I paid around $800 for an M3 body in very nice condition cosmetically and mechanically. Whoever did the job did fine work in my opinion. I happen to be in the bicycle business. If I had a good frame with trashed wheels, and another bike with a bent frame and good wheels, I wouldn't hesitate to take all the good components and assemble a complete bike from them. As long as I didn't sell it to a collector claiming that the bike was original, no harm is done. The M3 I purchased was sold as a "user". And now it gets lots of use! I couldn't be happier with it.
