I dont think you're crazy, you'll just have to keep searching for the "right" one to come along!There are alot of "dodgy" 8s about, just really need someone who has experience with them to check it over for you.60 to 80 thousand $ seems excessive for a csi.Well in england it is! Waiting around for the "right" one helps, i found my dad a 92 850ci M-tech suspension, wheels and bodykit.New engine and gearbox 7000miles ago.New leather interior,new stereo and OBC and full respray (never been in an accident).The person we bought it off, bought it for £30,000 he spent £50,000 on it (the above items +servicing etc)and sold it to us for £10,000!!Hope this helps and hope you like the pic. As for the insurance, depending on how old you are, you'd be surprised at how cheap it is!
