Hi,

I've gotten it into my head that I want an e36 coupe (not M3) as a mini-project car. I assumed I'd be able to pick one up for relatively cheap, because the last time I looked at these cars in any meaningful way (about 18 months ago), DoneDeal was full of them for <2k. Now they seem to be much rarer, and any decent ones are in the region of 4-5k or more. I even remember not too long ago seeing a Meergrün one on DoneDeal (I recall it was tarted up with some stickers and an aftermarket exhaust, but still). Now there doesn't appear to be a single car in that colour for sale anywhere in Ireland or the UK.

Cabriolets seem to be more common and better value, though.

Have e36's gotten significantly rarer as recently as in the last year or so, or is this just my imagination?
