dave783 Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 This particular automobile piqued my attention right away, and I've been keeping an eye out for W213 E63s here and there throughout the course of the last several months. Saloon was advertised as having 30,000 miles on it on eBay; there was no indication of any changes, and it was being sold by a vendor who had no prior sales history on eBay. This is the automobile. Take note of the registration and the fee being asked. According to my information, sales of this have been going on since the beginning of May. When I checked the MOT history, I saw that the mileage was approximately 40,000, which was far more than the 30,000 that was claimed. Hmmm.

dave783 Posted August 1, 2023 Author Share Posted August 1, 2023 Then, early this week, I came across this automobile that was up for sale on the AMK UK owners ads page on Facebook. Rotherham is listed as the location of the proprietors' business. Have you taken note of the mileage and the modification? For a Stage 2 modification to be covered by a warranty, there must be some kind of guarantee. What can I make out when I have a closer look at the license plate? A dealer in Nottingham had a vehicle with the same license plate as the one listed, but it had an additional 30,000 miles on the odometer and was roughly $5,000 more expensive. Now, I'm no sleuth, but something doesn't seem quite right here. I am no longer interested in the automobile, but I am curious as to what others think about it.

IrvesBMW Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 The Facebook automobile almost certainly does not even exist; nevertheless, if you are interested in going on an adventure, you might inquire about going to see it in Rotherham.

ForumGuru Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 The first advertisement mentions 50,000 kilometers, whereas the second mentions 30,000 miles. However, the history of the MoT indicates that it had been driven for 40,000 miles when it was tested in January of 2023. Both advertisements have a smell of the cloven hoof about them.

dave783 Posted August 1, 2023 Author Share Posted August 1, 2023 As a result of the differences in the car's mileage, the fact that it has been changed, and the color of the inside, I have no interest in purchasing the vehicle. If I had been considering making the purchase, the Facebook ad would have given me the option to ask questions. It was this particular check that led me to form my doubts.

PixelMaster Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Dishonest sellers may make a few more bucks by slightly lowering the mileage reported on the vehicle's odometer. I believe that the majority of garages either have ready access to mileage correction services or the necessary equipment to perform this function. The suspension has been reduced, which is a positive change, and there is a fair chance that it has also been tweaked. The color is breathtaking, and it makes one's heart leap for joy; nonetheless, it's a pity that the mileage estimates are off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave783 Posted August 1, 2023 Author Share Posted August 1, 2023 Another compelling argument in favor of avoiding this automobile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ByteStorm Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Oh, the automobile is real enough, but the marketer on Facebook does not have legal title to it. However, the way in which the advertisement is worded is not likely to lead anybody astray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
