As some know, I've been (very) actively searching for a 2003 M5...so I tend to get to know all the current sales.
Here is a VIN that's popped up 3 separate time- first time on ebay by the original owner. Then again on ebay with a car dealer. and finallly on cars.com and a few newspapers by a car broker.
Here is the reason for posting. The original post describes a 'defect'- the car was repainted on the right rear. THis is NOT in car fax. Here is the original description:
"The car has a clean title, clean car fax is in perfect condition. It did have minor repaint on the rear right side and we were told this by the owner of Tomlinson. We did not hesitate as this was the car we wanted and it had full warranty and was assured that it was not noticeable to the eye, only by a paint detecting machine. We had cashiers check made out, drove 6 hours to Gainesville and purchased the vehicle. Upon inspection we moved the car into all angles of sunlight and were please to notice that the damage must have been very minimal as it can not be distinguished by anyone unless you are a car repair man. "

Both the second and third sales attempts were silent on this repaint..
I just got off the phone with the broker who was more than a little surprised when I told him this.

PS Two points to this post- one, in case anyone is looking at this they should know and two, carfax was worthless!
