I see it was casual Friday?
Or you're a lumber jack.

Someone keeps flagging it not sure why.

3.8 M5
I saw the ad. He doesn't need to sell it just wanting to see if people will offer him big dollars. He is asking $32k. Todd (tcd) bought the exact same car color and all with 20k miles more for $14k a few years back. I think this guy has pipe dreams for the asking price.

I have seen this car in the driveway of a house down the street from mine for the longest time. It's now for sale.
Earl will love it for sure (besides the rust)!!!
I drove by this car last Friday while going to Avenue Liquor. Looked like a pile!

One just sold for 28k with 134k miles same color but leather interior and a 1993. Look up the prices of them in Germany. Plus the federalizations and importation fees. Find me another one for sale in America at the moment. The car is worth what ever someone is willing to pay.

And less then 3000 made in LHD. I think that price is fair.

You could also buy a lower mileage E30 M3 for 10-15K a few years back and now look at the prices. It doesn't seem too bad of a price for a stock lower mileage euro spec M5.

At minimum he needs a proper ad and many pictures to have a chance at selling it for close to asking.

good deal on a cool RHD e30 touring:

can't imagine how fun it would be to take people on rides - let them walk to the car first and try and get in on the "passenger side"

Man that's a steal! Overstated his hp ratings by a bit though.
I doubt a healthy 2.5L M20 could put down 145 whp. haha

Interesting, and I would have agreed up until a few years ago. But NASA Spec E30 series cars with the stock m20 and stock chip are now HP limited to 160.9 hp at the wheels (e.g., standard was set using fresh rebuild and max allowable overbore of 0.020 and allowable balancing). Plus hp and torque curves have to match a baseline standard set by the series. Folks with creative engine building on the west coast were pushing the na m20 into the high 160s and low 170s at the wheels which led to the HP rule. Series is trying to avoid the Spec Miata $10k engine build wars.
NASA Midwest Region folks in SE30 are dynoing in the mid140s to mid-150s whp. I need to dyno mine...I'd like to think a tired engine is why I'm slow but I doubt it.
One of the faster guys in our group only dynos in the mid-140s, and two weeks ago ran a 2:46 at Road America during a race. Not bad for a stock m20 with around 155k on the engine, car weight with driver at no less than 2700 (he comes in at around 2730), the pretty soft required suspension package (Bilstein sports and H&R race springs), and the required 205/50/15 Toyo RRs. -
^interesting, is spec Miata not as heavily regulated or...?
