Found the one I want. It's in Florida , though, so my backup is in town. 2008 CPO 335i, all bells and whistles, clean CarFax. Haven't contacted the dealer yet, but I think I can get it for around $30k.
Two issues: would have to puck it up in FLA or have it shipped, and the dealer has a poor rating on DealerRatings.com. For the first, anyone have an idea on shipping costs? For the second, not sure what to make of it. On the one hand, it's a CPO and I won't ever have to deal with the dealer past the purchase. On the other, there's some chance they're hiding something that I won't see until I've arrived in FLA or had it arrive at my house.
Any advice on how to deal with this situation? It's the clear favorite for me (maroon, two-tone interior, all options, etc.), but there are a couple of alternatives locally that are also really nice. Since I've never bought a car sight-unseen, I don't know all the perils. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
