The car fax says 9 different owners and it's a 2012 GS not a 2013
Its at Grayson BMW in Knoxville TN
Should be some members close by that could take a look at it for you.

They can’t explain why there are 9 owners in 10 years.
I am thinking something is wrong with the car.
Was hoping the VIS would provide an idea.
They are asking top dollar but are missing the 3 most expensive options…Mag Ride, 4LT and Chrome wheels.

I looked at the Carfax the dates and times of the "different" owners seamed really short??? Hard to say maybe the wife's didn't like or were not happy to be setting on the Ground as some folks say about riding in my car.
It's really tough to say sometimes. As for me the Mag ride is not a deal breaker and the 4 LT seems to have more problems than benefits. I have a set of Factory GS wheels that I would make you a good deal on if that would help in you purchase. You need to fid a member close by take a look at it of do a road trip yourself to check it out in person. I love the Color don't see them often

Right. The 10th character in the VIN is the model year. "C" model year says it's a 2012, not a 2013.

I just noticed that it has NPP and a Ron Fellows rear spoiler that's a plus in my opinion

the only thing the 4LT gives you is the seat coloring....3LT is really all you need

While I agree with most of the comments about the Mag Ride and 4LT, my point was they are asking really good money for a car missing the 3 most expensive options.
I believe their reasoning is that the car has low miles. Which may or may not be good considering all the different owners.
Sometimes, the low miles are because the car was out of commission either by accident or mechanical issues. Not everything is reported to CarFax.
That was my reason for asking for the VIS report.
All water under the bridge as they say. They are not budging and neither am I. Not really needed. Their price is approaching a C7 vert. That is a much better car.

What's with the headlights too? Looks like they got midway through sanding them then just said screw it and traded in the car, lol. Maybe frost? But the windows/other lights aren't frosty..?

To get a VIS report just go to your local friendly GM dealer and ask the service writer to print out the report. You want a "Vehicle Build" and a "Warranty service History".
Just ask , its free !
