Talking Scored a nice E61

Hi all.
Thanks for an informative forum, seems like a great resource!
I've been lurking on BaT auctions for an E61 for a while, and was ready to spend the bucks on a Volvo V90. But then I found a sweet E61 on Carvana, of all places!
65k miles, 2010. Carfax says one owner, dealer serviced
Space grey metallic
Dakota schwarz leather
Not sure what equipment is standard or what's part of an option package, but it's nicely kitted out
I don't think the rear seat was ever sat in, and the rear center armrest looked untouched.
I'll be bringing it to an indy shop on Friday for a once-over and I'll be really disappointed and surprised if anything is amiss. With the Carvana guarantee, I have until Tuesday to request a return. Not likely!
First thing is to replace the Carvana license plate frame, then find a nice park to take some good photos.

Cheers,
Mike

Congratulations Mike, and to the forum! You are smart to get an independent evaluation. These cars are complicated and $$ to fix, so if you can get anything repaired under warranty, it's in your best interest.

P.S. Glad you didn't go with the Volvo. B-O-R-I-N-G!

Thanks, Jay! Yeah, even with a supercharger and a turbo, the V90 4 banger doesn't quite do it. Comfortable seats, though, and the doodads on any luxury 2020 car are extensive, that's for sure. Very happy with my ride though. Doing a tranny drain and new filter on Monday, then taking it up to the Adirondacks to catch the last of the autumn colors
