Hello,

I'm looking at a 98 M Roadster that is for sale by a dealer named International Car Center. It has 86k miles on it, and the dealer is taking it to Mehta motors for a PPI (I'm in Indy). The car was purchased at auction, and therefore has no service records. I have sent a list of common Z3 problems to them, and they assured me they're familiar. (Their shop shows up as #1 on bimmershops.com). My concern is that the dealer and the shop have a relationship and I may not get the full picture from them. I asked how that works, and they said they don't get any kickbacks from them or anything, but words are just that... words. I'm hoping someone has experience with either of these companies to let me know if I should attempt to proceed, or run far away. I was very excited, but now I'm starting to get nervous.

Thanks to anyone in the area that can shed some light!
