Re: 2001 Dakar Yellow M5 For Sale
Ah, good to hear.
I, in fact, will be doing the same thing this week- (but on the other 'side')
I found an 03 with a private party, and found a dealer willing to do the same thing: in one sitting the current owner sells to the dealer, they cpo it, and I buy it.
It took some talking on my part to find a dealer/finance manaer/GM willing to do this. In my deal, the dealer is never 'at risk' since they don't complete the purchase transaction until I sign the deal (and fork over the cash). Some dealers might be willing to actually own it for a while (especially if they are getting $3k), but as you note these are not easy for anyone to sell.
In my case I paid up front for the cpo 'inspection'- once that passed they were willing to proceed. The are only charging $1295 for the cpo extended warranty (which is the only reason to do this, IMHO). Interestingly, the brakes were the biggest risk- cpo requires they be >50% but the free maintenance will not pay until much lower.... luckily brakes were fine.
Total add-on to me was $1700 plus 800 for rear tires.
Good luck with the clk.

PS I don't think the ad is a mistake- Niello will get something out of it... if nothing else Todd and Candy get a few more calls and try to sell a 7 series..
PPS When the deal is done, I'll post a dealer feedback- you guys will drop your teeth when you hear- if you know the N. CA landscape.
