Is This Deal Too Good To Be True?

2006 BMW M3, competition package, BBS wheels, only 21,000 miles on the clock. Dealer asking $27,000. Here is the link:

http://www.automaxchicago.com/carsforsale.aspx (4th car down the page).

Thanks in advance guys. This price seems too cheap. I pulled a carfax report. Didn't see anything suspicious.

You prob need to find out what the auction prices are for these cars. If the miles are legit, then it definitely seems to be a great deal.

Pardon my ignorance, but how would I go about finding said information?

There are many folks on this site that have access to manheim auction results. I am sure one of these folks can give you an idea on what a 2006 M3 competition package was sold at auction.

that car does NOT have the competition package. the steering wheel would be wrapped in alcantara and not leather and have only one button on it.

I hate people selling cars that aren`t even clean when photographed
Guess that car did not get too much love in all those 20k miles...

Yea, it definitely is dirty. The background looks kind of sketchy too. Well, I guess if it doesn't really have the competition package, then it must have an aftermarket suspension, which I am trying to avoid (unless I put one on myself).

Its def. not a competition package and it certainly has been fooled with. Either the interior has never been cleaned or it has more than 20k on it. I would be weary. As dependable as e46 M3s are, they are costly to repair. definitely have a PPI done at a bmw dealership first

Looks to cheap to be true. I'd definitely have a PPI done or call a dealer and ask them to do a VIN check on the service history of the vehicle.

Hmmm looks nice other than it being really dirty. You know what they say though, if it seems too good to be true it probably is. If I was closer I'd seriously check it out.

Like others have said, this is not a ZCP (aka comp pkg). But, the car looks loaded, with nav, heated seats, etc. Assuming the car is in good condition, it should retail for $30k - $35k based on the pricing I'm seeing in SoCal. Something is wrong here.
