In other news, I also sold my high horsepower Ducati last weekend. If I sell the boxster as well, I'd be down to one normal-ish car (340i) and one regular-ish motorcycle (r1200r). Am I becoming a monk?

Why is every ad like this .. someone purchases the car drives it and then sells it after a couple of months so they can make some money.

Sorry I don’t want the car for you, if the first owner was selling it that is a different story.

I will never buy a car from this website and something tells me no one here would either.
Good catch... THey are becoming their own cliche. 1k miles does not an owner make. I've been seeing and kept getting annoyed at the same things. At least it's clear who's flipping who is not. And the majority of BaT sellers have become flippers/dealers.

I love your car. If it weren't because I just bought an M3 a year ago I'd be seriously interested. Heck, if you hold off one more year, that may well be the case. But unless it's a steal, I don't even dare bring it up to my wife as a real possibility right now.

That, and she is not a red interior-person, but that is not insurmountable.

sorta off topic, but where do you guys find private party cars for sale these days? The message boards seem really slow, autotrader, cargurus, etc are all dealer ads and C-List is just a pile of sh*t. I'm looking for a car for a co-worker (He hates buying cars and I love it, so I do all the searching and he writes the check) and am having a really hard time finding private party listings. Just wondering if there is a place I don't know about that I should be looking at.
