New owner
Wanted to introduce myself. Been lurking the forum for a few months while searching for my car and finally took the plunge yesterday. Now the very proud owner of a 99 torch red convertible m6 with 81,650 miles for the low low price of $8300.00 with clean title and car fax.

You got a steal. I would think a nice condition red 6 speed vert w/ 82k miles, is worth a lot more than 8300. Even for an automatic coupe, I think that would've been a low price. Congratulations.

Good deal
I spent about 4 months checking craigslist for 500 miles from home every few day and found it an hour away. The po had it for 5 years and got tired of paying insurance on a car he didn't drive. Only problem horn doesn't work and a few caution codes on the display going to go through them next weekend, but it is a beast and fun to drive

The former owner didn't like driving it? Ok! When mine has to go into the garage for work I get withdraw symptoms.
It looks like a $13,500 car all day. You made out pretty good. Welcome to the forum.
