Whose Florida car is this? white on red 335i

About to buy this on ebay, anyone on here? Trying to figure out what other modifications it has, if it has tune, or if it was beat up. Autocheck shows it registered in Miami, Land O Lakes, and Fernandina Beach.

Why, can you back up that information? I am getting a 3rd party to inspect it and im shipping it through them so I can take advantage of their buy-back guarantee. Also comes with 3 months of warranty. They have 0 negative feedback anywhere on the web.

that car looks like it has at least a FMIC and exhaust, so most likely it has/had a tune and was beat up on. I wouldnt buy it.

I agree with the above posters. You want a car that's been driven by a grandma, not one of us. I'd find another car.

At this point, all 335s have been beat on. They are a tuners car, might as well get a color combo that I like. Worst thing that can happen is the turbos blow and ill get RB turbos.

Their buy back guarantee means nothing. Buy at your own risk.

Thank you for making me aware of this. They aren't BBB accredited so some of that information might not be accurate but still enough for me to be scared.

Unfortunately I jumped the gun and already put a deposit on it. I am having an inspector fully inspect it and look out for any specific issues.

I manage a business and 118 complaints is alot but for a company that does 500 million a year in sales, hopefully i'll be okay.

I don't recommend buying a car you can't test drive and see your self. BTW this car looks very familiar, i think i've seen it on e90post before. I'll try to see if i can find it.

you can thank me later after searching, here is the car for sale from a member called saloon, it even has his telephone number posted, you could try giving the original guy a call, he has nothing to lose and i'm sure he'll tell you the truth since he no longer is trying to sell it:
