Chicago Area

Anyone in the Chicago area want to give me a hand. I live in Boston MA and I found this M5 on Ebay. I was wondering if someone that has experiences with M5's could go take a look at it for me. Seems to be really clean and the price is really good I feel. Any help would be appreciated! The car is located in Morton Grove. Thanks!

Car fax says been in a bad accident. Front end does not line up from the pics. I'd steer clear of it..

I live in Morton Grove. If there is still a interest, let me know.

I would ask the dealer for accident history.. and see what they tell you. If you are OK with fender benders, I can still take a closer look for you.

I have had a few body work my self - got hit from the rear.. and front end got bumped when parked. I would say, as long as the chassis and front end is all untouched, you have to judge whether it's all worth it or not. Obviously a car without ANY history is the one you want to look for. And for 19k, you definitely don't want something salvaged.

I know that car, I've checked out that one about 3 months ago!
I had even an attempt for a test drive but usuccessful.
The check engine light is on - it has some errors - don't know exactly what, the battery is dead and if you turn on the lights (headlights) while engine is running - the engine stops. (Some electrical nightmare - I think). Might be and some other issues but this is what I saw at first.
MY ADVISE: FORGET ABOUT IT! IT'S A JUNK ALL THE WAY ....
