Buy M3 from SC M Test track?

AngelinIsRich08 · 06-25-2011, 05:05 PM

I'm at Perillo BMW in Chicago and they have a very nice E90 M3 with 9,000 miles. They're selling it for $58,000 and from what I have heard the car came from the BMW M school test track in South Carolina. I assume it was tracked or driven hard so would this pose any future problems? It was painted and refurbished at their factory so it's excellent but what about the motor or the driving that was done to it?

FVM3 · 06-25-2011, 05:06 PM

get away from that, are you kidding me , painted and refurbished, dont even think about it

smmmurf · 06-25-2011, 05:08 PM

Horrible idea
9,000 track miles
That car has the equivalent of 90k miles of street use on it or more
You can find better deals private party on this forum

FVM3 · 06-25-2011, 05:14 PM

You can def get another one with $58,000 on your hand. 9k track miles is horrible, especially it is not only been repainted, also refurbished , means that accident was happened.

AngelinIsRich08 · 06-25-2011, 05:17 PM

No, not refurbished. I meant to say it had chips on front and rear that have been completely fixed.

DevJ · 06-25-2011, 05:23 PM

um i'll sell you mine with 18k miles (garage queen) for 4k less lol. don't buy that car.

Kiemyster · 06-25-2011, 05:59 PM

I dont think I have to tell you to avoid this car, seeing as the wonderful members here have already warned you. Offer them 35k tops lol

MysticBlue · 06-25-2011, 06:15 PM

I wouldn't. I've seen what those cars go through. In fact, I've probably driven the car you are looking at. BMW's are made to handle hard driving as well as any car out there, but still, that's some pretty serious abuse those cars go though at the driving school. Day after day. I can see why someone would do it if it was a real good deal... like 40k. But at 58k, it's not much of reach to just get a new one. I've heard of people buying those and not having any problems, but I wouldn't.

AngelinIsRich08 · 06-25-2011, 06:18 PM

Alright. Thanks guys! I was looking online and I saw Vista motors have a 2010 E90 M3 with 26,000 miles priced at $52,000. Is that a pretty good price? I saw its Carfax and it checks out fine.... If I decide to do business with Vista are they reputable or are they poor?

LOL

AngelinIsRich08 · 06-25-2011, 07:52 PM

It's classified as a Manufacturers car in the Carfax.

HeartMD · 06-25-2011, 08:23 PM

9000 full time track miles. Dude run and keep running like forest gump. Like mentioned above thats probably equal to a 90-100K car driving on the streets.

I have only heard disgusting things about Vista BMW. search the e90post & m3 post FL sections, search vista

Crazy Bimmer · 06-25-2011, 08:35 PM

There are better deals on this forum than the ones you finding.

status38 · 06-25-2011, 08:37 PM

The only way I'd buy that car is if Donnie Isley from the M School comes with it as a chauffeur.

persian54 · 06-26-2011, 02:58 AM

I'd buy the car for 40k and mod it to be a full on track car :P

FVM3 · 06-26-2011, 04:42 AM

try to find in the FS section

Hypocritical that BMW is selling a used track car with a warranty and then denying warranty work on cars because they have been tracked or dragged.
