[Wichita-SCCA] WTB: RWD Daily Driver

[Mike VanAmburgh]

Yikes, assuming you mean E30 M3, an example of one of those under $8k more 
than likely would need some work.  A decent one is over $10k and a really 
nice one is over $14k.

How about a 95ish 325i?  I'm sure 96 328s can be found for under $8k as 
well...
