    Cool Opinions on this 2012 Z4 sDrive35is

    Hi, I'm new to these forums, and not sure this is the right place for this post.

    I'm looking at buying a 2012 Z4 sDrive35is 37k miles, 2 owners, for $26,500. It's sold by a lexus dealer, and it looks very clean. But what concerns me is the carfax is fairly empty.

    AutoCheck: https://imgur.com/a/VRoBa
    AutoTrader with CarFax link: https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-...ngId=467538462

    They're offering it with 1 year / 12,000 mile warranty, and 2 years free service, but that does me no good as I will be moving the vehicle to a new state. I just want to get some other people's opinions on this. NADA says price is $34,500, and it's being offered for $26,500 ($8000 less). They are $500 under the fair market value of Kelley Blue book.

    The AutoCheck I purchased shows an incorrect mileage reported when the car was moved from Arizona and received a title in Indiana. Is this cause for concern?

    I was planning on test driving it and getting a PPI done this weekend, but the dealer told me "it won't be ready until next week." Is this cause for concern? The listing is only 2 days old.

    EDIT: CarFax won't let me link directly for some odd reason? I posted the auto-trader listing, which contains a link for the CarFax

    Hello and welcome to the forum! We're unable to see the CarFax, link is not working. Without having all the info, I would guess that they're trying to move it quickly because it's not a Lexus and someone likely traded it in. Maybe you just found a great deal, but perhaps the PPI will reveal something else. Let us know what you find out and best of luck!

    Update: The car has been listed for more than a week. Today I got an email from the dealer "Having trouble getting the cosmetics done. I will know tomorrow if we can have it done by Friday." A car in clean condition shouldn't need any cosmetic work, let alone a week or more to get it done, am I right?

    I would move on to the next one...something doesn't sound right about this car.
