Wow. Thanks for the post! It's amazing that this car now 4 years later and 20k more miles is selling for the same price. I guess they hold their value quite well. I should have bought one years ago, drove it for 20k miles and then sold it for the same price. Few cars do that these days!

Wow, a good example of how you must do your homework on a car before purchase.

How do you know it's the same car?

Same ding in the hood. Or we can go the vin comparing route again....

I'm actually not sure this is all that bad of a car. Here are the bad:
1) The bumpers and hood were repainted. Possible fender bender? Not reflected in the carfax.
2) It was driven by perhaps a bunch of people in a dealer's exotic rental fleet. Not certain how many or if this is 100% verifiable.
3) No earlier records of maintenance

Here are the good:
1) immaculate interior
2) compression test is very solid
3) ppi passed with flying colors
4) already has an RPI exhaust

Are those that terrible? For a car with 90k miles? Especially for a driver/track car.

Maybe I missed something. Lemme know.

The RPI is worth 800$ used based on 2 different sales in the last 3 weeks right here in the classifieds. So that is what item 4 is worth. IMO, the bad seems to outweigh the good at the list price. At 20.5k is where I would consider it. Keep in mind you need to pay to get the car out here. That's 2k miles away.

Yeah, I don't think it's a bad car at the right price but it's priced quite a bit north of what I'd be comfortable with given its history and mileage.

the bad: ugly eBay brake covers. I had to say it.

Haha. So true! First thing I'd do would pop those off.

I know it's an M coupe but still - who in their right mind would get an 8-year note on a 10-year old car?

Haha, calipers are probably rusted hence the covers )

Sold! Wow. Maybe this post inspired someone to buy it. Damn! I'm not going to reveal any more finds until I have one myself. It's competitive out there.
