Too good to be true?

BobGonwild · 09-10-2014, 11:13 PM

How can a vehicle likes this be selling for this price with this low mileage, fully loaded! Is this car too good to be true? If not, what could possibly be wrong with it? Various sources are indicating that the purchasing price on this vehicle is higher than it's selling price...something seems off since its coming from a used dealership.

Does sound like its too good to be true. When I was looking at preowned 3-series, similarly loaded 328s were about that price or sometimes more expensive and that too 2012 with higher miles. For a 2013 335i it seems pretty cheap for the miles and options. I'm guessing you pulled your own Carfax and salvage reports apart from what the dealer displayed? If not, thats what you should do first. Also, considering this is third party and not a BMW dealer further raises red flags.

You checked "various sources" but did you not even look at the actual dealer website???

The Carfax is messed up...shows a big red "Branded Title: Buyback/Lemon"!!

I wonder if that car did duty as a part-time 'submarine'?
