**german speed demon** · 10-21-2006, 08:57 AM

Hey all, i haven't posted in a LONG time, but i have been lurking. I'm starting to get interested in getting an e36.

Here's basically what i am looking for:

5 speed
2 doors
black or blue (preferably, BUT i know how to repaint)
less than 100K if possible, but not necessarry.

And, i'ld like to spend less than 2k, like I said, i know how to rebuild a body if i need to.

power options are whatever, i don't really need power windows, locks, ect.

any info or suggestions are good.

k thnx bye

Dave

whats up with people looking for cars with just 2k to spend? best your going to get is a 318 or something if it has to be around 100,000 miles. Maybe one thats been in a hail storm...

And as far as only spending 2k, you guys seriously need to READ the post. I have the knowledge and tools to rebuild an entire front end if need be. Come on guys...I said i would like to spend around 2k, I didn't say that's ALL i was going to spend if the right car came along.

^^^you said body, not front end, and just salvage a car if your looking for something cheap you can pour countless hours into working on and not driving.

**german speed demon** · 10-22-2006, 03:25 PM

front end is body work in my book. And the reason i don't do that is I would much rather have a clean title in hand than a slavage title.

I told you to go away. Too many haters here.

I'm not a hater. You met me in person, i just respond in kind when dipshits bust on me. I'm really serious about an e36, actually test drove a 325ic yesterday. If no one here is willing to take me seriously, I'll go elsewhere. I thought maybe a few people on here would offer some decent advice on what to check, look for, ect.

not at all, sorry if i said anything about spending money, i just saw the prices like that, if you are seriously considering doing some work on a car, i would recommend an auction

For 2k (or there-abouts) I'd be watching Craigs list and/or Ebay. As far as "salvage" cars - I wouldn't be too afraid of them, some are pretty good deals - not all of them are trashed refabs. Some are just insurance company auction cars (stolen recovery after Ins. company has already paid off the client. Auction cars, trade ins that have sat beyond "X" amount of time and title wasn't renewed.) Salvage titles differ between states & doesn't ness. mean it's been trashed beyond affordable repair.Some are drug dealer or crime vehicle confiscations

Seriously wtf ! What Asshole tells someoone to " Go Away" Sounds like a Someones got a 10 foot pole up their ass!

Other than that where are you looking what state? or are you in europe?

craig · 10-23-2006, 08:46 AM

yeah, check ebay. they is usualy always one on there with a bad front end going for about 2K(or less)

dude. I'm not hatin' on you. Just saying people seem to be hatin' on your thread.

Too bad your criteria are so specific. We could have worked out something around $2k for mine, but it is a 4-dr, Boston Green, with 197.2k miles on the odo.
