Need Input Right Away!!!!!!

Ok I'm looking for a 335i coupe for my wife. She wants a Monaco blue over saddle brown. I was just looking and I found a 2009 black 335i coupe, sport/ prem package, idrive. With 14,961 miles for 27,000 dollars flat. It at a dealership called crossroad auto sale. I think it's to good to be true. And have any of you have any reviews on crossroad auto sales. Thank you

+1 also never heard of them, that price does sound a bit suspicious maybe they're trying to just get rid of the car?

id call some other dealers around the area and ask about them. I saw a is250 6 speed for way below kbb at the mileage and year it was. i missed the sale and when i talked to a few other dealers about the deal they all said the same thing, "terrible dealer. they buy wrecked cars with clean car fax's and put them back together in a shoddy way. plenty of complaints about them from our customers". So id recommend to google them for complaints and call other dealers.

just my 2¢

Go a Google search and read reviews. You can also check DealerRater.com I believe.

I believe you're right. Definitely sounds too good to be true. You can almost guarantee that car has been in some sort of accident.

If it sounds too good to be true it usually is.

Used dealers often buy salvaged cars and try to sell them at just below what a clean title car costs.

when it comes to used car buying, I would stay away from anything that is below the market price (i.e. good comps - same miles, model year, options, etc) unless you have a good reason to trust the seller.

I learned the hard way on this and it was an expensive lesson! If you don't know the seller just keep looking because chances are, something is wrong with the car or it was wrecked. If you absolutely must consider buying that car, make sure you take it for a pre-purchase inspection and have them look at every inch of the car.

+1.. definitely get the pre-purchase inspection from an indy BMW shop. It is so worth the $100+ you will spend.

Did they quit making the 3 in Monaco Blue, and now it's only LeMans? I am actually about to order, and I can't not decide between going LeMans or Space Grey again. Sorry to hijack the thread!

Savalged title, flood damage, lemon? Sometimes CarFax takes up to 3 months to report any findings.....make sure you have a good mechanic check inside and out for any signs of abuse, damage, or other. Since it's not a CPO, does the dealer offer any type of warranty or back up your purchase with a 30 day return policy?

Yeah, I'm not buying the car, because it's likely that something is wrong with it.
