Hello, I'm relatively new to the forums when it comes to posts :redspot
But, I've read about every turbo-DIY post and everything in the FI section, and I plan to be more active here as I seem to be getting a more social feel here in the forums. Well, here goes my WTB:

1995-1999 BMW M3
Less than or equal to $6,000
Non-convertible
Manual
Less than 150,000 miles

I know it is kind of strict, but being in mechanical engineering and sort of OCD when it comes to buying stuff, I've made up my mind. I also know it is a low price, but I'm hoping to get a car that has been slightly abused or track raced to lower the price. I can do minor bodywork, but I don't have the time/money to correct any frame or major problems. Safety is a major thing to me, and the air-bags need to be there. Just give me a link or PM to a post, and I'll reply back, usually same day.

One more thing. Location is important, so anywhere in the following states:
Missouri, Illinois, Kansas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Iowa, Kentucky

I would be interested in reading for-sale articles from Texas, Alabama, and Georgia.

Thank you for your interest, and wish me luck in finding a car! :D

I understand where you are coming from, but I think that I do have a slight chance of finding what I'm looking for, depending on its current condition. Someone, somewhere, has to have a M3 project that they gave up on and wants to sell, or a damaged M3 with minor repairs. And I want to be that buyer :alright.

Believe me, if I could afford your car, I wouldn't have even made this post. I have no intention of asking you to lower your price. Your car is deserving of your price, but I simply cannot afford it. Sadly, my maximum is $6,000, and at this time, it even kills me to get that much. As of right now, I can't even rely on my daily driver much. Having to set back money in the case that my D-Driver dies is really putting a stranglehold on my M3 budget. I do hope that either my D-Driver is fixable so I can get back to my M3 dream :)

Ahh I see, I should be going to Mizzou for college here in about a year.

Why dont ypu but a little $1500 civic, and save your money to get a nicer m3. You wouldnt have much maintenance to spend on...Just a thought! GL

That is what my 1994 Subaru Legacy was for. Bought it for $800 bucks after insurance claimed it on a flood, put some tires and some other little stuff, and got 40k miles out of it so far :)

Thank you for the offer, but California is too far out of my reach :(
