Eric Lee I think the issue is if you don't fix it yourself. I bought a 95' 325i sedan (not an M3) and I have purchased basically every part needed to "renew" the car for about $2.3k (car was $1600). I haven't installed everything yet but I have already gotten the motor to run without popping/stuttering so I have hope that I did research properly for the rest of the messed up parts. good luck with your car and I recommend learning to do the work yourself - if you have time to

2 years ago I got a '73 Corvette also in sad shape. But I had always wanted a classic Stingray, and got the third one I looked at. Like you, I did not get the full mechanical inspection, and I got sorely burned. BUT, like you I learned a heck of a lot on the way, have a blast driving it, and saved it from a crusher's fate. My wife was behind me every step of the way too. Yes I spent too much on the car and on repairs, but by the time I am done with it I will have one Hell of a car. Well done to you, and thanks for doing these vids.

Just sourced a new idler pulley and air filter for my e46, a spare key (for in my wallet after I locked my keys in the trunk T_T) and some other bits and bobs incoming next week. My mirrors aren't heated anymore, which means new mirror glasses. I still need new door rubbers as a previous owner damaged it. Front anti-roll bar linkages, new exhaust damper, guibo and central support bearing for the driveshaft and than I'll hopefully be done ish. E46... E36... any other car. If you buy a second hand car, especially 10 years and older, than you can bet your ass that the previous owner got rid of it for good reasons. No matter if there is a service history or not.

LogiForce86 just brought a 93 miata, off the road for 5 years, no history, can confirm. 115k miles which is actually quite low, paid almost nothing for it, drives amazingly but the problems have started already.. new slave cylinder I just replaced, door seal is shot so it leaks, need to change all of the fluids at some point from where it's been sat. That's all for now but no doubt more problems will crop up, but I wouldn't have it any other way because when behind the wheel, it's fantastic, and like Alex, I've saved a car from certain death

NickMsiGaming YT I'm just a normal chap fixing up his BMW, so I don't know about newer BMW's. The E46 is the first BMW i've ever owned. On the E46 you need to remove the top 3 in the following pick, and loosen the other plastic philips screws. Image: www.impee.co.uk/radiator_flush/bmw%20splash%20shield%205.jpg

You pointed out exactly what our hobby and passion is about. Going for that rust bucket childhood dream car may not be rational, it may not seem to make any sense, and it may bring you in despair at times, but where would be the fun in it otherwise? Anybody can buy a clean, reliable, soulless new car. But we who we cherish the challenge, we all know what it's about.

It is beautiful. Always like the boxier styling of older European cars over the blobs of the cars that are produced today.

DickotheClown I love those cars, and I actually got pretty close with my first and current car. I have a 1983 pontiac grand prix and it has everything I loved about the monte plus even more. It has the 80s v8 (which is now cammed and has new headers), t-tops which are amazing, and just the whole feel of an old muscle car with some comforts and quite cheap. Not to mention the style has started to grow on me, the grille looks really good and the bodyline looks great. The only complaints I have about the looks are the blue interior (which kind of limits color options), the badges on the rear tail light, and the obvious wear that comes from a 30 year old car that cost $500 canadian. I haven't driven it much as I still need to get the engine back together so I can see how much of a difference the parts made but I already absolutely love the car.

Chevy Johnson my dad bought one more than a decade ago from neighbor cheap and did a quick flip with it, don't remember exactly how much. I believe it was an 87, had the maroon interior and exterior, kind of rough. The cig lighter would fly out onto the seat when pushed in because it was so worn. Loved the car though, can picture it in my mind

Love the car, but I love the philosophy behind it more. Some people will never understand why we prefer to spend countless hours and heaps of money to save an older car, rather than buying something new. You can not put a value on the bond you form with an old car, or the lessons it teaches you along the way. Hats off to you for sticking to your heart, as I know all too well the kind of remarks people give you about it along the way.
