Anyone know this car?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/BMW-M3-Sedan...US_Cars_Trucks

Carfax says it's a Manufacturer vehicle. Could be a good thing if someone knows the owner. Could be a VERY bad thing if it was used as a performance center delivery track-car. It is in GA, and the factory is in SC -- so it could go either way.

Says it was a demo in the ad. More than likely a managers car at that dealership.

It was!!!

I called up the dealership...here's how it went:

Me: Can you pull the maintenance records for the car?
Dealer: Sure ...all the maintenance that was done to the car and it was meticulous. 1200 mile, mas airflow, adjust the rear windows, cat converters at 12k. Every time one of their manufacturer cars goes for sale BMW refurbishes them.

Me: So how does one refurbish a car with low miles like this?
Dealer: Lets see....they painted the front of the car and both side mirrors. And they put new brakes on.

Me: New brakes at 12k? Painted the front of the car and mirrors? Was this a performance center delivery track/demo car?
Dealer: Yes

It was cool that he admitted this to me. Lucky for me I found this out.

So there you have it -- This is a beautiful car if you want a car with every option and only 13k [track] miles driven by novices.

Nice! Might be the same white M3 I drove at the two-day M school last July... We drove the piss out of those cars, no way I'd buy it!

I wonder if a buyer can get a extended warranty on it?
