I'll be selling my Alpine White M Roadster soon. I know it's no coupe but I thought I'd mention it

I searched 2 years for A.W then bought a Space Gray Metallic coupe only to have an A.W turn up for sale a few weeks later . If you really want A.W stay patient it will come around eventually.

Be careful dealing with those guys.

Why do you say this? I did notice them, they have 5 or 6 Z4M coupe's in their inventory. They are in NY and I'm in CA, which isn't a huge issue, but if I could find something a little closer that would be cool.

When I was looking I also did some research on Avazi and determined that I would definitely NOT deal with them. I don't remember the specifics but definitely do some research on them first.

Isn't it a little irresponsible to say that and then come up with no evidence or even hearsay to back such claims?

I travelled to their shop to see/buy a car a while back. The car was not even close to as described. It needed many things addressed to command the EAG prices they ask. I noticed paint issues on other cars in the showroom too. My feeling is they are able to find low mile cars that have been sitting and like cars that sit need attention before going to a new owner, for a premium price. EAG prepares their cars accordingly, I did not find that to be the case with Avazi.

This is just my experience, you may find a gem there.

Yes, it is. I was merely trying to substantiate the other comment to "watch out" so that OP would take it seriously. I didn't come across anything rock solid, but came to my own conclusions about them after doing some internet sleuthing. OP can do some investigation of his own and draw his own conclusions. I'm just looking out for another member, that's all.

It is of my understanding 2 general facts about Avazi.

A.) they have improved quite a bit over the last year or two. It explains the increase in clean low mileage no story cars that often would otherwise end up at EAG

B.) Unlike EAG, they do occasionally carry cars that are also not what you'd describe as "EAG" 9 or 10 out of 10 quality but of course there is a market for that.

One thing thiugh that I can 100% unequivically prove though by merely looking and comparing asking prices is that they don't ask EAG pricing. Typically you see more competitively priced BMWs there vs Enthusiast Auto.

Way I look at it, what's their to hide if you have a carfax and 3rd party inspection? If they have a unicorn and you want a unicorn, it never hurts to do some homework or ask for previous customers' opinions.

EAG http://enthusiastauto.com/ is a small "dealer" that also houses a sizable inventory and mentioned in this thread. Be wary with all dealers, cars will often appear entirely sorted and even have recent fluids/bushing/seals etc. refreshing but you pay a small premium. These outfits are for profit, expect to pay $3-4K over a private sale.

Make sure to complete a thorough test drive or two wherever you decide to buy. Factor in the $1-2K shipping fees as well if buying across the country.

^^ dangerous to look through EAG's listings, that black E39 is giving me heart aches
