No, I didn't buy another Porsche - at least not yet . But hey guys - I just put down a deposit on an '08 BMW 328xi coupe 6MT with every conceivable option, plus 6MT. Car's for my kid in grad school. It's dark metallic blue (Monaco) over gray - nice car with 20K miles. Got it at a reasonable price from a BMW dealer with CPO and 2 years left on factory warrantee. Dealer says car is 'flawless' - new tires, etc. The carfax says it was a "manufacturer's car' bought at auction by the dealer. Any issue or problem with that? I'm assuming not a demo - what do you think? Thanks!!! I'm not posting this on the BMW board because I trust you guys more without question.

 

Lease return ussually....BMW frequently takes leased vehicles and auctions them back to dealers.

 

dont even know what to say about that

 

If "manufacturer's car" meas "press car" than it had the crap beaten out of it

 

Oh jezus, Phil has either gone senile or totally f*cking nuts!!!!!


OK, like Fty stated above ^ it's probably a BMW lease return that the dealer picked up.


Sounds like a nice car and with 20K miles on it, it probably doesn't have a sulfated battery!

 

Phil, it would be a lot less money to get a car without a motor... since you wont drive it anyhow

 

Or it's probably a company car for BMW employees... BMWNA is in NJ...

Yes, my office is 2 minutes from there, MBNA is right there as well.
Tons of company BMW's and MB's running around.

 

Phil, you sound like a great Dad. Grad school is difficult enough, without having to worry about car problems. I bet your kid will love it. My son and I just got his 944 (first car) running Thursday. It was more exciting than if it had been my own.
