So Leica lust has really bitten me. I'm considering an M6.

Where's the best place to start looking and I'm considering matching with a voightlander 35 is this a good starter or should I just opt for the more expensive Leica equivalent?

Get an M6 if you need the LED meter, could save some money and get an M2/M4/M5. Arguably they’ll all keep their value.

As for the lens, depending on what you plan on using the camera for or just to see if you’ll like it - I’d say the voigtlander 35s are great. Can only be beat by Zeiss or Leica but for a considerable premium. I have the nokton 35, and it’s a great all rounder - small and great for taking on holiday ツ

out of interest why not an M3?

I am with @packet

Get Zeiss Ikon ZM for same/less money; the finder is exceptional, much better than any Leica I have had/tried.

Or if you dead set on Leica get M4P (if you want the 28mm frame lines).

Exactly the lens I was looking at too!

Where's the best place to look? Red dot? I'm trying to avoid eBay if I'm honest.
