Newer maybe, but funner? They’re both tossable, lightweight convertibles, but this has a *lot* more power than any Miata.

Citroen SM.

Almost antiseptic under the hood, you can tell this thing was cared for. Two owners, mostly unmolested...I went NP.

Too many miles for the money they’re asking. I’d imagine that these were commonly bought as weekend cars, and it should be easy to find one with less miles.

Just too many issues, both mechanical and cosmetic, for me to consider at its current price. At 6k I’d be on the fence, and at 4k I’d be all in.

If you agree, then you’ll understand that someone referring to themselves as “Amber” identifies as a woman, which means they are a “she”, not a “him”, and not an “it”.

You wouldn’t even have to spend a little more - 350zs can be had in decent condition for this amount of money.

We don’t do transphobia here.

It’s well presented, in good shape, and within the KBB range. NP.

I wonder if, in order to get in front of him, the cop passed the Dutcher on the left hand side.

My father owned a ‘98 from new,  similar to this, albeit with the V6 and regular bed. It was always very reliable, and is still going strong two years after his death with 180k miles. Just don’t get in an accident - these didn’t do well in crash tests.

I wouldn’t use this as a daily driver, although I guess you *could* (and looking at the HVAC controls, it appears to even have A/C). I’m not sure if you could call this a classic car, but it’s definitely different, and 2.5k is credit card money. NP!

Same, this deserves an enthusiast owner. And there *are* French car enthusiasts out there, even in the US.

I went ND because a quick perusal of BaT shows that you can get one with the Lotus motor for this much money. But it seems like rust is a big killer with these, so depending on how rust-free this one is, it might be NP.

I like convertibles because it means that more V8 music gets piped directly to my eardrums. I know that enthusiasts have this thing about structural rigidity or whatever, but the vast majority of Foxbody owners aren’t tracking them anyway.

The 944 looks better, and you can get a good naturally aspirated 944 (or a ratty turbo 944) for this money. I voted ND. I don’t think the seller is far off though, and at a few grand less I’d consider it.

I wouldn’t call these difficult to own. Much better than something Italian or British. The engine is rock solid reliable. Electrical gremlins and rust are the main bugbears, but the car will keep running and driving even if some of the power accessories don’t work.

I think the seller made a critical error by mentioning that they have too many projects. This doesn’t seem like a “project car” to me. A few seat controls not working and a small brake leak are just par for the course for an 80s BMW. They’re not worth enough to make fixing every little thing worthwhile, unless…

A few seat controls not working and a small brake leak doesn’t seem like a long list, and in my opinion, are just par for the course for an 80s BMW. They’re not worth enough to make fixing every little thing worthwhile, unless you can do the work yourself.
