It may define you I guess. Aside from that, and because I don't resort to pettiness like you -i.e. comparing my car's features in CAPS no less to emphasize success-, I congratulate you on a good deal. But I got a good deal too, but I won't wait for you to endorse to feel content. |

Uh, how are you going to get a warranty from BMW when buying from an individual? |

Your whole thought process is a bit mind boggling also. You make comments about buying a BMW means needing to be ok with dropping money for unexpected repairs yet in prior threads mention saving money to raise your daughter while buying $400 caliper covers because the MPBK is too expensive, but are in the process of dropping 5k+ to add M-Sport stuff to your car.

In addition, I am skipping MPE, which I would like, but don't want to pay so high, so I opted for a muffler delete. On top of that, I opted for aftermarket CF parts, one third of OEM. So I did make choices. It may not be the choices you would make but it's ok. As for the car itself, I have only done oil and brake changes. You'd think that a salvage-titled vehicle would have more issues, no? As for my daughter, am saving plenty, trust me....yes, I could be saving more by sitting on my couch and not do car mods; am sure that would be the case for you, if not most of us here. |

Guy who sold it to me had 2 Porsches, a Yukon Denali and was dropping 100K in renovating his house. Do you think a type of guy like him would try to fool somebody for 30K...I think not. I also think we should end this discussion....for the opposite reason you do: because the car is fine. |

Anyways, I would still get a PPI if you can. It doesn't hurt to get a 3rd party to take a peak at it before flying out. It is worth the $200 IMO.

You're quite a smart-"fill your blank here" But you know what? it's ok. There are folks like you out there that deserve to be ignored. I will not reply to you on any thread going forward, including this one. Promise. |

There are lots of cars like this that are operable and can be fixed. This particular one may fetch, say 35K, plus if you drop another 10-15k, depending on the situation, you can have a good X5M. But, absolutely, there is always an element of risk, and whoever ventures into buying should be cognizant of the fact. |

X5M with salvaged title for $35k = bad deal Sound logic. PS- that auction ends in 13 hours, so it’s not hitting $35k. |

One could make a pretty lucrative business out of buying these salvage titled cars, repairing them and selling them to folks looking for a deal. Nawmsayin

FYI - the dealer came back $1,000 less just like someone on here said (or an additional $1,500 off if I didn't want CPO). Dealer said they are in the car for $43k. Not sure if I believe that or not - someone I know just traded in a 2015 sdrive3.5i in with 23,000 miles for $37,500 (albeit different states and not near as many options as the one I'm looking at). I guess I will continue my search! |

So, to summarize your advice:
-don’t buy CPO -buy salvage and don’t have it inspected. |

Saying they’re into it for 43k is complete BS imo, unless they are counting their refurbishment/repairs to get it to CPO shape at ridiculous market or higher than market prices ie. Paint bumper scuffs $2000, fix wheel curbage $1500, all fluids/wipers/etc $2000, new tires $2400 etc. There’s no way they gave more than 35 on trade in for it, probably less....if that is the case tell them you would like to sell them your car because their buyer is very generous |
