Now THIS Is How You Sell an E36 M3
Now THIS Is How You Sell an E36 M3-September 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:09:45

From our own Aaron Brown, who has a daily Craigslist search alert set up for “Cheap M3s under $4,000,” comes the most brilliantly brazen for-sale ad I think I’ve ever seen. Forget the and . This is how you sell a car.

The ad out of is simple: It’s titled “Bmw m3 - $2000" and the description is just “97 crashed m34dr5sd” (self expalanatory, really) and a parts list, “Uuc clutch kit single mass fly 210mm rear dif from e32v12.” That’s it. Well, that and two pics of it crashed in a ditch.

Somebody wants this thing gone so badly, gives so few fucks about it, that they just listed it with crash pics and all. No obfuscating, no writing at length about how it has “mild frame damage” and “a few dings here and there, not bad for its age.” Nah, my dude! It’s like “Here’s my damned crashed car. You gonna buy it or what?”

In one of the pics, the M3 is laying on its side. Just incredible. You seldom encounter such refreshing honesty anywhere, anymore. The last car I bought on Craigslist had a ton of defective shit that was supposed to be “new” and “recently fixed.” This? With this, you know what you’re getting.

While it’s sad that the E36 M3 continues to be the trash boy of the BMW world—all cheap tuner specials, would-be drift missiles and badly half-finished—it is a good car, even an underrated one. Give this one a shot, perhaps. Would that everyone on the internet could be this transparent.

Let’s cut right to the chase: buying a is not a good idea unless you have deep enough pockets for the upkeep. For those not in the know, they’re sirens. They draw you in with their premium Italian image and sweet songs of and then go in for the...

At $950, Would You Go All-In On This 1984 Plymouth Colt GTS Turbo Project?
One of the calling cards of today’s Plymouth Colt is its “Twin Stick” overdrive gear change, which gives the car eight speeds going forward and two in reverse. Let’s see if this project car has anything else to offer. Just as Goldilocks discovered when appropriating Papa Bear’s lifestyle and...

At $8,600, Would You Go Topless In This 1994 Cadillac Eldorado?
The seller of today’s Caddy claims they should be selling it at auction but says who’s got time for that? Let’s see if we have the time for this custom convertible at its non-auction price. Many of you agreed that the $950 asked for yesterday’s was “chump change.” Even...

At $5,900, Is This 1984 Nissan 720 4X4 A Solid Deal?
According to its seller, today’s Nissan 4X4 shows “pride of ownership.” Let’s see if it would take swallowing one’s pride to pay its asking price. Opinions were split on how well the design of yesterday’s has held up over the years. Some of you commented that the design still...

At $18,500, Would You Lean Toward Buying This 2022 Ford Mustang?
Today’s Mustang is being sold by a towing yard, which means it’s probably a lien sale. Let’s see if this clean title convertible is priced to put a new buyer on the hook. The general consensus on last Friday’s was that it would be the perfect car for someone...

Which One Of You Suckers Is Going To Pay Over $32,000 For A 25-Year-Old Toyota 4Runner
The (and Tacoma) have a death grip on used values. It’s been this way for years. Go ahead, go try and buy any TRD trim that’s a couple of years old; it’ll cost you as much as a new one — not that you could buy a new one...
