DON'T DO IT KROZI - you're too young to be driving a death trap. Yes, the deer probably struck above the bumper, but that is also where the A-pillar is- which part of the frame. I agree with the others that say it is probably too good to be true.

It looks VERY TEMPTING but by just looking at it, something doesn't feel right... Don't buy it unless you have an extra $45k lying under your matress or something

Marc, I'd let this one go. Wrecked cars never are the same. Also, that DAMAGED on the title reads like a scarlet letter to potential future buyers. Just look at how many have responded to stay away.

Hit by a deer.
Hmmm, is that the same car? (this is from awhile ago)
Don't buy it.

I was searching for E46 M3's and I came across this 2008 M3 with 28k miles. FOR $45,000! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...759.l1259#v4-33
Here's the catch, the car was hit by a deer....or a the car hit a deer And the title is DAMAGED, not SALVAGE.
All parts replaced with OEM parts and the seller claims no frame damage.
I know the manual will never be as fast as the new DCT but I have always wanted a manual and the red leather looks HAWT!
What do you think?
Thank you
