Re: How many 850/840 6 speeds shipped to US from 9 (archive)

Your definitely on the right track as there are several out there for sale in that range. One of our posters on the board here recently said he had to sell his 91, 6 speed, Calypso Red with about 40,000 mi. the price was in your ball park around$35,000 I believe. Maybe some of the other posters here know if he sold it. There are also others out there you just have to look around. I have a 91 automatic and for me and the creaky bones I don't like to shift as much as when I was younger so being only a couple seconds slower to a hundred doesn't really bother me. Good hunting.

I'm interested in finding an 850csi 6 speed. I currently have the 540/6 and love it...especially with the mods.
I'll be in the market this winter/spring for a sports car that I can modify fairly quickly. (Not interested in an M3/ZZZZzzz3) The wife did not like the RX-7 (too tight) and the M3's and Z3's she is not a big fan of. Since selling my RX-7 turbo, I've been craving for both luxury and 2 seater type action with a V8 or V12 for a good price(25-30K) and great overall perf. w/ styling. What other car is there to get??? but an 8 series!(Porsche?) I have access to all the mods available for these cars at a reasonable price but NEED a stick shift. The V12 I can get 45HP w/ just a chip swap.

Any advice on these sweet, great, noble rides you guys can give me I would appreciate it very much. Looking for tips on what to look for and what to avoid.

TIA!
