Lol, of course sales of F15 is sluggish. You go to buy BMW and you get Lexus.
I like this edycol guy.

Yeah, both cars are still there, but the 2015 is probably not viewable since it is going through its CPO certification today. I'm leaning toward the 2016 anyway.

Honestly, I can't imagine there's anything wrong with the car given it has <4k miles on it. One thing I did think of is that if he sees the car and says it looks great, I could avoid flying to Baltimore on saturday and just do the deal sight unseen...

Who'd you talk to? Might help them take him seriously if he says he's your buying agent.

I've been emailing with Kourosh Nadali. He just quoted me $20-$23K on my trade so I'm going to go ahead and guess the Takata thing is over.

You have the engine that needs constant maintenance right?

Well, it should technically be ok now after the N63 recall work was done.

Wow, that's great. I didn't let the dude know that someone might be stopping by, so I'm curious about his reaction! Big thanks to you and your dad!

I love Mocha in my X3. It goes well with the gray exterior. I believe it would look good with black too.
