Oh, and the asking price was just $14k for similar mileage.
I had two different e36 M3 verts in the past, I loved them both. I always thought the loosey gooseyness added to the 'engagement' and ability to have fun at real world speeds. This one is the color combo I'd order if I ever had the chance to get one new. I can't imagine it would depreciate at all from where it is today if the mileage was kept in check.


Having said all that, unfortunately... We just made our second semester college payment this week. It was more than this car
Our younger daughter is applying for colleges for next year, so I'll have three years of overlap with two kids in college at once.

Sadly nothing in my future for 5 yrs. *The word unfortunately referrs only to my inability to excercise my greedy consumerism. Of course it is WONDERFUL that I have two smart college age girls doing well and absorbing every penny we have at the moment.
