 Need Advice - What do you think about a 4 owner car?
Hi all! Here I am looking for more advice. There is a car at a dealer that is about 120 miles from me. 115k... looks good on paper. Ran Car Fax, clean on everything and it reports 4 owners. 6 service records. No problems. Been a California car the entire time. Passed smog. If I liked the car after I drove it, I'd run it through a AAA pre-inspection station prior to purchase. If the shop thought this car was a keeper, I'd still be a little nervous about a 4 owner car. Who knows what [unreported] problems they may have had?
Owners 1 and 2 are lumped together by CF, family maybe?
Original purchase in May, '96.
Owner 2 bought in September, '96. @ 3000 miles.
Owner 3 bought 2000 @ about 64k miles.
Owner 4 bought in 2003 at about 74k miles.
It currently has 115k and has passed smog several times.
Hasn't been driven much by the drivers except Owner 2. But number 2 is the one with the 2 BMW scheduled maintenance reported.
Your thoughts? Advice? I guess I'm just spooked at the thought of being number 5... Thanks in advance ~ jeremy |
