Like so many brands.....if you choose the right one....they're fantastic cars, Patrick.
I was lucky enough to get my most recent wagon on eBay and it was located less than an hour drive away. The seller was also a dealer so I was able to get my temporary tag and new registration in hand the day I picked her up.
I wanted a stick shift mostly and one that still represented the original brick shape but this one checked so many other boxes, I feel truly blessed to have "bagged" - especially for $6k!
They are out there. You just have to keep looking - and it may take years - to find that right one.
I talked to a guy up in Ormond Beach a week ago who was selling his - same as mine except an automatic, older, different color, and more miles. It was in VERY good condition and he was only asking $2k. He's a professional mechanic and works at the BMW dealership in Daytona. Turns out he had chnaged his mind and decided to keep it and forgot about his CL ad. I wasn't inquiring about it for me - but for a friend.
Here's a nice 240 that just popped up on B.a.T. today.
It's already up to $10,240 w/7 days left.
