M3 Lightweight
Due to various factors, I am looking at selling the M3 Lightweight.
1995, about 58K miles (have to go out and check for exact number). Third owner. First was a lady in Norther CA who bought it and used it as a daily driver. Second was Rich Beebe, who bought it and brought it East. It is currently set up for autocross: Koni DA Shocks H&R Sport Springs UUC Sway Bars UUC Short Shifter Borla muffler Conforti chip 96+ hats swapped for more negative camber Schroth 4 point harnesses (red - both driver and passenger) Have all the stock parts that were removed for above setup. It does not have AC, but does have an aftermarket radio installed. The rear speakers are out of the car, but included (they make it hard to get to the top of the shocks to adjust them). The water pump and thermostat housing have been changed. It has wing, with spacers, X-brace, strut bar installed. The special LTW oil pan and pump are included (with all the parts) but not installed. It does NOT have the LTW splitter, but last time I checked, that was still available from Turner. Comes with the stock wheels, with 2 extra fronts (one is the "spare" and one extra). Also comes with a set of Kosei K-1 wheels with some VERY old Ho-Ho tires. Two spacers for the rear are included (I can't remember the thickness, but appropriate for the setup). I am going to start high at $60,000. I figured give the Carmudgeons first shot.

I had no idea what the market value was for these cars. Wow! But it certainly is unique. Do you have any pics?

If you returned it to stock, what would EAG give you?

I would think EAG would want to give you as little as possible, then turn around and charge an arm and a leg for it.
But maybe I'm just in a very bad mood today

Well, that is pretty much the strategy of every used car dealer.

As a rule, EAG has been willing to buy cars for strong prices on the private party market. Then they spend a couple bucks cleaning them up and resell for $10k+ more. It's a good business if you can make it work.
