I'm always confounded by these m3 conversion guys, mainly because (1) before I knew anything at all about cars(average person), I didn't know what an m3 really was or cared at all. (2) I still know almost jack poo poo about bmws but I know enough about cars in general that I can spot a real m3 from across a parking lot.
That car is made to impress people who don't really know what that trim level even means.

It's because if the could afford the wheels, tires AND body kit, they would have started with a nicer car.

kijiji is a much nicer layout and far better policed for scams. About the only thing Craigs is used for up here is for gay hook ups and hookers.

It's better policed for scams because hardly anyone is buying or selling on craigslist there, therefore there aren't enough people flagging scammers, and there are fewer people listing real vehicles which would dilute the scams.

Basically, it is popular because it is better and it is better because it is popular. At some point, Kijiji got a lead, for reasons which didn't necessarily have anything at all to do with how good it was (probably Craigslist's reluctance until recently to create areas specific to anything other than major cities), and that lead made it better because it meant there was more available on it.

There's a guy on my local CL trying to sell a 323GTX for $8k American, no wiggle room. That's like $5k more than it's worth. At least the one you posted is reasonable.

There is certainly some truth to that, but the Kijiji ad system has automatic checks for spamming/scam ads and simply won't let you place a free ad if it falls in some of its criteria. I know because I tried to place a couple of ads once and wouldn't let me until I change quite a few things.

First, that engine isn't worth poo poo. The 302 isn't exactly an uncommon engine. And second, ALL damage is cosmetic in a sense.

So anyway, I'm looking for a donor hatchback fox-body to transfer my engine/trans into and gently caress man these people think these cars are made of gold or something. Asking $2000 for a busted up '90 convertible with no engine or transmission and a torn up interior is a bit absurd.

WELCOME! OFFERED TODAY IS MY 1986 FORD MUSTANG SVO. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND HAVE THE PINK SLIP. I DROVE THIS CAR OFF THE SHOWROOM FLOOR AT WALKER BUERGE FORD IN NOVEMBER 1985. I DROVE IT FOR MANY YEARS AND IT HAS SAT OUTSIDE FOR 6 YEARS NOT RUNNING. THE LAST I DROVE IT WAS 2 YEARS AGO AND NOW IT NEEDS A NEW FUEL PUMP. IT'S ALSO SAT UNDER A PINE TREE AND HAS SAP ON THE PAINT. THE BODY IS IN OTHERWISE GOOD CONDITION EXCEPT FOR SOME RUSTING IN THE PAINT ON THE BACK HATCH AND THERE IS A HOLE IN THE REAR SPOILER. NOT GREAT TO LOOK AT, BUT COULD BE REPAINTED. NO DENTS. THE ENGINE HAS 254757 MILES ON IT AND THE ENGINE WAS REBUILT, SHORTBLOCKED AT 150000 MILES. THE INTERIOR IS DECNT WITH THE VACARRO TYPE SEATS REUPHOLSTERED YEARS AGO AND THERE ARE A FEW CRACKS IN THE SEATS. MY DOG HAD TEARED THE LEATHER OFF THE STEERING WHEEL YEARS AGO AND I PUT A COVER ON IT. I REPLACED THE SHIFTER WITH AN ORIGINAL REPLACEMENT. THE RADIO WAS REPLACED AND DOESN'T WORK. THE AIR CONDITIONER WAS DISCONNECTED AND DOES NOT WORK ALTHOUGH THE FAN AND THE HEATER WORKED LAST I DROVE IT. THERE'S RUST ON SOME OF THE ENGINE PARTS ON THE SURFACE AS THE PICTURES SHOW. THE TIRES WERE FAIRLY NEW AND DON'T HAVE MANY MILES ON THEM ALTHOUGH THE CAR HAS BEEN SITTING FOR A WHILE. NOT REGISTERED SINCE 2004. THIS CAR COULD BE USED FOR PARTS OR WITH A LITTLE TLC, COULD BE BROUGHT BACK TO CONDITION. IT WAS A FAST CAR AND HAD REALLY FLAT HANDELING. A REAL BLAST TO DRIVE. THE BUYER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR TRANSPORTING. WHEN THE PAYMENT HAS CLEARED, I WILL MAIL THE TITLE VIA FEDEX AND YOU CAN PICK UP THE CAR.

What kind of work/car? Jackson Autosport is probably the best place in the city if you drive an import, even if you don't their fabrication and custom work is top notch. I've seen them work firsthand and they're the only place I'd take my cars to.

But in that instance, why wouldn't you go for something cheaper, like an old S-10 or Ranger, and try to ride it out?

A JDM Familia would make a great daily driver if you don't beat the gently caress out of it. A reasonable driver can get plenty of fun out of it for a long time (similar to the old WRX 5speed? :can: ) without too much trouble from the trans/diffs.

And yes, they do cost a bit more but are WAY better than the BF 323 with a FWD B6T (alphabet soup?).
