The past year has been more than exciting in terms of camera prices.....  At
this time,  there are several good choices among the used M
crowd...Personally I think the used M6TTL is the best deal on a used camera.
almost any VF magnification is available at the same price....
The M6 Classic is the same price.. if you do not need the TTL metering, it
is as good a choice.
The M3 has a lot of time and use for almost the same price.. VF replacements
are both $$$ and unavailable.
The M2 is just a tad cheaper than the M3 and has the same use and age
characteristics
The M4-2 is just a few hundred less in cost but offers no meter.. ditto the
M4-P which is more $$$ yet
The used M7 are really not available yet, although Rich Pinto has corralled
a few demos at good prices
The M5 is a really nice camera but price is sometimes more than a M6

So if you were in the market for a new M body, which would you choose and
why?
