Saw an ad for a silver 98 M3 sedan on NH craigslist this past week. The price is what really caught my attention-$5400. It's even a manual! The mileage was kinda high (170k or so), but if it's in good shape, who cares! Did anyone check it out?

someone buy it and sell the engine to me

Where's the link?

I haven't seen an E36 M3 for sale that wasn't automatic or a complete toilet in a while.

I bet it's a rust bucket.

That price it must need a Vanos replacement. And it's rusty we know N.H.

That price seems about right for a 10 year old M3 with 170k :dunno

Is that really a good price?

It's quite cheap, even for them mileage; I also don't know anything of the history and what the underside looks like so I could be way off...

That's pretty cheap if it's not a rat. A nice one with high mileage is still usually at least $6500-7000 or better. I haven't seen many good cars under $7k, honestly.

Its a dealer they got it at auction, you need an extensive work up and diagnostics to find out what truly is wrong with the M3, they never give auction cars a good inspection, god only knows what's wrong with it, but I bet they don't

that is high. i've seen a bunch of E36 M3s down here in providence for about $1k more with about 30-50k less miles.

i went and looked at it its not bad

might be salvage?

I really doubt there's anything wrong with it, except it's a 98 with 170k. They probably bought it at auction for 3k and are trying to make a couple grand on it. E36 M3's aren't worth much anymore especially in this economy.

perhaps sometimes we forget that WE are the only ones stupid enough to see a 10 year old german supercar with 170,000 miles and think that, even for pennies, it's a "smart decision"

dibs :)

So who busted out there $$ for it?

They still have it. Im goin up tommorrow or monday with cash in hand to see it. Its just not on the lot right now because its getting a new steering rack and a couple other odds and ends. If it truely is nice like they say it is....its as good as mine.

Don't even think about paying asking price for it....

5400 is not that cheap for an e36 with 169k on it. quit being fan boiz :stickoutt
