A new M3 body was $306., in black $345. A new M2 with self-timer, $264. And one was usually offered a fake trade-in that amounted to a 10% discount from list. Of course, only 3 1/2 years earlier I bought a new Porsche Super 90 coupe at the factory for US $3,300. A package of Lucky Strike cigarettes cost $0.18. Good weekend, all.
