A good, somewhat local deal.

I would rather take a sharp stick in the eye than drive a 1984 car paired to an automatic transmission

Another $3-400 and that could be fixed. Getting into a decent California car for around $1k is still a deal at that point.

Ugh.

I may be a bit naive but that seems pretty steep for that car. If it was all original I can see the value but in the collectors market any modifications devalues the car. Now i'll wait for the "omfg, thats a steal you buffoon!" Comments.

No thanks. Over priced. Would rather have a supercharged e46 m3 or a 996 911

Are you a serious car buff?

oh it's definitely wayyyy overpriced, BUT that doesn't change the fact that it would make an amazing track car and looks really good.

but yes, I'm currently looking for a dedicated track car that is much less collectible than an e30 m3. Most of the price in that listing is due to the fact that the car is in fact an E30 M3 chassis. You could strip 20k off the listing price if it were just a regular E30 with all that work done to it, lol.

I look at it as a pure track rat. I just wouldn't want to pay for an e30 m3 and risk crashing it as a DD driving around idiots on the street, so I'd never DD it like this guy does. Also not many people want to track a supercharged E46 m3. Most people who track leave them NA, like this guy, and destroy everyone:

I would totally rock an e46 m3 supercharged as a summer DD, however. That would be a ton of fun.
