I just got a 2008 FS with HRE wheels, rear camera, sunroof, etc with 40k miles, 1 owner lease return, full service history, full 40k service from spark plugs, wipers, oil, air filters all done and clean 1 owner carfax.
I paid $85k and couldn't be happier! Car was turned in by lessee on 12/24, I bought it 12/29. The car is white just like I was looking for ever since seeing a Supersports, and had them paint grille black and HRE rims black with white lips.

Pic of my car before put on truck in CA for delivery, arrives tomorrow!

I dodged a huge bullet, I almost bought a white 2007 from a dealer in Texas and accidentally stumbled across their Yelp rating of 0.5 out of 5 and multiple comments of people receiving cars with multiple issues. At last second I had them bring car to Bentley dealership who offered a $350 pre purchase inspection. Long story short, I planned to drive the car home from dealer 450 miles to New Orleans and dealer said the tires were unsafe, the car "shook terribly" driving down the road. The car had a vacuum leak that kept the engine vacuum pump running and could have already damaged it and cost possibly thousands and worn bushings in suspension from oversized rims, and no tpms sensors. There was no service records or proof of any recent service done over 2 owners in past two years and oil was black. Needed all new brakes, 40k service which is over $2k also.

In a nutshell, the car needed about $4k to $6k in repairs depending on engine vacuum leak, and another $4,600 in service, and about $2k for tires. The deal they offered was my cars + $5k for their 2007 FS with 40k miles and 3 previous owners for car in Texas.

Within 15 minutes of calling eurocars after finding a perfect one owner 2008 with a few more options and same 41k miles, they offered me $86k for my cars, and lowered theirs to $85k! So I actually paid $6k less for newer car, with one owner, same miles, all service just completed and up to date and full service history! Reading the Yelp review on Eurocars had all positive comments and I should be adding one more tomorrow when my car arrives.

I can't believe how badly some people treat their cars, expensive or otherwise. Glad you dodged that one!
