Had the PPI today. This is an '03 with 64k
- prior damage to RR as evidenced by replaced suspension pieces & axle shaft, and paint overspray on the wheel well liners
- fan belts are in bad shape
- seepage from power steering pump
- motor mounts badly worn
- brake rotors and pads almost worn out
- weird extra wiring around the headlights; looks like they added 'angel eyes'?
- rear tires shot
- a few small dings and scratches here and there
- cabin filter and air filter were pretty dirty
They're asking $24k; they offered to either fix the belts and replace the rear tires, or knock $1k off the price. I offered $20k, and they told me (politely) to pound sand. On top of that, he tried to convince me that used M3 prices are trending
upwards, and that this was an exceptional deal right now. And, of course, he had someone else coming to look at the car if I didn't buy it. I should have stuffed a copy of the PPI in the glove compartment
Am I being too picky at this price point?
Oh, and there was an envelope in the glove compartment with the (I'm assuming) PO's AIDS test results.
