I bought a wrecked 93 325is for $300. Had a rebuilt engine and mint black leather sport interior. Probably made $5k off that car.
Anyway, get a membership, and look for cars that were minimally wrecked, preferably e30's since you know enough about them. You can get them for a couple hundred, flip them and make at least $1k per car. Or part them out and make more.
You wouldn't believe the number of people that live off of buying newer wrecked cars and fixing them. Buy 1 car wrecked in the front, 1 car wrecked in the back. Combine them, and sell it to make 5x profit. you also wouldn't believe the amount of people buying these cars without checking the history. It's simple enough to get around r-titles by transferring to friends in certain other states then back again.

All it does is raise the price of parts for everyone else.

If anyone needs work done on their E30 in SoCal, I know a great factory trained BMW tech or two who does work for a very reasonable price with all OEM parts. :cough cough cough:

Best one-liner of the day, especially since Kellie set herself up for that one.
And I smirked @ slapnuts, kinda a throwback term - like when something was "puss" - but I bet some of the kiddies never even heard that before.
It's not how you handle the good times, but the faith you keep in the bad that defines you.

AFAIK membership is still expensive, and you need a trailer, and be present at the auction, so it's not like any Joe (no pun intended) can easily get a car.
