So I put a deposit down today on this car:
http://arizonaautogroup.com/web/3095...06-BMW-M-Coupe They agreed to $26,000 out the door, which includes shipping to Atlanta. Does this look like a good deal? Thanks |

The only thing I don't understand is the first record on Carfax of the car being sold is at 6,200 miles. It says it was a manufacturer vehicle sold at auction. Any ideas?
Also, does this mean the car is still under the standard 48 month warranty period? Thanks |

The sold at auction sounds a little funny to me. I'd say it's a great price WITHOUT any accidents. You should get a PPI to confirm if that's important to you. |

Manufacturer Car: Could've been a pampered promo car, executive car, BMW Golf Tournament car, or it could've been an abused test vehicle....journalist car, BMW Ultimate Drive car. I don't think there is a way to tell for sure. Looks good in pictures though!

Also ask questions about how it will be shipped. There are some shady shipping methods. I used a broker because I wanted someone who knows the business. Since the seller is including the shipping you will not have much say. If you can, you might consider flying in and driving it back. I could not because I work too much.

I didn't pursue this car after finding out the history. Just about every body panel was replaced after it was a driving school vehicle. Who is selling it now?

It's currently for sale by Front Line Auto in Gilbert for $28,990 ($1k lower on their eBay listing and in person), here's the listing: http://www.frontlineaz.com/inventory/view/4930494 Interestingly when I asked the guy at Front Line about wanting to have an inspection done he strongly urged me to take it to his buddy at a nearby shop and gave me a list of places I wouldn't be allowed to take it. That alone was a red flag, especially after the rough test drive. Last edited by trinerd; 02-01-2012 at 10:41 PM.. |

Felt pretty rough under somewhat hard acceleration, clutch was a beast (beyond the usual CDV issue, I literally worked up a sweat just driving it around on open roads), and a rather disconcerting rattle/knocking came from under the hood the whole drive. Not to mention there was a rattle from the trunk area, but there was nothing loose in the trunk.
I'm no expert on Z4MCs but I could tell that something was off, as could my passenger. |

And my Saab on the way home was smoooooth as silk as always. The company might be bankrupt and you may not be able to get parts and no one knows who's going to honor my warranty but it's still the best car I've ever owned! |
