Car Dilemma Story... Used BMW 335...link
I've been in the process of looking for a new car this summer, throughout this exciting and thought consuming time I found myself wanting an Audi a5, BMW e93 328, and BMW 335. I smartened up and made the decision that an Audi was more comparable with a one night stand fetish rather than the committing marriage i would have with BMW. I wanted to have a new car by September but my inconsistent decision process delayed everything. Now with September right around the corner I've been almost hustling to try to find the car I want. I wanted a 3 series e93 because Im going to be in Florida but i could only afford a 328 e93, this lead me to believe that it would be gay to settle for sunlight rather than the extra 80hp the 335 e92 comes with. So I'm strolling through cars.com and find a match. When I saw the car I was amazed because this is what i would have always done to my 335. I always wanted an alpine white 335 with dark tints, darkened tailights, m3 lip & roof spoiler, and interior grey poplar with navigation. (Don't take the chrome rims seriously, they would be gone). So i went to go see the car in Queens, Ny, and it looked good. Lil scratch here and there but nothing to serious I'm assuming. Then I wander over towards the hood and the front of the hood is popped out a little ( as if someone didn't push the hood down to secure it). I asked the dealer why its like this, he said its because of a pole or some bullshit ( I honestly didnt understand him because he had a heavy indian accent but he assured me the car wasnt crashed) So I carfax it anyways and it never shows any accident reports. What do you think? You can sort of see how the hood is out of wak in the picture on the link. Is it too good to be true? Is it fishy? Is it too expensive? let me know http://www.cars.com/go/search/detail...eadExists=true |

44k he wants...stricker on the car was in the upper 40's, dealers prolly can give you invoice price of the car if u look around which would be only 3k more expensive then what he is asking for.
A new car for 3k more with a peice of mind or used car with few mods. |

Don't rely on Carfax. My friend crashed the shite out of his Lexus and when he years later ran a Carfax on it when he was selling it, it came back clean. The crash was bad enough to where it bent the frame. Go figure!

something is not right when a used bmw is not offered at the bmw dealer, unless it's a private seller (car at their house)
it was probably chipped before too i would skip this impulse buy and get a new a5, 328i, & etc. |
