800 after tags/title and goodies that have gone into it. I am hoping to break even on the sale, but if not then I'll consider my loss, payment for driving this thing for the past 700 miles in 2 weeks. It ''twas fun while it lasted

Well that took a far turn. Confusedhock:

Like DJ said we live and learn. I didn't listen to everyone when they told me not to by a POS E30 (but still somehow made some money on him).

That ship has sailed. Too pricey for a good one and the ones that aren't pricey are big ole POS. I got lucky but I have been searching for months, had the cash, and drove 1300 miles to pick it up and bring it home on Friday night after it being listed Thursday night.


Much better deals on E46 M3s to be had.

Yeahhhhh but the whole subframe falling apart and rod bearings is a big turn off for me. Other than that though..!
