WTB: Manual ZHP in Tennessee

[NYRhockey]

I bought mine sight unseen from FL, but this is a great community and had a member (barefoot) kindly go look at it and gave me a great report and pictures. After that it went to a PPI at the local BMW and then we went forward with the purchase. It can be done and you (anyone) could be passing on a great vehicle because of it. Silly, imo.

I'm with BMWM3186 on this - I would never buy a car sight unseen, no matter how well it's described. It's due diligence. But, then again, if someone does buy a car without seeing it, then that means they're ok with that, and are willing to live with whatever discrepancies they find. I guess we are just not those kinds of people.

Besides, checking a car out, even if everything checks out, just means you can drive it back, and that is most of the fun in the process!

Guess you missed the part where I mention about PPI. Unless of course, you don't consider PPI as part of your due diligence. Kidding.

When it comes to the running of the car - especially the used ones - and inspecting everything under the hood and beneath the car, I would rather take the report of a trusted or reputed mechanic than go by what my eyes convey.

My bigger point was that our site (+ PPI ) can be trusted a bit more than the other sites.

But typically mechanics don't care about cosmetics and other little things that would be important to someone that's picky.

A PPI only does so much. It won't give you a feel for the seller, which is also important.

bump. Still looking for a clean car, my options are pretty much open to a sport package 325 and 330 as well now. Preferably 2002-2006

Bought a car. Will be making a post about it very soon.

Good to hear

"ZHP is a garbage option anyway- just some cosmetic upgrades with a different cam and diff to claw back some of the performance lost fitting those hideous and heavy wheels. Any 330 with a 3.46 diff will smoke a ZHP every time. The whole Mafia thing reeks of childish behavior." - anonymous E46 fanatic
