2011 at $43.9k how?

Design1stCode2nd · 08-22-2012, 11:23 AM

This has been on autorader for a few weeks now and I can't understand why it's so cheap. I'm assuming something is wrong with it but just not shown in the listing.

As you can see it's modified a fair amount as well, lip, trunk, etc.

Complete guess, but does it have a salvage title?

heavily modified, might not pass inspections, longevity and reliability, not easily established.

But **** m3 prices are going south fast

No they aren't. I havent seen much of any change within the last 6 months in e92 pricing honestly.

This is good news, thanks.

Must be a scammer. I had contacted a guy who was selling a M3 12-15K lower than market. He said that he was travelling a lot and was out of state but the car was local. The main catch was that he wanted to be paid by Google Checkout and had 5 days to get the car checked out and cancel the transaction if something was wrong!

mdosu · 08-22-2012, 01:32 PM

modified car, also check VIN/Carfax, see if there's accident history...usually accident history would explain this type of deals.

lorinzo · 08-22-2012, 01:45 PM

Several weeks ago there were several posts about M3 offered on-line that were "questionable."

Bottom line is you need to have the car inspected.

When it seems too good to be true,..... it is.

sharifm3 · 08-22-2012, 02:12 PM

I remember this car... I believe it was a flood car.

Buy your preowned from a Reputable Dealer and always ask for a Car Check/Car Fax... not always accurate but gives some insight.

WingZeroX5 · 08-22-2012, 06:47 PM

there's a 2011 melbourne red at CT going for 47.9K w/4k miles, it's a texas flood car and has the engine replaced w/300 miles because the original hydrolocked

think the dealer's name is autohausinc.com

Hurricane · 08-22-2012, 07:36 PM

I live 30 minutes away from this dealer. STAY AWAY. They have been known to sell cars have salvaged titles and flood damage.

Thanks so much, I figured it had to be something like that. Can't seem to find an 09 CPO for under $47k or in warranty 09 for under $44k. I'll just have to wait until they come down a bit more or go to Manheim (friend of a friend as it were). At this point I'm looking for next spring, may as well keep mine through the winter and not subject a new to me M3 to salt and snow.

dreamspeed · 08-23-2012, 06:34 PM

out of curiosity, for those that are doing the research, what is the average going price for a M3? Manual tranny, coupe, premium, tech pkg, with edc.

I'm looking to buy one in a couple of months and in SoCal the average going rate that i have seen is around 45-49k for a 3 year old one with with around 30k miles.

I paid 60K for a 2011.5 ZCP, almost fully loaded with mods and 9K miles. GREAT price.

Pretty good sized dent in the driver side rear quarter panel, too.
