It's an all-in-one package. Low maintenacne, unlike what I hear bout Porsches, you can get it for under $25k, and it's VERY VERY VERY fun to drive. It's not the fastest... if you want speed... you may want to look elsewhere, but for sheer handling and fun factor, this is the perfect all around car... AND it is luxurious to boot!

Perfect car for what you're seeking.

I'm shopping for my "mid life crisis" car. I'm looking to spend around $25K and want something that is damn fun to drive and/or is fairly luxurious. I'd like to use it on my daily commute through LA (so the AC should work), and my 5 year old son often rides with me. Top on my list has been either a late 80's Carrera or early 90's 964 (911). Thing I'm worried about are maintenance costs and non-functional AC. Getting an M3 has been suggested, and it seems like this might win on a number of counts: fast, fun, luxurious (leather, sunroof, good AC). I know all of the potential issues with 911's...is there a FAQ out there for buying an E36? And is this a good choice? Am I missing other suspects?

Getting a newer car is not optimal, as I'd like to be able to sell whatever I get in a year or so if we decide to move. So getting something that has already largely depreciated is ideal.
