Hey all, I am looking at a 5 series at a dealer in Houston:

DN Motor Cars. Is anybody familiar with this dealer?

Is anybody close enough and willing to drop by and take a look at it before I fly from Atlanta?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I'm about an hour away from that dealer and don't know anything about them. Keep in mind that there have been hundreds of thousands of cars flooded in Houston. Be careful!!!

Thanks. Understood, checked the flood maps and the address was not in the flooded area. However I would be extra cautious looking for evidence.

Have them bring it to me for a Pre Purchase Inspection, it'll be gone over with a fine tooth comb.

Car looks clean. But need to visually inspect the car. GL

Car looks good but 2 owners in 2+ years? To me that possibly says both owners did not like something about the car.

It is a good idea, I have someone taking a quick look at it today.

After I hear from him I will make a plan.

Stuck, What is the name of the shop?

Thanks

ABR Houston, I'm actually in flight now but give Alex a ring he can get you squared away.

Of course I saw the carfax, it says front end damage...not specifically an accident. Which is why I am having someone take a look at it.

I did call the last servicing dealer and they said nothing out of the ordinary was noted at the service.

Thanks for the heads up.

So how did the car check out?

A bit rougher than I had hoped, decided to keep looking.

Thanks, nice to have an OP close the thread.

There should be lots coming up in the next few months. The 2014 & some 2015 leases are running out --- although there will be competition from the current owners of the 2011 & 2012 who will also be looking at those.

I am only interested in the diesel with M Sport.
But yes, there should be many coming to market as leases expire.
And I'm in no hurry.
