Take a reed through this thread. May answer most of your questions if you read all of it.

Ask them if they can get you the service history. Probably not, but it doesn't hurt to ask.
If not, go to your local BMW dealer with that VIN number and ask them if they can at least read the service history (they may not be willing to print and give it to you).

Oh my bad they want 19500 obo. And there's a 06 550i for 16500k look at the classifieds on this site

Thank you ! very helpful guide

jtbgonesailing

You're welcome! Looks like a nice 550i. If you go forward, may want to have a pre purchase inspection performed by a BMW dealer or good Indy. $150-200. Money well spent. Also have them pay particular attention to right area of impact damage to ensure it was properly repaired... All being a ounce of prevention vss pound of cure.... Good luck!

star69me

Wow good info on the report..
just to tossing my 2 cents in.
The 550i that you want
08 550i
98250 k miles
$17,966. Great price
However
The 550i that's on the site I mentioned
08 550i
85000 k miles
$19,500. OBO (haggable price)

Your pick. My thought
98250 k miles - 85000 k miles = 13250 k mile diff
$17966. - $19500 obo
= $1534. Cost diff
2 questions
1. Is it worth it to pay $1524. Obo More dollars for 13250 k less miles?
2. Is it such a great deal to you to pay $1524. Less for 98250 miles and say oh shit I'm at 100k miles in 2 months of driving?
Myself I would try to see what I could haggle the $19k down to.

Or
The 07 550i with 99555 k miles for $16000 6 SP manual that's also on this site..
Don't mind me though I'm just board at work.. this is a great site

I have a jet blk 550i great car

I'd sell you my white 08 with 89k for $19500 or $21k with 3 years/30k mile warranty remaining, all maintenance up to date, actually ahead as I've already had the plug service done, and freshly aligned (there now to fix the wandering issue since it was aligned to incorrect specs) I'll even bring it to you so I can pick up a car in Dothan.
