yes, I quickly found that out. in all honesty, that is the one reason to buy a new car...used cars are generally worn out in some respect, probably a lot worn out.
when i was looking for an early 911, every single one has some problem, or it was $30,000 + (now maybe more like $50,000+). so, i bought a project so i can make it perfect, because there was no chance in hell of me finding the car i wanted already done.
i imagine that's the same thing with these E30 M3's...they are just getting old, and they've gotten abused and used. Same deal with my old E28--just a bunch of shot bushings, the valvetrain was all clackety (some broken springs, worn adjusters, etc.), little things...they'll kill ya
i guess then i am officially on the hunt, with the (hopefully) reasonable idea that i can find a Curt-quality M3 within a year. If I can't, well, I'll just go back to working on my 911.
