Need some advice on Used m4

Hi guys,

I am looking at a used m4 for sale with 55K mi and sitting at around 37K for sale. I was looking at the carfax and there's some minor damage reported on the vehicle in terms of cosmetics. Is there anything else that I should pay attention to?

Get a PPI done.

You can still arrange for a PPI, the seller (private or dealer) should be willing to drop the car off at the shop performing the inspection.

What if the seller refuses. Also should the car be bought with a warranty or is an out of warranty purchase not needed?

Then walk on the sale.

As for the warranty, search the forum.

I’d agree with getting a ppi done, as far as warranty it really depends on what you are doing with the car, most warranties will be void if you do any kind of tune etc. so if you are planning on doing that I’d skip it.

Do you plan to mod the car? If not, I say opt for the warranty and mod, sell or keep as is after it expires.
