Can anyone tell me a point buy system for D&D 3.5

It's in the DMG.

Start all stats at 8. The cost to increase any stat by one point from its current value is equal to the bonus it currently gives you, with a minimum cost of 1. Standard point-buy value used for the "elite array" is 25.

Check DMG...

Also, internet has it (some are wrong)

All stats start at 8.

You get points to spend to improve your stats. (This depends on your DM)

At 8 to 14, each ability score increase costs 1 point. (Thus, going to 14 is 6 points)
At 15 and 16, it costs 2 points each
At 17 and 18, it costs 3 points each.

Thus, getting a 16 in a stat costs you 10 points, 18 costs you 16 points.

Most point buy calculators (example (http://yellowrex.com/tools/pbcalc.php)) deviate from the rules in that they allow starting scores (i.e., before racial adjustments) to drop below 8. As 2xMachina noted, that's not allowed. So treat them as a convenience, but refer to Dungeon Master's Guide page 169 for the actual rules.

I usually use this (http://emrilgame.netau.net/Dmstuff/pointbuy.html) point buy calculator, which does not have the problem stated above.
