FAQ:
Q: Does this come with an unlimited year and mileage warranty?A: No, no warranty is implied and the vehicle is sold as it is and where it is.
Q: I have never changed my oil before and don't know if bolts turn right or left to tighten them. This would be my only car to get me to my job, 50 miles away that I'll be fired if I ever showed up a minute late. Do you think this would be a good car for me?A: No, but I'll take your money and let you learn a harsh life lesson if you'd like.
Q: Is the body 100% perfect without scratches, dents or any other imperfections?A: No, The car is 20 years old and despite being in great condition for it's age, it does show some signs that it has been around the block a time or two. You can see some rock chips from the front bumper that were touched up, also an imperfection/dent above the driver rear wheel arch in the photos. There is also a minor dent in the passenger door that I couldn't get to show in pictures at all. But, personally, I still view the paint and body to be in good shape, after all, it has been garaged it's whole life as far as I know.
Q: Does this car need to have methanol in the trunk tank to drive and does it run on pump gas?A: No... and Yes. You put 91/93 octane in the gas tank and can very safely drive around on low boost, with your high boost switch down/off. However, if you want to turn that smirk into a smile and switch on high boost, I'd recommend dumping in some methanol in the tank in the trunk and making sure the lines are full, or basically don't run the tank until empty, bc then the lines will be empty and you'll have to take it careful for the first few times you get into boost to allow the lines to fill.
Q: Do you have the Carfax?A: No, but I have an Autocheck that I ran the last time I bought a month membership. I can send that to you if you message me.
Q: Will you FaceTime me so that I can see the vehicle running?A: I don't have an iPhone, but I could probably manage to do Skype or something like that with my Android phone if you are currently the high bidder.
Q: Will it pass emissions in my state?A: I'm not sure or familiar with emissions in every state. I had it registered in Florida and Mississippi just fine. I also recently hadit pass emissions in Texas/Harris County, so that will carry over if you're from here. Keep in mind that this has a stand-alone and no longer has the original ECU, nor does it have a catalytic converter.
Q: Will the car make it home to Tennessee/Florida/Washington/Any state from Houston if I want to fly there and drive it?A: I would put that at about a 95% probability of having a smooth drive, you never know what is going to happen, but it has never died on me and I've been driving it every day or two for the last couple weeks. It starts fine and gets me from point A to point B every time.
Q: Where is the vehicle located? Can I have it shipped?A: It is located in Houston, TX. Pretty close to downtown, search for 77008 and that'll get you close. It can be shipped and I can and will assist with getting it on without damaging anything.
Q: Does it have A/C and Cruise?A: Yes, A/C works and is as cold as my 2013 X5m. The only issue I've had is when you are driving it hard, then come to dead stop traffic with the A/C on, it will want to start overheating. So, if you are racing around town, turn the A/C off before you hit traffic and you'll be ok. The cruise works just fine as well, though I never really use it.
Q: Do all the windows/locks/lights work?A: Yep, everything seems to work fine and the headlights are amazing at night!
Q: Why are you selling it?A: The price of Oil has been down for much longer than expected and my job and industry have suffered for a while, resulting in me loosing my job. I've decided to pursue other paths in life and make some changes. I need to have the option of towing, have gotten older and decided to be boring and picked up an X5m, so my E39 M5 daily and my E36 Turbo M3, unfortunately will have to go.
Q: Does the car come with anything not shown in the pictures?A: I have a BMW car cover that has a couple burn marks from when I was swinging a torch around in my garage and didn't realize the cover was balled up in the corner. I also have some motor mounts, Front control arm bushings,and aftermarket head unit, 1 key, 1 original alarm key fob, owners manual and some docs and probably a few other odds and ends that I can include if you'd like.
Q: I am in a cult and do not believe in the value of trading paper money. Will you exchange your vehicle for bags of silver?A: Hey man, when you bought my veggie oil RV, I told you I wouldn't take bags of silver, then outlined exactly how buying used vehicles works and you still made it a complete headache. No, I won't sell it to you.
Q: Dear Sir, I am from Nigeria and would like to send you a fake check for $20,000 and then you can send me back $4000 of real money, can I buy it?A: No, I only accept real money, though I could be open to Bitcoin, but would mostly prefer USD in a certified check, bank transfer or something of the like.
