I am thinking of selling the Corolla to learn how to really drive a manual. (I already can, but am not good at it)

I am guessing I could get about $1,500 for the Corolla and investing a couple hundred extra isn't out of the question.

Here is one to get this started:

The E39s are surprisingly available at this price point:

Of course keeping it on the road will be a whole other story...

It is amazing that these 2 cars are so different and the same price point. It is also amazing that a 1987 IROC is worth more than a 2002 5 series... What a strange world we are living in.

This will probably go for more than that, but:

I'm not sure what "some work" means, but this could probably go in the bang for the buck thread too: http://charlotte.craigslist.org/cto/5687115586.html
