Anybody on here ever buy a manufacturer buyback because the price/options were right? If so, any regrets? Last edited by mo2566; 05-16-2012 at 06:39 AM.. |

Be prepared to spend some money on a higher mile car and you need to keep away from the main dealers and find a good independant garage.
My 335i manual has done just over 180,000 miles, its a 2006, its still on its original clutch, turbos, injectors, has never had blast cleaning done - so just because you dont hear about it does not mean there are not high miler 335's running fine. I've had other 335i at 70k miles and 47k miles and this 180k mile cars drives almost as well as the other ones, does not feel loose or tired to drive, (its got full bmw history). I've had some issues with plugs and coil packs recently and I am prepared for some bigger problems but the risk is offset by the lower price you pay for a high miler. Things to expect are sticky door handles, front headlamp washers falling off. Once they are over 3 yrs old the 3 yr warranty runs out and at best you will be on an aftermarket used approved warranty which will never cover all potential problems. I think it just depends on your budget what you can afford and if you are able to cope with the potential large bill which could arise (and keep away from bmw main dealers!). |

I wouldn't do it.
Suggest that you keep looking.
Something far better will turn up. It's a mistake to fall in love with a particular car. Then you're just counting on luck. Last edited by theoldblue; 05-16-2012 at 10:53 AM.. Reason: spelling |

My big mileage 335 is running standard boost, I bought it high mileage so if I was going to up the power I'd spend some money taking the head off, cleaning it up, checking the bores, new head gasket etc.

OP, if that's the car you like.. make sure you have it fully checked out by a professional (little money spent well worth it in the long run) look for any previous accidents and as much challenge there is keep searching for any repair or maintenance records you can find.
I don't have a 335 however my car is approaching 133K so far and have no issues. Good luck to you. |
