Thoughts on this used M3?

keepittrill · 06-01-2013, 08:49 PM

A friend of mine has been looking at a used M3 as a commuter car for a while. He drives about 30 miles a weekday and was looking at this M3. What do you guys think of this?

Yup, year, mileage, style, we need more info, but most likely, Yup get that sucker.

Whoops, just checked the VIN number online. Not pretty. Seems to be a salvage title and has an odometer title problem. In fact, the seller seems to be a very sketchy one. They're selling a 2012 335xi with 7500 miles for 29K. Makes no sense.

It's a "junk vehicle". The odometer is not correct, stay away.

If it seems to good to be true.... well you know.

yeah. wow. definitely if it seems too good to be true it definitely is. OP, tell your friend when shopping for cars to always avoid outliers. Stick to cars within the average price range for that model. If a car is way too cheap, there is usually a very good reason for that.

Just saw this thread. I knew it was some kinda salvage as soon as I saw the price.

I recently traded my 2010 335xi with 9k miles, and it was listed for $39k!

All their cars have title errors and are salvage titles. These people are very sketchy.
