Seems like a nice one guys. M sport auto 150k miles for $10k.

Doesn’t get better than that for an M sport. Someone buy it before the price is marked up!

[JDAURIA]

basically sold already. I called and rep said someone came in yesterday to look at it, and is coming in this afternoon to finalize. Not surprised.

[Serf27]

Yup, I believe it.

I drove about an hour to go see this after scheduling an appointment with them. When I got there to see it, they told me that someone had already been scheduled before me and I would have to wait and see if they buy it or not. In the mean time without opening the hood, it had dents all over, a cracked and repaired rear right wheel that looked like it was welded by an amateur, melted windshield rubber trims, and also had a dripping oil leak underneath. I’m sure this car could’ve been sorted out with not too much work. But the way I was treated by the dealer absolutely rubbed me the wrong way. Good luck to the new owner who ever they are.

I received some of the records, there is some decent work done. VCG, plugs, brake service, suspension, etc. I see notation of oil pan leak but I dont see it being done. All this was around 103-110k miles so another 40k on it after that.

I heard they are 'repairing the leak' and also RAISING the selling price. Whack

As I was walking away they started the car and the potential buyer quickly had the sales rep kill the engine and said it’s leaking oil

Car was dumped there. Could use some TLC and i'm sure it'll be nice. It's priced accordingly

It was sad to see such an awesome car in that condition. But I’m sure the new owner will take excellent care of it

I was that buyer, buying it for my aunt. The leak was coming from the oil filter housing cap and it was fixed this morning, missing o-ring from being recently serviced.

I was able to speak to the previous owner about specific questions about the car and at the end the car is very well sorted out and well maintained. It does have its bumps and bruises but nothing that can be buffed out or PDR’d. Car is very well maintained, no accidents and always been a California. It does need TLC as any old car will needs and it’s not prefect. If you can look pass that and you are pretty handy doing things yourself then this is a perfect car. It’s an MSport after all, they don’t pop up often especially RWD and a California car.

Sorry about how you felt about dealership, they only work by appointments only and rest assured the dealer/Alex are great individuals, it’s hard to get to everyone when everyone wants the car.

Will keep you all posted, should be going home this afternoon

Hilarious. Next time I go see an E91 and I run into someone I'm going to have to ask them if they're on "the thread"

[Serf27]

A RWD M sport for $10k is a steal. Sounds like it needs some TLC and that’s it.
You can’t expect it to be presented on a pedestal at the price.


Is your aunt an enthusiast? She may call you and ask why people are taking pictures of her car.

She is not but was always in love with our AW wagon ever since she saw it. Even though it’s not AW it has everything else we are looking for.

She will definitely get alot of stares and thumbs up from people.

I'm jealous you were able to snag that at that price. Makes what I paid for mine sans Msport a bit painful lol

That $2K one is a perfect swap candidate.

Oh wow, complete with Camry dent too!
Definitely not Tasman, I think it's "Deep" green.

[Serf27]

The ‘09 for $6k doesn’t look bad.

The one for $2k, what could really be wrong with it that warrants a failing engine at 150k miles?
Worth checking out if you’re trying to get an e91 as cheap as possible.

[StradaRedlands]

Salvage title, but low mileage and cheap. Sport package but not heated. Single hump. Headliner succumbing to gravity and possible water intrusion. Could be worth taking a chance on in the Bay Area: https://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/cto...587093559.html

Thanks everyone, if and ever will definitely post it here and can’t agree more with the price, it was a great deal. Car does need TLC but nothing crazy.
