2018 M3 DCT, Atlantis Blue, Full Leather, $86k MSRP 9500mi, Non-paint ding on Carfax
Hey guys, I have my car up for sale at my cousin's dealership on consignment. There is a blemish on the carfax and pinpoint pits on the grill, windshield, emblem, xPel which I did not fix because I honestly don't think I'll get the money out of it and the car looks great as is. If it did not have the carfax ding it would probably sell for a lot more than I'm asking so my thought is that the claim check will make up some of the difference in sales price and someone will get a rare, highly optioned M3 at a great price. The Story It was heavily peppered by small rocks on the highway. The car has a full wrap around xPel clear bra so the paint, headlights, and mirrors, etc were all protected. However, if you look closely at the grill, BMW emblem, front clear bra, and windshield, you'll notice pinpoint pits(but no cracks or chips). I called my insurance agent to ask what, if anything, my insurance would do and he jumped the gun and submitted a claim. The Good:
The Bad:
Full Disclosure: The car was broken in properly and after the first service, it was tracked a total of 8 days between January 30th and May 29th. I had a dedicated set of track wheels, tires, a full Big Brake kit(since 1600 miles), so tires have tons of thread, the wheels are perfect, and the brakes are like new. Listing can be found at here: 2018 M3 DCT Atlantis Blue Please keep in mind that I realize that a car with any history might not be everyone's cup of tea. If you feel strongly that the car should be given away because of it, I'm not in a hurry to sell and I'm not entertaining "low ball" offers so, please no need to comment or PM. Otherwise, if anyone from the forums has any questions, please let me know. I'm happy to provide info but the deal will run through the dealership so I can get the sales tax credit on another purchase. These pictures were taken in March, they were the last pictures I took myself, but the car still looks the same. Best Regards, Ali |

Who would've ever thought we'd see *TWO* different 2018 M3s in individual Atlantis paint on the first page of the For Sale section at the same time?

Such a great looking car. Am I understanding correctly that the insurance Co reported damage to the car because you asked if they'd cover the clear bra damage?

Also what do you mean it's going to go through the dealership? Are you saying the dealership will broker the transaction at the agreed upon price? Do they get a commission or markup out of it? |

At that point I was faced with two options. Option one was to take check, fix the car, and file for depreciated value with the insurance or take the check and sell the car at a discount. In terms of the dealership, he's my cousin, I pay him a fee separately for processing the transaction. The only reason I mention it is because it's officially listed at his dealership but I'm posting the same car on the forum. |
