Somebody better buy this. If it's still selling when I go over to Victoria in Jan I'm probably going to succumb to my manual sport wagon boner and get it (wife has even signed off).

What would a "good deal" be on an average 08/09 E92 M3 coupe, 6MT. Fine with small accidents as long as properly repaired. As base as possible car would be preferred, any colour except black. ~100km.

I personally find E92 M3s not very fun.. too heavy to be agile, too little torque to move. Feels more like a cross between a AMG and an Audi RS.

| ? 2006 Saab 9'3 Aero Sport Combi Touring?
Always thought the SportCombi was/is a gorgeous looking wagon. Are parts hard to come by for these things? Price doesn't seem that unreasonable, for $8500 I think I'd be in.

It's not a 335 that can pick up 60hp for $500 but the biggest single improvement available to a 128/328 is a header. The factory design and OEM integrated cats are absolutely brutal, you either want an AA header ($$) or a SuperSprint header ($$$$). If you pair that with the OEM and plug and play N51 intake manifold and an off the shelf AA tune, you can expect an actual 25wtq improvement over much of the powerband.
I have the AA header and tune sitting in my garage, waiting for some time to install - my plan is to do a before and after dyno to truly establish what can be done with that header. I can't do the manifold for my class, I am expecting 15-20wtq improvement across much of the powerband without the manifold.

The msrp was 56k~57k+tax= 65~66k after tax?
now clearly he did not enjoy the vehicle and sell it to make couple k?
