This is interesting, I too bought mine sight unseen. I negotiated for about two weeks with a Lexus dealership five hours away. Finally when we were getting close to an agreeable value we finished the deal off over the phone and text messages. They emailed me the paperwork, I signed it and drove down and picked up my F about a week later. Never had to give a deposit or anything. Just drove in to the dealership at 8:30pm on a Friday night, took the car out for a quick (as in WOT quick!) two minute test drive and handed over the down payment. check. I'll be paying for another three years lol. Most expensive car I ever bought and the only one I bought without checking it out first.

I bet we all would not be buying sight unseen with a BMW... Ha!!
I would be worried about getting screwed somehow on the condition of the car....

As my more intelligent brother used to tell me.. Do not get "Buyer's Ego" when you buy...
I think we all had it!! Ha!!

So awesome man! I LOVE those vettes!! I've had 3 vettes, but all C6's. I was always too scared to pay that kind of money for something without the amenities LOL. One day I'm going to!
I just bought a G37s sight unseen for my wife, I'm picking it up tomorrow! So I hope my experience was as good as all of yours was! I couldn't get it transported because of the holidays (I literally tried every company I could find, and was willing to pay GOOD money too) so I have to fly out to the midwest tomorrow after work and immediately start the 20hr drive home

Yep, UK based. I actually work in London at an insurance syndicate. My largest market is the States, so I visit maybe 6-8 times a year. Main destinations recently would be LA, Houston, San Francisco, NJ, Pennsylvania.
We do have a few good shows over here.
I'm enjoying the U.S. shows more though!
NCIS LA, Hawaii 5-0, Walking Dead, Blacklist etc.
Have fun with the new car Zale. She's a real beauty!
Pip, pip & cheerio for now!!

They dropped the price quite a bit if you had noticed...I had been following it and then on Black Friday of all days I bought it..
The Internet Saleslady said when I bought it over the phone, 2 others got kind of mad who were looking at it... Did she snow me? Don't think so... She seemed very honest and down to earth..
I think she was telling the truth... She had driven it some and said it had been babied.
New brakes and new tires she said... .
I could not dicker on the price or I would have lost it I felt.. I have been looking for only a year and a half... Ha!!
This was a one owner car, which is what we see with these ISF's...Not many of these and no one leases them... Those darn BMW's, when I would look at them, almost everyone had come off a lease. I guess nothing is wrong with that, but a lot of people who lease, do not know how to take care of a car, and by not owning it, most likely don't care if it is taken care of.
JMHO
