Question about a purchase

DRiFT_645 · 07-05-2016, 06:11 PM

Hello all,
I'm in the market for a 2013 M5. I'm coming from a 645CI. I've narrowed it down to two cars.

1. Blue with white interior. All options except DVD. Has two claims of 7000$ (one claim a year after purchase and one right before lease return). 44000km, $65000

2. Singapore Grey, fully loaded with DVD (don't need it but nice to have with two kids). 60000km for $61900. Two rims are curbed to shit but dealer said he will either replace or refinish (my choice).

I love the blue colour, but also second choice love the grey. Can't get my head around the claims.

What would you do? Some people say 7000$ is nothing for the M5. Thoughts? I'm in Canada btw.

I'd keep looking for no claims and lower miles (KM's).

Agreed.

Any claim on CarFax (or the like) really hurt the values of these cars.
Additionally, one really doesn't know the actual extent of the damages.

I'd keep looking for a car with a cleaner history. There are plenty out there.

I just picked up a 2013 CPO Blue w/Black Leather with Executive Package, Driver Assistance, and the nicer wheels with 31K miles for $59K USD. It had no claims and was nearly flawless. There was one scratch on the door which the dealer is having fixed this week.

I was lucky enough to find one at my local dealer that fit what I wanted, but having looked online, there are plenty of CPO M5's out there.
