Is that considered a good deal?

[Boris3]

I defer to the e36M3 experts. Depends I guess on how well it was taken care of. Extensive maintenance and enthusiast owner(s) on a 200k car versus multiple owners, with a fair share of hooners, and beat up at 200k. Not enough detail in the ad to suggest the former.

I'd say it's a pretty good deal if it is fairly well maintained, but not a steal considering the mileage unless you knocked the seller down into the 4.5k and below range. Cars with around that mileage and in decent condition seem to be going for 5-6k, from what ive seen.

I am sad that I missed out on that round of license plates.

I would say no after seeing the stick on fender vents, I would assume the owner is just as careless as he is tastless.

I was gonna say - I've had a chance to scoop up a beat 200k+ E36 M3 for $2500.

The one above seems to be in better condition though... even with no exhaust tips.

I've looked at that ad numerous and that pic always takes me by surprise.

Proof that the car is a pussy magnet maybe?

Seems like a slip of the finger while selecting images to upload to CL from the phone. Id like to believe that was the case for an FX35 I saw a few months ago with a random pic of a guy riding up an airport escalator
