Friend just bought a 2004 M3 6speed for 21k taxed in. Clean with no accidents
Price is dropping for M3's but even if it's cheap to buy, the maintenance and parts are still expensive..

^ sounds like a good buy imo.
but 14k for a M3?  although i do like this purple..
dont bother with SMG cars (unless we're talking about the E9x twin clutch..)
you should see the repair bill for a SMG clutch replacement for an E60 M5... and these old single clutch gearboxes arent really the most reliable things out there.
best bet for an E46 M3 is a Six speed manual. theyre great cars to own for around 20ish k

Hopefully some kid buys it and spins it into a ditch that way it'll go to a good cause.

Apparently I know the original owner of this car, I was showing it to some friends, and he was like "OMG that was my car! I special-ordered that color!"
He's considering re-buying it now.
