Thread: Worth buying this E46 M3?

please delete

You will face issues with any used car, just be prepared for it and you will be ok.

On a side note, I've always loved the LSB color, so much

I think the first question here is...why does it have a salvage title?

Be careful. Laguna Seca Blue was a color ONLY available in 2001. Are you sure it is a 2005? Of course it could have been painted, just look out.

Love and miss my old E46 M, but avoid the temptation of a salvage title at all costs. It will be a pain to sell down the road.

I wouldnt even consider it if it has a salvage title. That alone would be enough for me to walk away no matter how nice it appeared.

Price is a little high for a salvage but not bad. If repaired correctly, it could be a nice buy. But you will never recover your money. Buy it and drive it like you stole it.

I'd only buy it if you're planning on driving it a lot. It won't be as easy to sell, but oh well. Drive the crap out of it and enjoy it!!

Did your cousin get it repainted to LSB? I think that could hurt the value too possibly.

Any paintwork kills the value, but the salvage has already murdered it's value. Generally speaking if it has a salvage title, it is worth 55-60% of its value. If the buyer is ok with it and wants a toy, by all means get it. Just don't think you'll sell it easy or get near your money back. $18500-$19500 is what it should be bought for.

I don't know about the price but considering the upgrades and that I'm going to use this as a DD I'm ok with the title but this will be my first and last salvage car lol.

I'm going to use it as a DD. I really don't know if he painted it or not but I certainly have questions about the title and paint.
