M3's cheap

[Lowm3]

Just searched for m3 on the trader

i was dazzled at how affordable they are, there are two phat e30 m3's under the 5k barrier, take a look

[jonb]

true

but probably dogs. loads of filler, tired engines, no history, clocked back etc...

[Lowm3]

Have you searchedd them jon? they both look awesome!! in black, ones wearing 17 or 18's and the other has bbs with black centres , similar to the checotto ( think thats spelt right ) .

steer clear of ones at that price, save and pay 7k or a bit more for a good one that doesn't have tsw venoms on it

Hmmm.

Well I decided when buying mine to buy the best I could afford. I paid over Ԛ£8K and its a good standard car. It hadnt been modified (save for a exhaust and a F strut brace. And its still cost me thousands in bills so far.

I do wonder sometimes if Id bought a cheaper one like the Autotrader examples whether I would have been up or down relatively at this time.

If you are going to buy a cheaper car, check it over properly. 1988 was 16-17 years ago, so theres a lot that can go wrong in that time. As with any car. Chck the usual damage/overall condition and pay accordingly. If you can find a Ԛ£5K thats been looked after properly, then its a better buy than the H Reg Ԛ£8K+ car thats missed services etc

Any questions post em up

[Lowm3]

cheers rich, will be out looking now

[c76jon]

theres no such thing as a cheap m3

itll cost you short term or long term or if you r really unlucky both!!
