Trading Evo IX For E36 M3 Tomorrow

I'm selling my Evo IX to a dealer for $20,500 and buying a black 1995 E36 M3 off them.... 112K miles 5spd...

I had my fun with the Evo but I want to cut down on work so I can go back to school....

I have big plans for this car since I'm getting it for so cheap.... And I wont have to be worried about payments...

My plans are BBS RS wheels, coilovers, tints, lip, redo interior, roll cage, fix some rust, and later get a custom turbo kit for it...

Here it is




Here are some examples of how I want to make it look...





And here is the Evo

i like the old M3, i had a yellow one SE, BUT you will not find a better platform car than evo, or as fast for the price range, plus the part prices are more expensive, but good luck with your M3 i am sure you will love the e36..

I had a E36 M3, I loved it until I blew the water pump and thermostat. I also enjoyed the bill I got for 1000 in parts and labor. GL with it.

Just make sure the dealer actually gives you 20,500 for your trade. They will promise you anything just to get you in the door and get you to purchase a car from them...

My fathers friend owns a company who sells German car parts... I can get stock parts for this for dirt cheap...

I was at the dealer today and they loved my car... They were ready to give me the $20k that I wanted for it.... But they said they will not drop the price on the E36 M3 but said he will buy my car for $500 more... (same difference)...

I had a buyer ready to come from out of state but he backed out last minute... I rather sell the car now instead of keeping it for any longer and let the price come down even more... Plus I wont have any payments with this car...

The green one is the *****.

I had one, it was sweet at the time, until Evos came around and what once was fast was suddenly...not so much. My ECU crapped out, twice...a huge PIA. Plus it sucked in the snow. Other than that really loved it.

I hope to build a E30 NA for my next project.

6K ???
