I bought a used Leica M8 almost two years ago for $2500, 400 clicks, "mint" with box.
The M8 gets a lot of use. With some patience, you can find a lightly used one at a good price- $2000 range. I also have an Olympus EP2, use it with Leica mount lenses- but prefer the M8.
I liked the M8 enough to pick up an M9 about 6months ago, paid for by selling gear. The M8 with a C-Sonnar and the M9 with a 35mm is a great combo. Both get used.
Some shots here with the Combo, Jamestown Settlement on Thanksgiving Day.
