I would say it is still overpriced by $2-3K but it is worth kicking the tires at $16K. I laugh when I see fools who think they can get $20+K for ordinary '95 M3's that were produced in large numbers. I won't pay it. I'm amazed the old E30 M3 can still sell for $15+K but it was produced in way fewer numbers. P.S. This Autotrader ad says you can get a "free" Carfax report for this M3. But when I click on the "free" button, I get sent to another link and have to pay $24.99 for it. Is there some trick I am missing?
