Pre Purchase Inspection
Sanjay took a look at her yesterday and here is his report.
Hey Tim,
I saw and drove Dell's car yesterday. It is in very good shape and drives great for a car with 4 years/60k miles under its belt.
I think the ebay pics are very representative of the real thing....it's a pretty car. Tires have good tread, still smells like leather inside.
The car drives strong and sounds great. made me wish I had a catback on mine...what a great sound. As with all the modded M5's I've driven, I honestly don't see a huge difference in SOTP acceleration compared to my stocker.
The suspension was nice...much firmer than stock, but still comfortable on Houston city streets. Nav works, stereo is functioning as new.
Sure looks pretty under the hood with all the carbon fiber and strut tower brace! The rear brace doesn't seem to impinge on cargo capacity, and he doesn't have the folding rear seat option anyway.
The UUC clutch grabs nicely and is still light, streetable, and free of chatter. Shifter has no rattles. The whole car was squeak free during my drive. In fact, I wish my 03 was as free of squeaks as Dell's...I have to keep lubing my weatherstripping, or else it creaks like my old 5 liter Mustang. ;-)
The only little things that I noticed are a number of rock chips on the hood (more noticeable on a black car) and the weather stripping is worn on the drivers mid B pillar. Also, the rubber seal along the rain gutter at the top trailing edge of the drivers door is cracked.
All in all, I think it's a good car, and Dell is a stand up guy.
Good luck, and keep me posted!

He is going to take it to Matthews.
It is very likely I will fly down and drive her back. If I get a killer transport deal I will transport it. I figure with flight and gas etc. it will cost me $500 to drive it back.
Hey, if I DO fly down maybe we could have an impromptu Houston meet

Yeah maybe Rob and myself could meet up with you as well, I have yet to meet the Houston posse, but all in due time, JoshTim W said:He is going to take it to Matthews.
