You are looking at a 2000 BMW M5. And if you can like you can buy it now for $18,795. In fact, you search vast.com right now for BMW M5s and set the price range to between $10,000 and $25,000 you’ll get 180 results. That’s pretty incredible. I mention this because over on TTAC Justin is doing backflips about the just announced Camaro pricing. Das right, you can get a 306 hp Zeta-platform with a 6-speed stick for… $22,995. You (like me) want the SS version with a 422 hp LS3? $30,995. Like, wow. Seems that thanks to the break down of our financial institutions and markets, arse-kicking performance is getting <!– @page { size: 8.5in 11in; margin: 0.79in } P { margin-bottom: 0.08in } –>exceptionally cheap. However, I just checked vast.com and there are no Lamborghini Gallardos between $10,000 and $25,000. Drat.

Yeah, but Jonny, how many miles on that E39 M5? I agree it’s one of the best, most addictive cars of the last 25 years, but those $20,000 models aren’t just high mileage - they’re highly thrashed.
Not so. Especially if you can get to an auction. Hit up Autotrader. Its sick that these cars can be had for less than the price of a new WRX or Ralliart. I know which one I’d take…
It’s fantastic really.
I bought a 2001 BMW 540i M-Sport (not an M5…but close), with the 6 speed manual for just under $17,000. It had 84,000 miles on it, but was in mint condition and had been pampered by its prior wealthy owner.
performance is easily accessible these days.
