Posting this for a friend who is interested in a car that is for sale by copart. http://www.copart.com/c2/homeSearch....SEARCH_RESULTS
This car seems sketchy right of the bat to me because of a few things I noticed. Its not a accident car but its been impounded by the police? A car gets impounded because of police related issues right?
I also noticed the car has 3 custom rims but 1 stock rim. For 59k miles the interior looks like a mess...the cup holder is gone and the roundel in the steering wheel is gone?? Which brings up another point...the car seems to have sport package but that is NOT a sport steering wheel? The front bumper has PDC but the rear does not?
What can you E60 veterans spot?

Ok just my input, if the car has no MAJOR mechanical or electrical probs I'd go for it, alotta ppl dnt wanna deal w/ some TLC but I dont mind(speaking from experience) HOWEVER some of the things you describe do scare me like the missing roundel and half PDC lol. But my car is in fact sport package WITH that steering wheel
*EDIT* a closer look shows it has PDC. Younger eyes I guess lol
