    WTB: M3 rear sway bar.

    I just found a front convertable sway in a bone yard, now I'm looking for the M3 rear.

    I have one with endlinks and bushings. You will just need to reuse your bolts/nuts.
    How's $80 + shipping sound?

    *EDIT* SOLD

      Original or new bushings and endlinks?

        They are original.

          Thanks but I'm going to keep looking, ~$50 seems to be the going rate and 15y/o rubber isn't worth the premium to me.

              $50 your going rate?? No wonder you haven't found any. I'll take one at $50 too.

                I bought one for 40 dollars shipped. Don't worry they're out there.

                  we are talking about a 14.5mm OEM bar, its not a very exceptional piece of hardware. I got the $50 number by searching old FS posts, take a look they usually go for $40-60. For $80 plus shipping I mine as well spend a few more bucks and go aftermarket.

                      Just for perspective OK?

                      I've got one too. I'd want to clear $30 for it but to ship to the east coast would cost that much again. New links and rubber from Pelican will run about $40 shipped. I'd think it unlikely that you'll find a shipped 14.5 mm bar with new rubber and links for less than a c-note. You can't really expect a guy to take the time to pull the part, pack it and get it shipped for ten bucks.
                      Let's go exploring!

                        I understand what you are saying but I think I'll find one for $50 or so because I'm not in a big rush. I found my front 325ic bar for $20 and i've found a couple people selling rear bars for ~$50 but they've been dragging their feet closing the deal. Again, i'm not in a rush, no big deal.

                        if someone were selling a rear bar with new(er) bushings and endlinks I would be willing to pay more I just don't see the value in paying more money for one with 20 year bushings and endlinks because the rubber wears out and should be replaced.
