This. I'm glad that where I live they are considered "plentiful" compared to other states. Made things a lot easier.

Thanks for all the advice guys. Checked out one today locally, and it was awesome. I'll keep you guys updated.

I drove from DC to NYC to get mine.

Wow. That's my car right there. Can you drive it another 30k miles and then sell it to me though? A bit out of my price range

I flew from Cincinnati to Boston and drove mine back. All comes down to how patient you are and how specific you are on what you want. Using flight and hotel points I considered this just time and gas spent. Even buying a flight and hotel doesn't add significantly to a $28k purchase if it is the car you want.

For me I created a circle that I was willing to travel and looked in this area. Made it far easier to find the one I wanted but even then it took some patience. I was also willing to spend more for a local one (4-5 hour drive) because of the added time, hassle and costs of long travel.

I think that is a good price. I have double your mileage and wouldn't let mine go for under $40k.

Meh - they can be had for $5k-$10k less than that for cars in the 30k-40k mile range...

I have considered the option of a car out of state, and shipping to NY would be acceptable, but just hate to buy a car I can't even see first. Depending on how many hours/days away you are, I wouldn't mind picking it up.

I am hoping to find a car in the 25-27k dollar range. Decent miles below 60 .

I flew to Richmond with a friend from San Antonio and drove back. Its a very helpful community and i found someone on the forum to look over the car for me first to be sure everything was as described before flying out. Im sure someone would be willing to do the same for you. Remember, its a very rare car and thus the community is pretty tight nit.

Good luck with your search!

I bought my current 335 sight unseen from the Miami area. I was a bit nervous at first but I knew I could still walk away if the car wasn't as advertised. I did several auto checks (carfax, etc) and had the guy send me several videos using his I-pad.

Send Endless619 a PM for a personal Reference. Chris and I are friends and I bought a car off him a couple years back. For local people to check the car out I can send you references on both M3forum and E46fanatics since I am not as active on here Chris (Endless619 with over 3k post) is the only person I know on zpost and he is no longer local but he can vouch for me.

I have a set of OEM Z4 M wheels in excellent condition that I'll sell for $800. Buyer pays shipping. If interested I can send photos.

Hey Fellow M Coupe owners. I've been stalking the board for about 5 years now but finally got around to registering. Going to offer up my beloved M soon but I see I have to make some posts before I can start a new thread about my car's specifics. Anyway, just wanted to confirm that you'll spend many evenings looking nationwide for an M Coupe like I did and then when the right one comes along you could find yourself making an all night drive to Asheville, NC like I did to make sure nobody else got their grubby hands on my dream car!

Soooooo.........

WHATCHA GOT?!

As everyone is saying, if you really want one and have preferences as far as color, then traveling will almost certainly be a must. You can even ask people on here to check it out for u. I am in San Diego and bought one in Jersey. Do I win the distance competition?

No you win the competition of taking a potential local car from me

I understand traveling, and am willing.

Still looking and still trying to sell my 06 325xi.

As soon as I'm able to create a thread, I'll be posting mine for sale. Here is a link to the photos:
