Too good to be true?

[KBoogie]

My g/f was looking to get a E36 like my car... but found a 2000 323ci for $12900...... only 38,000 miles. The guy said that its a clear title, no wrecks, ever, and is still under factory warranty?? I mean, it seems like a VERY good deal to me..... i am going to run the vin number and see if any thing comes up.
Thanks guys,
KB

take it to a mechanic/dealer, get everythingchecked out. 12900 is like 6-7k under blue book. and ci are more popular so they sell for like 21k or so. also im assuming the guy bought the 6-year extended, since he said it was still warranted, so see if that one is transfereable.

yesterday i was droppin off the car and took a stroll through the CPO lot, they wanted like 24k for a 4dr and like 29 for a 4dr 328.

sound too good

Remember if it sounds too good to be true then it probably is!!! Although it is still under warranty!

Yeah, it does sound too good to be true. But perhaps the owner just wants to get rid of it real quick.

It might be under warranty, but that doesn't mean it isn't the mother of all lemons...

Yeah that price seems to be real low . I just sold my 2000 323 Ci for 19k with 60k miles on it.[headbang]

When I bought a used BMW I called BMW customer service and gave them the VIN. They will not tell you anything personal but the gal there did tell me the car was serviced properly and did not have any service history other than regular service.

that is way too good to be true. Remember that some states consider a car salvage while others consider them clear, so be really careful because of that. For example, i am lookin into either a 2000 323ci or a 1998 528i and i gave up on the 323ci or anything that is two door and 2000+ in year because they are in high demand, and are pricey. I cannot find ANYTHING for less than $18,500 and even then, it has like 75k - 100k miles on it...so if that deal is for real, u are the luckies son of a bitch i know...and if you dont want it, i will take it in a heartbeat!
