What would you do if you were me?

I've decided what to do. There is just too much risk on purchasing this car sight-unseen given all the known costly repairs and knowing that I'll be relying on an indy shop to do most of the repairs. For now I'll keep driving the Camry and be thankful that it does what I need. Later on I might be back in the BMW market, but this one isn't the one for me. Cheers!

Good call. Of all the issues reported, the one that got my attention is the A/C. You would need to spend money on it right away.

Prob everything else could wait a little.
