UPDATES COMING SOON ON BMW M SERIES CARS

I haven't updated this blog on a regular basis for a while. I do plan to get back on track and update this thing regularly. I've been buying alot of BMWs and particularly M6 coupes and convertibles and M5 sedans. I've bought plenty of nice ones for my dealers, but I have passed on dozens of garbage ones that are 100% completely worthless. These cars seem to be like the old Mustangs and Camaros were in the 90's ( I think this may be the only comparison between the mustang/camaro and a BMW M series). I'm only talking about conditions here. The M Series cars are alot like the Mustang and Camaro in that they are either perfect cars in awesome shape or they are complete garbage and not worth a dollar. If you buy an M series car that is beat up and battered around and needs to be put back together like Humpty Dumpty, it will cost you more than the value of the car and you'll always have a battered up pig of a car that you'll never be proud to own. I have dozens of VIN numbers and condition reports from the turds that I've seen over the past 30 days. I'll post this info when I have time.

More crappy jaguars being sold at auction today

I spent the day at the manheim auto auction in Atlanta, GA. I bought a nice group of Jaguars and Range Rovers today and saw alot of other dealers overpaying for some real junk ones. Here's a few examples of junk cars that you should avoid. 2006 Jaguar XJ8 with previous paintwork and bodywork everywhere and a replaced door SAJWA71B46SH038045. 2007 XK Coupe in silver with previous bodywork on 2 panels and a cracked bumper SAJWA43B575B13052. 2007 Jaguar XK Convertible in frost blue with previous bodywork on 4 panels and a replaced fender SAJWA44B375B09905. 2007 Jaguar XJ8-L with previous body repairs on 4 panels SAJWA79B37SH17211. 2007 jaguar XK Cab in black with bad paintwork and bodywork on 4 panels SAJWA44B575B07668. 2005 JAG XJ8 VDP with previous bodywork everywhere and hail damage SAJWA82CX5SG44750. 2007 jaguar XK Cab in blue with previous paintwork and bodywork on 3 panels and the wrong wheels SAJDA44B675B04172. 2007 Jaguar XK Convt in green with big dents and dings on every square inch of the car SAJDA44B875B03296. 2006 jaguar XJ8 in zircon blue with previous bodywork on 6 panels and 3 replaced body panels SAJWA71B26SH00796. 2008 jaguar XJR in black with previous paintwork and bodywork on 4 panels SAJWA73C58TH25324. 2006 Jaguar XJ8 with hail damage and 3 panels of previous bodywork SAJWA71B96SH07714. I'll post more cars later, I have hundreds of them to post from the past few days of shopping. My advice for anyone out there car shopping right now is to be careful. The car market is on fire right now and alot of dealers who don't know cars very well are buying some complete junk to try to fill their lots. They are buying problems that can never be made right again. Do your research on the car that you're looking at and do your research on the dealer.

Alot of crappy cars being sold as "Certified"

I did some shopping around online today and was shocked at the number of cars with previous paintwork, bodywork, replaced body panels, etc that are being advertised by franchised dealerships as "certified pre-owned" cars. It makes me wonder what "certified" actually means. I did some google searches on some of the VIN numbers that I've posted to my blog in the past few weeks and I'm finding them at new car dealerships all over the country and they're advertised as "certified". I guess that certified doesn't mean anything more than being mechanically checked out. Anyways, here are some more VIN numbers for cars that I saw sell on the wholesale marketplace this week. These cars all have some sort of story and you should avoid them. 2007 Mercedes R350 with 4 panels with previous paintwork and dents and scapes everywhere 4JGCB65E77A053177. 2007 Mercedes CLK350 Cab with previous bodywork on 6 panels and a replaced hood WDBTK56F37F230847. 2007 Mercedes SL550 with previous paintwork everywhere and three or four replaced body panels WDBSK71F07F132535. 2007 Mercedes CLK550 Cab with poor previous paintwork and bodywork on the decklid and rear bumper and scratches and scrapes on 4 panels WDBTK72F87T084772. 2007 Mercedes R350 with previous bodywork on 5 panels and a replaced hood and fender 4JGCB65E27A061154 (yes, this car also has a clean carfax). 2007 Mercedes CLK350 with a replaced trunklid and previous paintwork everywhere WDBTK56G27F229097. 2007 Mercedes CLS550 with previous paintwork and bodywork on 7 panels WDDDJ72X87A086041. This last one wasn't too bad, but it is rough enough to make this list: 2007 Mercedes CLS550 Sport with previous bodywork on the decklid, an 8 inch scratch on the hood, a scraoed rear bumper that needs refinishing, a chipped windshield, door dings on every panel, and all four wheels curbed. I'll be out buying more cars next week and I'll have another list of "Cars to Avoid" for you then. Good Luck!

