BaT has once again spotted an amazing e30 M3, but this time, it’s a museum piece with only 4k miles!

The asking price is $59,500. Yes it’s alot, but as stated in their post, this could be the lowest mileage, privately held, e30 M3 in existence.

Question of the day: If you woke up and found $60k in your account earmarked for an M3, would you buy the original in like new condition, or would you buy a brand new e92? Leave a comment with your choice.

I’ve been off track alot in the last several posts. Lets get back on track with some great available cars for sale, starting with this extra low mile M Coupe:

1999 Silver BMW M Coupe with 11k miles on Roadfly:

Beautiful LOW MILEAGE M COUPE, 11,000 miles!!!, Arctic Silver Metallic, One Owner, Clean Carfax, 5 - Speed Manual Transmission, Sunroof, CD Changer, Heated Seats, Side Impact Airbags, S52 Engine with 240 hp, No paintwork or bodywork, Garage kept and meticulously maintained, This is RARE car and especially with so few miles.

Not sure I’d pay $28.5k for any M Coupe without the S54, but it is likely to be as close to a brand new as possible.

Check out this very clean Honda RC30 for sale on BARF (AZ, $25k!):

I have no business commenting on what this bike is worth. But I do know it looks every bit the perfect example of a RC30.

This is the most incredibly detailed listing I think I’ve ever seen for a car under $100k. This car has clearly been owned by a devoted and obsessed M Coupe afficiondo ($23k, CO):

2000 BMW M Coupe For Sale by Owner linked on Roadfly

You will find abundance information about this car and hundreds (literally) pictures on that site. I have gathered all the pertinent information that I have and presented it with honesty. This car is a true enthusiast car and has been maintained with the highest level of devotion and affection by a BMW enthusiast. I hope this car will find a new home where she will be treated as good as she has been.

[...]

I am the only driver, no one (no relatives, friends, even wife) allowed to drive the car

Subframe and rear floor pan are in pristine condition, no sign of stress, pop welds, or cracks

Never driven in snow, only caught in rain less than 10 times.

No burnouts, donuts, drag-races

No food or drink has ever entered the car

No smoke or pet

I love M Coupe’s and this one looks to be incredible condition with only 32k miles, extensive history, and detailing. Blue book is out the window when it comes to cars like this and I hope the owner gets his full asking from the right buyer.

Looks like there are some Integra Type R owners who kept their cars nice. Here’s a 2000 yellow Acura Integra Type R for sale on eBay (NY, $23.5k!):

It’s almost a crime that this car only has 10k miles! Someone needs to buy this thing and drive the doors off it!

Surfing around on eBay motors the other night, I turned up a surprising number of really low mileage Alfa Romeo and Fiat convertibles.

1982 Fiat Spyder Turbo with 30k miles:

The design would take Legend Industries 18 months to figure it out where it would be viable and economical and still accomplish the task of providing Fiat with a powerful version of their already very successful 124 line. The results, a Spyder that would outperform the Triumph TR8 and the Porsche 924 Turbo. Road & Track, Car & Driver and Motor Trend magazines all would taught this car as a champion amongst its competitors.

1984 Fiat Spyder w/ 24k miles, buy-it-now $15700:

This has got to be one of the finest Pininfarina Spiders in the Country! With only 24,000 original one owner miles this beautiful automobile is destined for investment appreciation. These cars are becoming increasingly harder to find in excellent condition so this one is a rare find indeed.

1982 Fiat Spyder with 38k miles:

The mileage reads 38,180 in the odometer and it works. Donor certified the mileage to be original. Carfax and autocheck shows the same result.

1989 Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce w/ 13k Kilometers buy-it-now $15500:

This one owner Italian roadster has only 13,000 kilometers driven since new and is in excellent condition.

These all look really sharp and the mileage is incredible. Considering a new Miata is well over $20k, these could be interesting alternatives.

Less than 300 were imported to the U.S. and this one has just a few tasteful upgrades.

1993 Ducati 888 SPO For Sale on Ducati.ms for $8500:

I am selling my 1993 DUCATI 888 SPO (limited edition, 1 of only 200 in the world!) it has an Ohlins rear shock, carbon fiber FBF exhaust pipes, upgraded ECU, air filter, Steering Damper, and upgraded racing brake lines, and pads.

The bike has only had 200 miles put on since its last service, which is when new Dunlops where put on as well.

This motorcycle has the extremely rare, and hard to find “Ducati Campione Del Mondo Superbike” paint job, celebrating the Superbike championship win by Doug Polen for that year…

I’m a subscriber on the Ducati 851/888 Yahoo group where this bike was mentioned. This is a very active and knowledgable community. Here’s some of the comments on this bike:

I wish I could just buy all the 1/2 priced early 4 valves out there, moth ball them and sell them for stupid money in 25 years.

I can tell you that if it was possible to get Australian compliance and rego on that SPO it would be heading here PRONTO!

I was recently at Ducati Motocorsa in Portland, where they have an 888 SPO on display. It’s even more beautiful in person.

Check out this beauty! A 1987 Mercedes 190E 2.3-16 with only 41k miles and a buy-it-now of $11250:

Considering the ridiculous prices that e30 M3’s currently command, the value of this car, it’s nearest competitor, looks very good!

Take a look at the other 190 2.3-16 for sale cars I have posted on TjRubley.com

Continuing with the awesome 80’s rides I’ve posted recently, here’s another beaut: 1989 Mercedes 560SEC Gray Market European specification car with only 30k miles on eBay:

Unique euro-only features include the 272hp V8, adjustable headlights from the cockpit, proper headlights and a ton of AMG goodies.

The listing has only 11 hours remaining and is currently at $17.9k, reserve met.

UPDATE 12.26.07: Sold for $19.1k.

The seller seems to be an SEC specialist and notes that he has already sold a few other low mileage examples and is making room for an ‘AMG 560SEC widebody and AMG 560SEL 6.0 32V DOHC’.

Check out this 1991 Alfa 164S on the AlfaBB:

The owner is asking $15k and the thread gets pretty cluttered with board member opinions on how much the car is actually worth. It’s been for sale for a while, so what do you think?
