Buy my DSM for $3400, then use the other $4600 to fix it when it breaks. ---

I like your list… also maybe a Subaru 2.5RS, the generation now two previous? You can turbo those cars later, would be a fun ride… Audi, BMW would both be nice if you can do some of the work on them yourself to help out the maintenance costs. If you have a “real cheap” Bimmer hook up, I say… hook it up! ---

no offense, but you dont have the money to afford to fix any of those cars on your list when they do break. as your 8 g’s would be dumped into the initial purchase. timing belts/chains are no fun nor are they cheap on any of them, and these cars going used right now are around their service time, if not allready well overdue on it. you deffinitely picked nice cars on the list, not knocking them. but i wouldnt want to own any of them unless i got it at one hell of a deal , or it had a warranty. ---

> [@ZEXaccord](#): > > E36 M3 can easily be had for $8000 with a reasonable amount of miles. As far as reliability they did have some electrical gremlins in the earlier years of the E36. Just do the research and make sure you know what your getting into before the purchase. Stay away from the 95 M3’s(same year as mine) as they had issues with valve ticks and were 20HP less than the following years.(Difference in the heads) All e36 m3’s were rated at 240 hp…95’s do not have 20 hp less than 96-99. The biggest differences were that 95’s were 3.0 liters while 96-99 were 3.2’s, and 95’s were also obd1. ---
