Is anyone here in the SF / North Bay area? I'm concerned that the car might be a bit shabby. Good colors though.
For $23,500 ... why would you?

That's not a bad price as far as I can tell. Is that what you're getting at?

I'm unlikely to do anything with this particular vehicle since it is so far away, but I do find the idea of spending $25K rather than $70K+ to replace my x5 quite appealing.

I am and that is a pretty accurate time estimate. I am planning a hike somewhere with friends this weekend. Let me see where that ends up. If its anywhere near there I might be able to stop by.

Thanks Theo, but don't worry about it. The logistics involved in buying a car in California and getting it registered / insured in Massachusetts are just too complicated due to stupid MA regulations.

If I were close enough to see it, drive it, and have a known mechanic do a PPI…I’d pay him asking price right now.

Would I buy a Porsche Turbo sight unseen? Never.

Lets see how this plays out. Are these still going for stupid prices?
