Looking for 30-40K mile range. Warranty till 2010 or 2011. I would like to find something in the North East if possible. I would also like something that has had no accidents or paintwork.

Please PM me if you have something of interest.

Thanks

Manheim is where you should be looking for a car. Prices are sooo sweet.
MMR for a 2002-2003 M5 w/~60K miles is about $20K

How do I go about purchasing one from Manheim? I know it is an auction. If someone would not mind explaining the process that would be great. Whatever one I get I would like service records, clutch replaced and checked with a paint meter.

Thanks

You should contact an independent dealer, who works with the auctions.
You can order a PPI from Manheim and get a 14-day warranty.
Service records can be obtained form a dealer, where the car was serviced

What I will do is contact my friend who has bought a couple cars through a guy that goes to auction. I will have him look for the car I described. Is there a way for me to find out what he pays for it? This way I just pay a commision to him.

I would also have the PPI done on the car and the paint checked.

Thanks
