    To be honest TJ, and not to slam you, it really depends on who it's worth that much to. I think if I had the money to spend on such a car, I would buy this instead of an M3. And no, not just because it was Jordan's. Because it would be damn near impossible to find an M3 in as good of condition as this car, and because while M3's are the fucking business, when something goes wrong with it, and it will, Jordan's car would cost a hell of a lot less to fix than the M3.

    Maybe I'm crazy, and I could be wrong, but that's just my thoughts on it. At this point, the only thing an M3 has on this car is fender flares and an S14. Now while I know people will say that's what matters, I guess all I can say is different strokes for different folks. I also don't think I can fully explain what I'm trying to say, lol. :D
    I'm biased - but:
    - it has lower production numbers; you don't see jordans car on the cover of hemmings motor news do you?
    -It's not impossible to find an m3 in this condition, but you're going to have to pay out the ass for it. I will agree that you will not find an m3 as clean as that car for the money, but you have to pay to play if you want to buy one of the clean ones that are out there.
    - I agree on the fact that the car would cost a whole lot less to maintain, as shit does break and does happen. However, cost shouldn't really be an issue since we're talking about pristine examples - right? cost just comes with the territory...
    - I think the car is pretty tastefully modified, personally. I know it was done right (at least 90% of it) and that's more than one can say for 99% of the cars on the road. Truth be told it does weigh a lot with all the add-on's, and 'the motor doesn't totally make up for weight... Maybe I am jaded about this, but doesn't anyone else look at it and say, "that's a really nice modded 87' 325is"? Truly, that's exactly what it is. My parents have one sitting in their driveway. It's a fun little car, but it's an 87' 325is with a bored out motor and a body kit and it's extremely clean (by clean i mean dirt free).

    - as always, something is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it. I have no problem with him asking outrageous prices - it just made my car more valuable.

      Weird, I came to the same conclusion. I think having his mom's e36 around kinda affected his choices....

        I would certainly hope many of you wouldn't buy an e30 (other then an m3) if you had 20k laying around.

          It's a nice well built car. Is it worth $20k? no. But all the cars at Mcars are way overpriced. I'm sure you could get the price down if you were serious about the car.... but I doubt any are ;)

              Funny thing is I was going to tell people to look up at your Sig for an E30 that I felt was done right. If I was paying that kind of money I would want the car to look like yours. Your car is what I mean by a German muscle car, totally bad ass. The E36 lines just don't go with E30 lines and to me this car is way over done, It wasn't thought out, just throw these side skirts on because there custom and I'm trying to build the coolest E30 ever and in the end the car looks stupid...kinda like a Nissan Sentra.
