e36 m3

[elariobordoni]

since my e30 got rear ended, ive been looking for something to replace it, mainly other e30's. nothing has really sparked my interest until i saw a 1996 e36 m3 for sale that was somewhat close to where i live.
i cant stand e36's but the m3 looks a little better to me and im sure performs a hell of a lot better. i am very clueless when it comes to the e36's though so i figured i'd ask you guys what you think. its a 1996 e36 m3, 159k on chassis, 70k on rebuilt motor, i havent seen it in person but there doesnt appear to be any rust, the exterior isnt perfect, but interior looks very good. i got the guy down to 3500 cash. is that a good investment, the car runs fine but needs a fan assembly and new radiator. are these cars reliable, is 70k on a rebuilt motor going to be alot? im just not sure about these but im very interested in the car.
thanks for any help

gotta see it to pass judgement. however, if you don't buy it, let me know. I will.

hmm. well im going to do a carfax when i get the vin# and try to get some more info as to why the guys selling it, why he rebuilt the engine etc and see where that takes me, even though it isnt an e30 i do like the look and the price is right
