Hmmm, Two questions.

What kind of fuel mileage have you been averaging?



And if I buy it, can I take the convertible for a spin?

But sounds like you'll have to ask her spouse to take the convertible for a spin ;-)

LOL. Of course!

Mileage depends on your lead-footedness. I drive everywhere in Sport in stop-and-go city traffic. That can be as low as 14 MPG. Highway is typically low-30s.

I may have a guy coming this weekend, though. Through BMWCCA. Stay tuned.

If he has another plate, he could bring it down, put it on and drive it back. There is some level of risk for each of you, but it is relatively minimal. I've done it a few times in the past. You're relatively protected w/ a notarized bill of sale as long as he adds it to his insurance, he's relatively protected as well.

You could also let him drive it home on your plate. I guess it depends on the profit over the trade-in value as to the amount of risk you're willing to tolerate.

I've sold to quite a few cars to out of state buyers, even once to a person who lived in Canada and I let them know it's their responsibility to figure out how to get it home, I take off my plates and my registration stickers as there is jo way I am assuming any type of liability once that car leaves my house.

Also keep in mind they might be from a state where they can get a temp.

BTW I would recommend eBay as a place to sell... it sells the car quickly which to me is the best way to sell it. I don't know about you but when I sell a car I want it gone asap.

If you go the eBay route and need any advice please let me know I've sold a lot of cars there.
