Buying Car Out Of State (Article)

SooperGook · 07-13-2016, 10:46 AM

I have a friend that works for thetruthaboutcars.com and a couple other auto blogs (nothing big, little ones like jalopnik and road & track) and periodically he'll ask me to do a write up. Recently he was asking me about my experience buying the Z4M and asked for a write up on my process getting a car from far away. So here she is!

Very cool. Learned how to water ski on that lake. If you ever make it to Buffalo in the summer my cousin shows his cars at a local show. LOTS of cool stuff there, just talking things he owns that are there each summer Dino, 356 Speedster, Alfa Giulietta, GT4 Porsche, etc etc etc.

good to know. was planning on taking a trip down to see them again. we have a good show here once a month at the local auto museum. usually get some neat things like a spyker, unimog, i've seen a couple of scouts, and then obviously the usual exotics

"Did I stutter?" would have brought out the green man in me. You should have added "fire that asshole" to your list of negotiating points. Congrats on the car.
