Also, find a private sale and negotiate the price - the deal I got was lucky, but the fact I was paying cash made the seller more inclined to accept a lower offer for a quick transaction.
Agreed on this. Coming from two E46 M3s, one SMG and one 6MT, I can say that SMG is garbage compared to DCT; I can't stress how much you don't want SMG. Also a good condition 6MT E46 in LA is going to run you at least in the 15-20K range, and it's still going to be a 13+ year old car with maintenance to match.
