I joined this forum best part of 2 years ago when I started my search for a late manual 3200. Because the cars depreciated so much many fell into the hands of owners who skimped on maintenance so you have to be patient waiting for a properly looked after one to come along. After reading on this forum the end float horrors, difficulties sourcing some engine parts for an engine rebuild, and that maintenance items such as clutches and timing chains are no longer available, I stopped searching. Started looking at the GS and GTS, which are properly sorted cars, but the GTS is depreciating too heavily for me and the GS just doesn't appeal in the same way the 3200 does.
Despite the above, I'd still buy a 3200 but it would have to be at a price that recognises it's a "ticking time bomb" given the end float risk and lack of parts availability to keep it on the road.
