I'm planning on buying a m235i but I don't know if this a good or fair deal. Here is the link to the car https://www.truecar.com/used-cars-fo...-bmw-2-series/

Looks like there was a minor accident before.

Link says clean carfax but the price is massively low. I assume the sticker was originally $52k-$53k.

Being 1 year old with 22k miles...the price surprises me and says buyer beware. How did you gather it had an accident?

I'm sure you've checked but KBB thinks 34 to 40k for that year, miles, and options.

Seems like that price is what you'd expect to pay after negotiating. Please let us know if you go see it.

As a side note, I hate it when dealers drown the interior plastics with Armor All. Ugh slippery steering wheel.

Funny, I was going to say the same thing. They took the easy way out. Just wipe everything down with a thick greasy layer of Armor All. It's really an awful product and makes the interior feel terrible.

Completely agree. I never understood the need to grease up the interior. I use Adam's Matte Interior cleaner and haven't looked back.

Seems like the price is ok considering I paid $38K for my used 2014 m235i with 8,500 miles. However, mine only had the Technology package and the HK sound system from what I know. At least you know you'll be covered under the factory warranty since it is a 2014. Good luck! Let us know how it goes.

P.S. I got mine from a used exotic car dealership.

The car is two model years old. Price seems reasonable.

Car fax stated there was an accident

Many years ago I was shopping for an Eos for my wife (then girlfriend) and we found one at that dealer. It was also a "good deal" because of an accident but after seeing it in person I got bad feeling about the car and dealership. As they say in life "Good, fast, cheap" pick two.

Their yelp reviews have a good deal of unpleasant comments as well regarding bait and switch pricing.

I'd consider taking a look but with a big grain of salt and be prepared to walk away.

Wow...after looking at the Yelp reviews, I would absolutely not buy a car from these folks. They have horrible ratings with most ratings being 1 out of 5 stars. As you read the narratives, there are several complains about bait and switch and excessive hidden fees. You know it's bad when the sales manager has a standard cut-and-paste response for negative reviews.

Ha, dad told me something similar about women a long time ago. Sexy, sane, single. Pick 2, you can't have 3.
