I know the color is a little odd, but it kind of growing on me. From the research I've done these seem to be pretty nice cars to own. TIA for your replies. |

| I'm with you there, but the car I have now is kinda the same way so I'm used to it. I'm just looking for a car that isn't an econobox and has good reliability. Staying in the $15k range, do you, or anyone else have any other suggestions? |

| Good call b, or even a 3.2TL type S is a better call I think. I found an 04 3.2 tl type s for 17k a month ago, with a whopping 49k. I seriously called my bank and was aboiut to get it, if my insurance didn't double. |

| I don't wanna take the chance with a bmw right now. I live in a smaller town with virtually no bmw mechanics and I don't wanna take the chance of repairing anything myself. I've never learned to drive a manual and don't really wanna learn on an M3; also I have no friends that drive manual trans cars, so learning that way is a no go. Also, wouldn't an M3 cause my ins. rate to go through the roof? That M3 is pretty mint though. |
