Buying and e30 M3

[Teaguer]

For a complete beater with problems, even a blown S14, expect to pay up to $10k.

Sure they can maybe be found for slightly less but its better to have the extra funds ready when one pops up.

At this point "not rusty" seems to be around $15k. Honestly, if I'd been more rational about it at the beginning, I would have just plonked down $25k for a nice E30 M3 and been done with it.
