I dunno, everytime I see an ad like that, it makes me very suspicious. Plus a quick search on carfax yielded 13 results. Either this guy/gal moved a lot or it could have been out of commision for awhile due to an accident.

But if this is a single owner vehicle then it would be an excellent buy. [thumb]

I don't trust carfax much though. It said that my camaro when I owned it had no accidents. I carfaxed it a year later and it said it had one with damage but I was in none myself. That car is long gone so there's not much I can do about it anymore...

Bahnstormer I ran NADA, the most used on the west coast and got 22-26, I ran KBB and got 21. Did you notice the mileage is 7900, not 79000?

I agree with you Tom, I'd check those entries on Carfax. They had about a dozen on my 318is, yet the only two owners were my brother and I. I believe they listed it sold in Germany, then he ships it home, registers it, etc, etc. Best to check though and be save.

CARFAX found no inconsistent odometer readings in the mileage history of this 1998 BMW M ROADSTER (WBSCK933XWLC86332).

That's amazing, how can you ONLY drive a car like that 1,121 miles per year average??

My 2001 Z3 3.0i showed up on carfax as having been built in Germany! Being a newbie to the BMW's, I thought that was great, now I find conflicting info on that item.

Tell me, where can I look to find out exactly where my Z3 was built?
