$3000 price limit. Preferably rwd. I’m almost certain there’s nothing with an automatic that I’d want for $3000... So, manual too. NO CONVERTIBLES. Being able to hold more than two people would be nice. Running is a plus, as is good bodywork, but exceptions could be made. I want to learn how to do more complex mechanical work, without potentially leaving my Miata undriveable for weeks at a time. I’m thinking engine swap. Ideas?

Oh man. I forgot about older lexus’. Adding that to the list.
The only Mercedes I want is either the most optioned-out current s-class available or an Evo. Both of which are slightly above 3k unfortunately... I have considered trying to build my own Evo but I don’t know the Mercedes lineup from back then well enough to even know which model to start with

About $3k is the going rate for a clean non-M E36, give or take depending on age/mileage/engine. Or at least it was when I bought my old one 2 years ago. Of course, rather than a clean non-M, I bought a beat M for the same price. Don’t do that.
That one is priced on the low end for how nice it is and the engine/trans combo. Probably an older person who sees it as just a 20 year old car.

You could pick an early one up for $10k right now, but make sure its has the recalls fixed. 2011 , 2012 , 2013
The preface lift (2011-2014) has the V1 engine. It’s easier to mod, but not as reliable. The face lift has the V2 engine (except the NISMO RS, still uses the V1 engine). It’s is more reliable, but more difficult to mod. I don’t want to take you too deep down the Juke rabbit hole.

All the more reason they should get it! 1250$ for an otherwise clean starter for a project? I’d pay the asking price and maybe bribe them with some beer to make sure I got it! Worst case scenario is you rebuild the motor a bit with new gaskets and a general refresh for a grand or so. But if you want to get a bit crazy, you can. And body and interior are begging for a well sorted power train and at 1250, you can’t say no.
