I think someone on this site has a dealer license and attends the auctions. If so please contact me. I am looking for a BMW 325i or 328i for my son.

That would be RFC but you have to drive to MSR to look at his cars since he's too busy to bother actually selling you a car.
Yeah, because all other car saleman I know bring the car to you. In fact, I have never been to a dealership in my life because they always bring the car to me.Quote:

Most other dealerships aren't in BFE and only open when most normal people are at work during the week either (10AM to 4PM).Quote:

He flat out told me he didn't want to bother taking 1 hour of his time showing the car for a few hundred bucks profit. I don't know about you but I don't make $200 bucks an hour. Why even buy a car if you can only make a few hundred bucks profit to begin with?
Whatever, that was just my personal experience which happened to be poor IMO. I will end up voting with my money, everyone else should as well.
"Since I am the only employee, I ask that you call ahead for an appointment since I have to leave on dealer related business frequently. If you call, I can often meet you beyond my normal business hours (except Sunday). I answer my phone from 8:00am to 9:pm central 7 days a week."
I do belive artur1976 may also be able to help you ken o.
Thanks!
FYI - Porsche will bring the car to your office and allow you to test drive it.
davidss I think might have one as well.
Lexus, BMW, Infiniti, Audi and Cadillac also will bring you a car to test drive.
That said, I met up with RFC on a Saturday to look at a car without a problem. Sure the drive sucked, but the price was right and the car was right too, I just didn't make a decision so arturo bought it (and flipped it).

I agree. CosmosMpower is way out of line.Quote:

Depending on what year you are looking for, Adesa has a fairly large BMW sale every month. Usually 1 to 5 year old cars + BMW finance has a list of buy-it-now cars in the dallas area.
Otherwise 3 series BMWs are fairly common at the major auctions around town but you need to see where they come from, do some due diligence.
There are a few other details/fees involved at auctions as well. If you are interested, give me a call 817-396-0989 and we can walk through a few model/years on the phone. Since I only work 10-4, I should have plenty of time :).

Ken,
You might try calling this guy. I work with his daughter. His name is John Nicholson 972-768-8086. His daughter said he has access to all the wholesale auctions and can find you just about anything you want.
Good luck!
Try not to be a dick and speak of things you don't understand.Quote:

I posted a thread on the pointy board which had nothing to do with that car, the seller made an unsolicited post saying it was available. When I inquired as to viewing the vehicle during a time that I was available (basically outside normal working hours) I was basically told it wasn't worth the profit for the time involved. I posted my opinion about my personal experience, nothing more nothing less so if you don't like it you can move on.Quote:
