Ok. I saw this lovely manual BMW 325XiT wagon. (AFTER seeing the police report about the accident, I’m running away from this POS) My dad tested it out. My dad was trying to negotiate 4200. The owner refused to budge from 4800. He acted like an asshole. He lied about this being a “California” car (I saw the papers). He drove 12k miles in the past 6 months on this. My dad drives 30k miles a YEAR. I plan to DD this, not my dad. The gates were also quite loose, to the point that my dad, an experienced manual driver, was often misshifting 3rd and 5th. And I also bought a carfax. HOLY SHIT.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
6 OWNERS. HOLY SHIT......and east coast. I don’t see rust but I don’t doubt if there is...
Accident reported. “rear impact” “slight damage reported”. Sold 6 months later. Uhhhh
That was quick. ONE MONTH. And it says “Accident reported, Extensive damage reported Airbag deployed”....Crack pipe.....maybe...
This guy claims he’s owned it for 6 months. The carfax says elsewise. This is sketchy. He also texted me
The airbag light is on (he claims a unplug and plug back again in the side door would fix the light). One of the window regulators were broken and a bracket was holding the right window up (the one that has the broken regulator). The window switch for the front windows by the gearshift needs replacement. SO NP or CP? Should I send him this info? He doesn’t know of ANY accidents or most of the car’s history. And how much should I ask based on this incriminating info? FYI it has 200k miles now

Run. Run as fast as you can. Crack pipe for days.

Run away. Like in Monty Python.
Any accident that deploys an airbag is serious. I’m not sure why the car wasn’t written off, but it must have been close. I wonder if it’ll even hold an alignment.
If you must have it, pay an expert to go over it (or a master mechanic who works on them) so you’ll know how much you’ll have to spend to make it right.

Red Flags. Red flags everywhere.
I’d be incredibly suspicious of this car. If it’s so easy to get the light to turn off, why hasn’t he done it?

I haven’t seen the car, and I haven’t driven it but a CarFax reports an accident with air bags deploying twice and now the airbag light is on? If it were me I’d
But that’s just me.

Nope, nope, nope. Dealer will have to reset the codes. So think expensive. Plus that’s major damage. Look elsewhere, a e46 with 200k miles is a 2k car in my area accident free. I know Manuel wagons are rare and awesome, but listen to your gut here.

Are you crazy? This car wasn’t worth any of your effort at the asking price. It probably isn’t worth more than what a local junkyard will pay for it. Just because it has a roundel, manual transmission, and runs doesn’t mean it is safe.
How does this car not have a salvage title?!

so paying almost 5 grand for a 13 year old BMW with almost 200K on it is a thing?
Hell no, leave that thing be

I have decided not to get this. I’m just going to finish trolling this guy for being such a dick. This is crack pipe to an extreme.

Run. Far, far, far away.
I mean, I am the 8th owner of my M3, but there’s no reported accidents or airbag deployments or anything bad along those lines.

I’m surprised you’re asking, that is one hell of a CP.

How is this even a question? It’s obviously an NP!

I don’t think your father missing shifts on a car he hasn’t driven before is indicative of much. My old Pulsar shifted like a dream, but my mother on several occasions hit 5th instead of 3rd or vice versa. Chalk it down to inexperience with the car I reckon.
But still, runaway
