2000 Prelude SH - 156xxxkm - $5K

https://images.craigslist.org/00g0g_...Yr_600x450.jpg

0 rust, new tires, motor/ clutch/ timing belt/wp all replaced. Says there's 156xxx on the drive train, if new motor, it'll be worth checking out what's the mileage on the motor and who did the swap. Defs a better buy than that shitty 7th gen that I posted earlier.

2002 E46 M3 - LSB - 6MT - 180xxx km - $24K

https://images.craigslist.org/00L0L_...OI_600x450.jpg

For the price of a stock one, you can have a LSB one with a stage 1 supercharger! Not a fan of the eonon headunit. Eonon is a terrible headunit, known to fail right out of the box. I'd strongly recommend to replace that.

Looks like the most important things have already been done, like the subframe has been reinforced, and VANOS has been refreshed. I don't know much about the S54 motors, but like all e46s, its important to factor in the cost of cooling overhaul that you know you'll have to do.

If the m3 is in good shape, buying it and selling that supercharger would net you a great deal.

i can't figure out why that car didn't sell last year. it was for sale for ages. Some people don't like free mods I guess.

Needs OEM 19's

Double hmmm No mention of mileage on the car. I hate it when people list without actual mileage

"only 156km on drive train (have proof of mileage)"

This car was originally silver, but repainted LSB, including the engine bay. So the LSB is not OEM factory.

This could be a reason why it hasn't sold yet

These are back again. E9x M3's.
Anybody got anything to say about this dealer? Never bought used cars from dealers.

With more s2k's going over 30g, and E9x m3's going under 30g, I am considering these cars (even though they are so different). Only thing stopping me is the rod bearings...:okay::moderatorban::moderatorban::mode ratorban:

I messaged this guy 3 weeks ago about the sedan. I had some questions about the cars history, and after a few back and forth questions, he told me that he already has a buyer for it. That was on March 3rd

I don't know enough about these specific dealers.

Previously owned an AP1 S2K and currently have an E92 M3. The cars are different but similar in many ways, in that the power is at the upper end and you need to rev out the engines. M3 is obviously heavier and more "GT" feeling. M3 maintenance costs are much higher and you lose the Honda reliability. Both are a ton of fun and more analog feeling than modern cars.

IMO both the M3 and S2K are good choices--if I were you, whichever you come across first as a pristine/good example PPI, then pull the trigger.

Thanks. Any thoughts on the rod bearing issue? The only thing holding me back (other than cash...)

No major issues on the M3? Rod bearing issue scares me...

I'm doing regular oil changes with the M-specific blend and sending oil samples to Blackstone labs (though some folks on other forums have questioned whether the oil analysis will help or not in terms of providing a warning sign on the rod bearings).

Had a throttle actuator go out, which is a common point of failure on the cars.
