I thought a guy from North Texas Imports was going to help me out but so far nothing... Id be interested to hear how you guys came about your cars. I am pretty set on used unless its some ridiculous deal on a new one. Nationwide location is fine but if I go through a locater I would prefer local. Ok enough ranting... but Im excited!

ecarlink has a great one! It is also on ebay and autotrader. It's a Space Gray 6MT e92 and has nearly every option you could think of (tech, cold weather, sunscreen, ipod integration, etc). At $55,888 with only 2,500 miles it is nearly a steal; however, it is a 2008. Still though, I was seriously considering it a week ago. It is a beautiful car.

BTW, which architecture firm are you with in Dallas?

They have a white one with 28xxx miles. But good suggestion. I have been keeping an eye on them.

I have been dealing with Kelly Bills there about that car. He is an absolute moron. He told me he wouldnt give me a carfax or service report til I came to pick up the car... along with alot of other moronic sales moves. Would your friend mind PMing me what he got for trade in so I can know how low the dealer might go? Anyone know a good sales person at Classic? I was hoping they would use my bill of sale and give me the tax break from selling my car even tho I didnt trade it in to them. (long shot but who knows) thats why buying out of state is great!

Thanks. Ya I have seen that one. I had that color of E46. I think I want a white one. Possibly Black. But hey you never know... Fusch Architects - HUGE custom homes down to 5000 sq ft.

Ya, I like the white best too. That will be hard to find used with all the options you want.

I for sure have heard of them. Mostly HP and UP homes in Dallas, right? French traditional and what not? I used to live in Dallas while I attended SMU.

I work in the same field now, although with a near opposite style. Rottet Studio. Check us out here. We focus on High-end commercial interiors and have designed private offices for countless Fortune 100 Companies whose CEOs' names I am sure you would recognize. We have recently broken into the residential and hospitality markets too but on a smaller, more exclusive scale for the time being. That's cool, good luck with everything.

You nailed it for the most part. The HP and UP homes are our small ones. We do Glen Abbey and around Inwood and down into the Turtle Creek area. As well as nationwide like Chicago.

Your firm is ridiculous. All that stuff is amazing. It looks like we both work for firms dealing with people with no budget.

Just buy the carfax it would be easier... that way you won't waste your time. Also maybe call a Service Rep and give him the vin to find out some info on service.

Another thing... The one at ecarone, is it me or does the hood or bumper not seem lined up properly.

[artifice]

ecarlink has a SG 6mt with everything, low miles, but the price is kind of high. If you can get it down to like 51 or 52 I think you would have a good deal.

Holy S#$%. I would say it just needs to be closed all the way but if you look at the lines on the side it looks like it is.

Ya. I saw that one. I am just not sure I want that color. That was the color of my E46 I just sold.

[Nawaaz]

Its so hard to be patient... Im ready to get mine and meet up with some of you guys. The one at Classic is so tempting but I would prefer less miles and I am having a hard time dealing with them. The search is nationwide tho so that will help!

Classic is always higher on the price compared to the other dealers unfortunately.......But that's probably because their expenses are higher as well.

[artifice]

Welllllllll, you can always negotiate. 56,900 is way high, actual price of the vehicle should be somewhere between 47k-51k. I think they added a bunch because of the desirability of the FR interior with carbon. I got the sunroof on mine and i came out below book. But I got lucky because it was a trade-in at a porsche dealership.

[Nawaaz]

^ What did you trade in, if you don't mind me asking...

[artifice]

I traded in my G35 (daily car) but the M was traded in for a 997 Carrera (new) and the idiot was like 20k upside down in the M. So he paid almost 110K for a new carrera, plus they ripped him a new hole on the mark up for said porsche. Having that said they had made so much money off of the new car sale they didn't really care how much they would let the M go for. We argued more about the value of my G35 trade than anything haha.

You LUCKY guy you, Edwin.
