01 M3 laguna seca/grey interior 53K miles 6mt Prem Pkg. Cold Weather PKg

asking $29999 they will sell it at my offered price of $27500. The car being out of warranty concerns me but it is a benz and porsche dealership and its been through a full inspection and has passed. What do you guys think? Good Buy?
Is there any way of buying a warranty through BMW now that is expired?

Thanks Again,
Ali

Yes, you can purchase an aftermarket warranty. Make sure that if you do, you haggle on the price. Dealers make a pretty healthy markup on them. I got a 2 yr. extended, but it will prob. be cheaper than yours on that car because mine was under the 50k mile mark. Over 50k, it will cost you more...prob. about $1000-1300 each additional year for extended warranty. If you like the car enough, go for it. Took me about 4 months to find mine.

Hmmmm...i decided to wait a lil to find one with under 50K and existing warranty for the exact reasons you just mentioned. Thanks for the advice

Thanks for the links Jd. I talked to that 2nd lind but he wont come off the price at all. That is the perfect color but there has to be room for negotiation. As for the third link the car has a shady past. thanks for looking out though
