What would you do if you were me?
A friend of mine is an auto broker (honda/acura) and found a 05 330i AW/Tan interior AT with 46k single owner in Florida. Carfax is clean with no paperwork or background info. Back in August they were asking $10k, now they are asking $9k. My broker friend who is sourcing my future car for me (for a small fee) got them down to $7,900 and I was stoked about acquiring her. Since there's no guarantee I had a PPI done in Miami and they found $9k worth of repairs they recommended. The big ticket items were oil pan gasket leak, valve cover gasket leak and transmission oil pan leak in addition to the AC not working and a slew of other items like suspension overhaul. This isn't including any of the prone-to-fail items that we all know of, this is simply what the PPI is finding today.
For what it's worth, I wouldn't feel comfortable doing these repairs so I'd have a local indy shop perform the work.
What do you think this car is worth? It was a trade-in and the auto broker claimed there were no leaks, AC works great and drives strong where the PPI suggests very differently.
