About to purchase - Please help SOCAL

Hi Guys,

About to pull the trigger and been lurking here and reading / watching reviews since the car came out in 2016. I've never seen the car in person. Before I put my deposit, can anyone take me for a brief ride so I know what I'm getting for 60k? Doesn't have to be anything extensive, just a quick brief drive. I will go to you and bring you starbucks if you want haha. Thanks in advance guys - much appreciated.

Why not go test drive one at a dealer?

There are no M2s at the dealers to test drive.

Seriously? I see 10 on AutoTrader (new) within 10 miles of 90012. Looks like New Century actually has one ...Century West has 4 or 5 (with actual photos)

And yes, I know some of the cars on AutoTrader are not actually for sale...but usually if they post pictures, the car is still available.

New Century doesn't let you test drive.

OP - where are you located?

When I purchased I had never seen the car in person and I didn't get to drive it until I took it home Lol. I have no regrets on my purchase
