Recently imported 323I from Germany. Super clean. Not sure if it's worth $11k, but it's drat pretty. http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/cto/4000182194.html

Half that is still laughable. Crap motor, base model, literally the least desirable e30 colour. I owned an imported 325iX in MINT shape. The guy bought it for 800 pounds with full history, got it shipped over and fixed a few minor issues. Then I bought it for 4000.

Those 323i heads (771 casting?)are supposed to be pretty good for making eta stroker motors, not sure if they're better flowing than just a m20b25 head though.

Something ok for 10-15k. Something nice for 15-20k. And then anything above 20k starts going into low mileage, restored, etc quality. 38k is pretty drat expensive for an e30 m3 though.

That lovely dealership in Houston is still trying to sell the Fairmont Durango they got a couple of years ago. They've been reposting the ad every two weeks and I don't think the price has changed yet. I'd be interested, but probably not for over $3k. http://houston.craigslist.org/ctd/3986037564.html   And if you're interested in an old Fairmont for your 302, this is probably a cheaper idea (although it's still way too much). austin.craigslist.org/cto/3920496037.html  edit Whoa, this might be the scariest ambulance I've ever seen. Looks like it's going to eat you. http://houston.craigslist.org/cto/3937357060.html  And, it's Texas, so he's willing to trade for guns. edit edit One more. Too bad about the price, I'd buy it just for the interior. http://houston.craigslist.org/cto/3977800266.html

 I didn't think people ordinarily sold stuff like this on Craigslist. Edit: Is this a grey-market M 635csi, or did someone stick M badges on a 635csi to try to make people think it was an M6?

The MSRP on that thing was only $110k new, so he's asking rather a lot of money for it considering it has less horsepower than a Mustang GT. By comparison a 2008 Mercedes SL(probably a better car objectively) had a similar MSRP when new and you can get those for about $30k all day.

What? Search "Ferrari" or "Rolls Royce" or "Patek Phillipe" people sell everything like this on craigslist. It makes perfect sense, there are no fees or commissions and you can take your time.

Since when has "objectively better" every been a variable in car pricing? He wants way too much, but a Mustang GT has more horse power than a Ferrari GTO, is that really relevant?

They look amazing and are sporty in a comfortable way compared to the ruthless nature of Ferrari, they're big, fast grand tourers. Kinda exactly like Aston Martin, with the same reliability and maintenance cost issues, but made in stylish Italy rather than stodgy Britain.

And then anything above 20k starts going into low mileage, restored, etc quality. 38k is pretty drat expensive for an e30 m3 though. Not anymore. Good luck finding any e30 m3 for under $15k. Any good condition one is gonna go for $25k easy. Here is a good example. That shop deals with a lot of really nice BMW's(the owner has 8 CSL's and 2 m1's) and all of the e30 M3's are in that price range. I would not be surprised to see low mileage examples going for $38k. I stumbled across 5 liter turbo v8 swapped e30. Too bad the put a c3 transmission in it instead of a 5spd, but still must be insane to drive.

Did he swap late model bumpers on that thing or are those aftermarket? I thought it was a PITA to put the late model bumpers on 86s. Definitely giving me ideas for stuff to do to my 86 325es down the line though.

And, to be fair, when that car launched your choices for a good looking 4 door sports car were limited to, uh, that car. The Panamera makes people want to wretch and the m5/s65 aren't exactly stylish. The Tesla, Rapide and XFR-S didn't exist then. And, at $25k today, they offer a pretty solid value. In as much as any Italian can be, at least.

It just seems odd for the person with the Maserati to do the same "go parks the car by a vineyard or something and take a couple photos, write a bit, and throw it up there" thing as the person selling a Miata.
