Reading some of the needs work ads, I get the sense these are not cars for people who don't do their own work.

Those $2k ones could be $6k in a hurry and they would still be rust belt schit buckets that no one would ever give you more than $2500 for. On BaT, R53s range from $5-6k to mid-teens.

Absolutely true but also the case with any low value used BMW or Audi, many of which don't serve up any style or fun.
