Whose Car is This

fastgoat · 08-16-2024, 04:55 PM

Hi All -- I'm working a deal on this car, but was hoping the previous owner or another member has any details about its history. Please ignore the terrible wrap as I'll be removing it day 1.

I'd leave the wrap on, that's free paint protection for you that cost someone a couple grand probably.

BroDoze · 08-16-2024, 05:16 PM

With such a common color, I don't think you'll find the original owner..

Carefree · 08-16-2024, 05:24 PM

Leave it as is and apply for a job with Mary Kay.

Agreed on the paint protection, but I'm not as keen on driving a pink car as my 8 year old daughter

Just tell her if she can get straight A's and no boyfriends for the next 10 years it'll be hers.

Rumor has it she lives in Malibu. Iykyk

All joking aside, congrats on the purchase!

I wouldn’t touch a car that was fully wrapped unless I personally knew the owner and it’s a reputable/known shop.

What deal are you getting? Starting price is very high.

The price is stupid

DS_BMW · 08-17-2024, 02:57 AM

Why would you buy it with new ones available for less money??

Not only that but being a MY24 with buckets means it has the full carbon package. The wrap is silly but the price is fair.

Price this car out new and it's $79k. At $69k, it's a decent price for the options it has.

BroDoze · 08-17-2024, 09:35 AM

Depending on when the wrap was done, the paint could be pristine underneath…

fastgoat · 08-17-2024, 10:54 AM

They agreed to sell the car for $68,000. I haven’t closed on the deal yet as I’m in Chicago and waiting on a friend to go see it in person. I thought the price was fair given it has the full carbon package and low miles.

To other folks’ points, my only hesitation is a gamble on the quality of paint or wrap shop.

Not sure I would say 7,200+ miles on a MY24 is low miles. I would sure want an independent mechanic (who is trusted and knows M cars) to inspect.

Considering a potential early 2024 delivery and if this was daily driven, 7,200 miles is not very concerning at all. It would also still have the 3 year warranty likely.

Personally, would never consider buying a car that has a wrap unless they removed it. Some installers cut the wrap while on the car. In some cases, they accidentally cut into the paint. Only way to know for sure there's no damage is to fully remove the wrap and inspect the car top to bottom.

A lot of unknowns and assumptions for a used M car with a wrap. To each their own, I guess.
