Ask about the fault on the car. Look at the picture of the nav idrive do u se red car top right corner. Means there is something wrong or service is a past due. Idrive will say if u go to service information. Or simply when u start the car
ok so i should ask them about that off the back. anything else you can tell me about the pics. that fault may be the thing that sends me on my way to keep looking.
carfax has car from conn to CA to VA in short time....seems odd.
17 months around 2011 with no entries
Good thing is it seem to have been preped for sale by BMW dealer in 2012.
He wants high or clean trade cost per NADA
NADA trade in
TOTAL PRICE $10,650 $12,925 $14,825
clean retail 19,425.
Look up VIN to see what features and options the car was originally sold with
Might be worth investment of having indie do a check for you especially suspension, bushings, quibo. and you check every thing you can electronics, window shades, bluetooth, convenice access. Make sure it takes gas without clicking off the pump off....or vent is clogged ($800)
Seem like OK deal. On mine, the seller had BMW dealer go over it and they made $6K of repairs before I took ownership. And even then after I bought it it since has had 6 additional repairs in just 6 weeks.

Yup man it could be a fault or just past due maintenance. More u check better u will sleep ask if u can take it to independent mechanic spend 100$-200$(its worth it) so they can check the car and if its good buy it if its not stay away. Its used dont expect it to be in perfect shape but at least ull know what ur getting urself into. There is not that much we can tell u by looking at the pictures. Check service records etc etc.
Where can I check the vin
What do u mean? What are u looking for? U can check it in ur dealer they will give u a print with the options. Most likely they wont give u service records.
U can use carfax. For accidents and such.

Usually when a car jumps from state to state like that , It is to
REMOVE A SALVAGE TITLE . It is known as cleaning the cars
title History . I & a couple others who went to BIMMERFEST
this year , met some Armenians there that own a SALVAGE
yard in Sun Valley , they were telling a few of us about how they
can take the SALVAGE TITLE off a car by doing this .
edit for miss spelling

So are u telling me to keep looking?
Hes warning you man its up to u what u wanna do
ok thanks im going to test drive it thiw weekend so ill take a look at things and have someone look at it also.
Just remember that if it's been salvaged, insurance companies typically won't insure it. Also, most finance companies won't finance them so you may have to pay cash outta your pocket to buy it. Also, many (most in my mind) salvage cars often aren't TRULY repaired correctly so they can become "death traps" when the repairer "decided" to not replace an air bag (or two). As such, a salvage title is typically worth 50% of the current market value so IF that car was a salvage, then it's worth $7,000 instead of $14K so should you decide to resell it, you might not get the $'s you put into it back out.
i think ive found another one as the previous one was sold today. this ones newer and less miles but I guess you saved me from the hassle of finding out the last car was salvage if it was. playing it safe thanks to you guys knowledge is key. how does this one check out sent an email to get some pics so ill post them asap but on paper hows it sound?