More crappy cars being sold at auction

I spent my day at the Manheim Auto Auction in Nashville, TN today. I looked closely at hundreds of cars and ended up buying only 12. The market is still on fire and there is still a shortage of good used cars. This problem is forcing almost all buyers to come home with less desirable cars than they would like. Buyers are settling for cars with accident histories, previous bodywork, current body damage, etc to fill their lots. Here are a few of the junk cars that I saw get sold today. Let's start with the jaguar XKs again. There seems to be alot of junk XKs out there right now. Stay away from these: SAJDA44B775B02205, and SAJWA44BX75B09478. This 2007 jaguar XJ8 has paintwork and bodywork on every panel SAJWA71B77SH17708. This 2007 Land Rover LR3 has paintwork and bodywork on five panels SALAE25487A419269. This BMW Z4 has had two body panels replaced and has been painted all over 4USBU53547LX03069. This 2006 BMW 650Ci has previous paintwork and bodywork all over WBAEH13476CR51173. This 2006 Mercedes SLK280 is the worst that I've seen all season, it needs thousands of dollars in repairs and it has already been painted and repaired everywhere WDBWK54F06F101950. Now...I've saved the worst piece of junk for last. This 2007 Mercedes CLK350 Convertible is the worst CLK that I've seen in a long time. It has been painted and welded on everywhere and has some replaced body panels. Watch out for this turd WDBTK56FX7F227198. None of these cars are worth buying for any price.

MORE USED CARS TO AVOID

Let's start this blog with a few more Jaguar XK coupes and convertibles that are complete garbage. Here's the VINs: SAJDA43B375B03823, SAJWA43B375B11400, SAJDA44B875B03296, SAJDA43BX75B04693, SAJWA44B875B09446, and SAJDA44B875B03881. These are all new style 2007-2008 Jaguar XKs with previous paintwork, body repairs, and overall just junky cars that you don't want to own for any price. In addition to these XKs, stay away from this 2006 X-Type R SAJWA03C261N63455. It has scratches, dents, dings, and chips on every square inch of the car and it will never be right. I also have two Land Rover LR3s for you: SALAE25457A431069 and SALAG25417A426736. The last VIN for today is the biggest piece of junk Range Rover Sport that i have ever seen. This one is a supercharged 2006 model in black with only 27,000 miles. It has been painted on every panel and needs to be painted again due to damage. Stay away from this turd: SALSH23406A961236. Let me know if anyone has questions about ay of these cars.

More cars to avoid buying

The used car market was hot again all week long at every auction in the country. New car sales are down drastically, so the used market is flooded with customers and there is a shortage of good used cars to fill those empty spots on dealership lots. There are alot of dealers out there who are not patient enough to wait for good cars, they'd rather fill their lots with anything than be empty. Here's a short list of crappy cars that you should avoid. Let's start with the Jaguar XKs again: SAJDA44B875B04318, SAJDA44B075B01445, SAJDA44B875B03296, SAJDA44B075B01574, SAJDA44B975B01850, SAJDA44B675B03572, SAJDA44B175B03365, and SAJWA44B975B11559. In additional to these Jags, stay away from the 2007 SL550 WDBSK71F97F135059. I'll be away on vacation next week, so there will not be any new posts for a week or so. Good Luck!

Used cars to avoid

I've been buying cars like crazy for the past few months. The used car market is on fire right now and shows no signs of slowing. I'm going to start regularly posting VIN numbers for some beat-up cars that I see at auctions. These are cars that either have been sold at auction or are sitting at auction waiting for sale. I'll only post VIN numbers for cars that are truely garbage and should not be bought by anyone for any amount. These cars are usually bought at wholesale auctions for dirt cheap because no reputable dealer wants them, and then they are sold to an unsuspecting retail buyer who does not know the difference until the car falls apart or the wax wears off and shows all of the previous bodywork, etc. Most of these cars probably have a clean carfax report, so don't rely on the carfax alone when shopping. If anyone has questions about any of the VINs that I post, please let me know and I'll do my best to provide additional info. Let's start with Jaguar Xks. For some reason there are alot of crappy ones out there and I'm sure people are being tricked into them by someone. Here's a few VINs to get this blog started: SAJDA44B875B04917, SAJDA43B875B06667, SAJWA44B475B10478, SAJWA43B575B09745, SAJWA44BX75B09836, SAJDA43BX75B05908, SAJDA44B775B01264, SAJWA44B175B07702, SAJWA44C499B28757, SAJWA44B285B25045, SAJDA44B375B05862, and SAJWA44C979B06864. Here's a 2008 Mercedes CLK550 Convertible that is also junk and should not be bought by anyone for any price WDBTK72F98T094938. Good luck.
