I'd stay away if I were looking. As you said you don't know the condition of the paint under the wrap and it doesn't even have the correct wheels on it.

Price isn't that great either considering. Better deals will come, just be patient.

Those wheel look like wheel and tire package from tire rack for winter setups .

I would stay away from that car. Probably got dumped there by the prior owner for various reasons.

I'm selling a Black/Bamboo E90 M3. Similar miles, I'm the second owner, fully serviced up. PM me for details.

I wouldn't buy a wrapped car. I'd wrap one, but I'm not buying paint sight unseen.

My car was sent auction from a ford dealership. It was a 2-owner Florida car. I had two PPIs done on it and bought it from a reputable used sports/luxury car dealer near where I live.

Previous owner's address was in the nav, I looked up his address, got his name, and actually found him on M3Post and shot him a message. Good dude, turns out I got lucky and he'd gotten rid of the car as the warranty had just ended, trading it in for a ford raptor. He owns a business, just got married, and is starting a family, I don't think he could be bothered with the whole selling process, but he did spend about 30 mins on the phone with me and had extensive knowledge of what the car had done and what he thought it would be needing soon.

Not very clean. Go low on the price and see if they bite.

Well, it's definitely 'on the Lash' 😆😆😆 Brit joke there...

Looks clean, engine bay looks a bit slovenly with old oil spilled all over, driver seat looks good 🤔 I'm 50/50.

wfdeacon88 · 03-17-2019, 12:10 PM

I wouldn't touch this car. Overpriced... and quite possibly the worst wheels I've ever seen on an e9x ever. Did those come off an 03 350z?

And if it came from NY, I say you got a good vehicle from a knowledgeable person.
