Wow, CarMax offered $59K? Hell, thats my next stop when I get some free time! I'd love to get $59K!!!

 

Yeah but make sure it's got CPO or aftermarket warranty. I bought mine in October last year and I've had to take it in 4 times already. TPMS has been totally replaced (box, harnesses, sensors), coils replaced, thermostat replaced, a cam sensor replaced, and a cam solenoid replaced. And tonight a vent hose on top of the intake broke, but it already had electrical tape all wrapped around it so no telling how long it had been that way. Duct tape is your friend. I'll send pics to the dealer so they can order it.
I should have waited. I paid low 40s for mine then but the prices are still coming down. But I still really like the thing. Well, when it isn't getting fixed!

 

Dude, NOVA got a hit with the job market. I feel your pain. I love the GTS, but these dealer guys are a55holes. They'll put that same car on Cars.com for that 72K you were saying earlier and they'll sleep on the car, until someone budges close cause they have the funds to do so.

 

the market is very very tough to say the least.
keep the car. What kind of work do you do? Let me know if I can help out. I am in NoVA as well.

 

Not to take up for the dealers too much, but keeping cars on the lot right now is a lot like trying to catch a falling knife. They are being very careful because if it stays on the lot for too long then they are in the same position that you are looking to get out of right now though. To the OP best of luck, that is a tough situation.

 

Thanks for all the posts. Ive been giving the car thing a rest. I still have the GTS and Im going to hold onto it until I find a better deal or the economy turns.

 

Susoa, you're in an opposite situation of what I had. I traded in my '01 M5 for a '06 Cayenne Turbo.

If you're looking at an E60 M5 take a look at M5board.com to get an idea of what to watch out for on the E60 M5s. I've had much better luck with Porsches compared to BMWs.

 

Since both your GTS and someone else M5 are taking big hits. Why not find someone at M5board to exchange his M5 for your GTS?

 

Hey Jimdarcy,

Where can I get my hands on that auction information? That exactly what the steelers are quoting!

 

If you know/are friends with a dealer they can probably pull up that information for you.. otherwise you might have to become a dealer to get access to it.

 

List it privately. Dealers will always low ball you.
