Let's see - used mint condition 1975 3.0CSI lists on manheim gold
for $14,500 in showroom/car show condition.

That's my idea of being frugal. Let's see - Corolla or CSI?
Gosh - what a rought choice.


Certainly is, when a Ford Focus RS or Honda Civic Type R will
obliterate either of these cars on a real road, plus having more
comfort and better build quality than the BMW. BTW, even the Corolla
(T4) will run and hide from a 3.0CSi - it's called progress......

Last I checked - those sport versions were - a tad more than $14K.

They also depreciate fast, while the CSI goes *up* in value while
I drive it. At worst, it stays the same.
