You will be hooked once you drive that car ! I hope the condition passes your inspection !
These cars are in a class by themselves, that color combo is sharp .

Yeah I hope so … looks really good in the pictures hopefully drives and sounds just as good and it will be a keeper.. haven’t been able to find a car I like coming out of 2020 and 2023 bmw X-5m comp 2 times now hopefully I will want to keep this for a long time would be cool..But I’m super picky and I just started to think this panny looks good a few months back never paying it any attention and thinking it looks like **** .. Something happened to me because now I think it looks great .. grew on me.. lololol … we shall see fingers crossed

Buy a paint meter on Amazon, return after you inspect…

djdonte

Sooo... did you buy it. Also I agree these cars are special. I really thought it would be a nicer RS5 but its so much different.

Still waiting for it .. should be delivered this week hopefully … I’ll post pictures and give an update but most likely buy it

Ok so I test drove the car and it checks out very good condition and the wheels are def OEM...But when I stopped after driving the car for 15 minutes and popped the hood to take a look at the engine it felt very hot and I almost could not touch the oil cap because it was so hot. I had the AC on during my test drive as well..Is this normal ? no warning lights or anything came on but I was surprised to feel how hot the hood and Engine felt?? Is this a Porsche performance car thing or should I be cautious here?

cars get hot - it's OEM

Cbk1013

lol

honestly, though... did you take an infrared thermo to get a true reading? things that feel 'hot' is subjective, not objective. we're just trying to assist, but you also have to be prepared when going to take a car for a test ride and subsequent inspection. I, though have been called **** (and other pleasantries), take an infrared thermostat, tire tread measurement gauge, scan tool, and a variety of other trinkets when going to evaluate any car, regardless of price. Quite simply, used cars are just that - used cars. And those that sell them are called 'used car salesmen/saleswomen' - and as Mike Brady (dating myself) said to Greg, "Caveat Emptor".

You need to be your #1 advocate... if it's the right car, you will know. Based on your assessment, it doesn't appear so.

It’s a V8, lots of heat………

I'm not taking all that crap I have 1500 mile warranty can return for any reason I'll be fine and another 4,000 mile full coverage warranty that comes with the car and I can purchase an additional 500 deductible 75k mile warranty for an extra 2500 and the car is at 31k right now so another 41k miles full coverage if I wish to spend 2500..car has a little bit of lag but rips after that...yeah prob just v8 heat like u said
