This is an exceptionally well maintained vehicle for the interested buyer. It was owned by the principal of an elementry school in kyle, texas before coming into our possession. It runs and drives flawlessly, with a strong clutch, crisp gear box, powerful 6 cylinder engine and silent rear-end. This vehicle has years of potential life left to live, that is if the future owner chooses to drive it wisely and continue the recommended service schedule this car is accustomed to. Its not without any issues as all things mechanical in nature tend to wear out from use, over use and no use at all. The main cause for complaint in this vehicle is without question: the door window regulators and their limited and non functionality, depending on which window is in question. The Front two window regulators will travel about a 1/4 of the way down their tracks then back up again slowly. you can hear the cable Drive straining on its pulleys during this time. This is typically the way this variety of window regulator fails stretched or broken cables. The passengers rear window regulator has failed all together and if left unattended May recede into the door due to gravity alone. Aside from that the AC blows cold the heater is hot. There are no warning lights of any kind illuminated on the dash during any length of Drive. The car starts reliably morning noon and night. The tires have at least 80% tread at all Four Corners. There's a bare minimum of oil seepage from the engine. hardly noticeable without a trained eye if you care to look. The vehicle leaks no antifreeze and has none of the Hallmarks of having been abused or driven in severe conditions. The interior leather is Light tan with a minimum of breached sections in the driver's seat only. As I mentioned before the vehicle is not perfect but it's damn good enough where it counts. this being the assertion of a 14 years experienced ase-certified Automotive technician. Message me when you've got your money in your hand and you're ready to buy it. I can do anyone the favor of meeting them with the car at any reasonable distance from North Austin, so long as they're seriously interested. All I ask is that on the test drive, if you make the decision to purchase car, we do the paperwork at my place of business; where I have another vehicle. He or she that buys this car will come to understand in short order the vindication associated with having out a gem amongst the rubble.

2009 M3 sedan
102k miles
$19,500

I stopped by this morning. Some notes here:

- car was parked on the best spot: front row, facing incoming traffic
- car was unlocked, interior looks very clean. Drivers seat in great shape
- the wheels are black. They are silver on the pics.

Didn’t ask for any assistance, just wanted to put my eyes on it.
