How about you put in the criteria you used to filter by rather than the link... and we can fix it for you?

Pretty safe to say the car was tuned.

Just ran the Auto Check and it rated at 96. Auto Check typically will show damage that is not present on the Carfax. I think it's worth an inspection due to the price and mileage.

ThEnder · 10-31-2013, 02:57 PM

I would not go for that car, it was clearly modified and hastily returned to stock for lease return/sale. Look at the back bumper which was obviously cut for a quad exhaust but the PO just slapped the stock system back on leaving a gaping hole.

IDK but price also seems a little high for a 2007 with 60K miles and missing parts.

Thank you, yeah I was thinking that too, I will be in the area of this car on Tuesday so I figured it was worth checking out. I will try to find a mechanic to check it out.

benzo23 · 10-31-2013, 02:59 PM

Geez, a 2007, thats been modded, with no warranty, from a wholesaler and from up north (salt, snow, bad roads, possible hurricane sandy car?). Thats a definite pass for me. Find a nice low mileage cpo car and dont worry about it.

MattMD · 10-31-2013, 03:00 PM

$17k isn't that out of line for an 07 without many options and 60k miles. It says reduced so they're probably trying to get it off the lot. Worth getting an inspection and checking it out.

Looked into them when I was buying, turns out they are a very sketchy dealer.

oh okay thank you I will keep that in mind if I do end up going to check it out.

zoso4534 · 10-31-2013, 03:44 PM

I would not buy this car for a few reasons. Too many mods - you don't know what has been done to it. Let's be realistic - this is a BMW. Given the high repair costs, I would either buy new or CPO. You want someone to stand behind the vehicle. You can easily go to a dealer, and find a nice BMW. I just bought a 2011 CPO for a few thousand below the market value. I wouldn't take the risk, man.

In all seriousness OP, definitely stay away. Get a CPO car. You'll be happier three months after you buy it when your injectors go bad or something.

I agree with this - I actually tried to buy a car from them - we agreed on it, I put down a deposit to hold the car. They told me for like a week they were just getting an issue fixed on it. I kept calling and they said "it's in the shop". Finally the guy just said they sold it to someone else.

So much for a deposit to hold the car...

Nice but you should run a Diagnosis scan on it first.

Tow hook cover is removed as well. Car could have been towed to the shop. License plate mount is intact on the front bumper there could be a possibly that the car didn't use a tow hook mount. (unless dealer put it on, which I doubt)
