From what he told me, the car was originally owned by a couple and was no longer needed due to a breakup. It was returned to the bank that financed the car, and the bank inspected it (hence the baseplate being lifted), then sold it at auction. The indy dealer bought it at auction, and now the car is at a BMW dealer getting the roof fixed. He mentioned specifically he doesn't think it's a repo'd.
So for $50k, is this car too good to be true, or is it a reasonable price? What about all these stories that for some reason just doesn't sit well with me... just paranoia? Again, first time buying used so could use some more opinions.
And tranquility - no, I did not get to test drive this specific car since I am out-of-state and it is across the country.

Not sure why the baseplate wouldn't be fixed...it's sitting there on top of the centre console. Very weird.
I have no idea about the whole reselling process, but how come the indy dealer only "thinks" it's not a repo...shouldn't he know for sure?
It's not paranoia at all, esp since you don't have a chance to test drive it. I don't agree w/ some others that just because you have a warr means it's ok to buy...you could be faced w/ a bunch of prbs and if they were fixable, why didn't the previous owner have them fixed 1st b4 selling?
GL w/ your choice.
