    Gosh, that's so cheap I'm surprised The Cartel doesn't buy it to crush it to raise the value of their coupes.

    That sucks for me. I just listed my roadster in the Atlanta CL at cartel pricing. I'm doing my part. I need some cartel assistance with this guy, pronto.

    ^ Dude you could probably buy the M Coupe listed in the OP with the taxes you've paid on all those cars.

    Why did you sell the M3 Coupe?

    I believe he keeps buying the cars sight unseen, and when he gets them they're not in that great of condition.
    The Techno Violet M3 wasn't too bad, though.

    More or less true. They were all great deals, but ended up having some horrible flaws in the end (except this 330). Oddly enough, I'm still up money despite having gone through all of them.

    The M3 was a turd (by my horribly skewed standards). Ran great, awesome color combo (techno/magma)- but it's body was pitiful. I don't think a single panel was untouched by shoddy paintwork, and I'm horribly anal in regards to exterior appearance. Unfortunately the PO had blatantly lied about a lot of things on the car- which I found out after I had brought the car from NYC to CHI.

    A coupe is imminent in my near future.

    It's pretty much the only way I will ever purchase a car.

    I just contacted the guy. Here's what I got from him. If anyone has more information, please post it.
    • battery dead
    • needs fuel injectors cleaned
    • 90xxx miles
    • black interior and exterior
    • needs 2 tires
    • WBSCM9338XLC60307
    • 2nd owner

    I'm seriously interested in the car, and am wondering if anyone in the area could check it out for me? I'm a 6 hour drive away. PM me please!

    This post above is my brother-in-law. Please help him, Rocknroad, 2kredz3 if you're out there. The owner seems a bit clueless and clearly part of the cartel saying this would appreciate to $70k in 10 years. Help us out.

    sounds suspicious to me. Dead battery??? How can you do a test drive with a dead battery?

    Any seller who's serious would replace the battery so the car could at least start. There's more to this than he's letting on.

    At 6500, we're seeing wrecked ones sell for that just in parts. As for sound suspicious, yes it is. Risk vs Reward 101. At 12000 I would be suspicious, at 5-6k, you should be cautious but it's not a deal-breaker.
