NMNA 1998 M3

The one owner is 98 years old, his family took his keys.  Interior is nice, he was likely the only person ever in it.  Tires are from 08, stored in a moist environment, there are some bubbles and crust underneath, not from salted roads.

Drives like new, all service done at a dealer or German Auto Service.

Currently sitting at a body shop that I frequent.   I can get more pics if needed.

If that was close, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

I'm very close, have garage space and think that I could sweet talk them down to $5500 or less.  Please ask me to test drive it, I'll get interior pics later today, I'll drive by it six more times today.

In reply to dyintorace :

I'll drive it down to you for expenses once travel is safer. 

Chrome kidneys?

I want that bad.

if that's a manual trans, it's a steal.

if it's an automatic, it's worth buying and converting to manual.

Does chrome kidneys indicate a trim package?

Clean, almost me wear.

No wear on the manual gear selector.

I think it would indicate a specific selection when it was bought or replaced at some point? I though all the trim on an E36 M3 would be shadowline. From Googling while typing this it would seem I'm wrong about that. Plenty of E36 M3s with chrome kidneys.

Typical

It purrs.

Who wants me to offer $5500?  

I want you to, cause I want to see it on GRM. That's a great car for the price.

I'm pretty sure he means "who wants me to offer $5500 as proxy for you, the actual purchaser".

Also, holy crap yes that's a great price for that car.  I sold my crashed 200k POS '95 ///M for $2750 3 years ago, and the tide has certainly risen on these cars since then.

Well aware, and wish it could/would be me - I think this would be great, but it would need to take the place of (and, at cost), the 318ti and the new Miata.

What is a nice E36 M3ty black interior worth?  

Damn... if I had room for it, I'd definitely make an offer.  A relatively clean and unmodified M3 is getting harder to find. Many of us will regret having to let this one get away.  Even if it does need some rust repair and a respray.  I'd probably leave it as original as possible.
