PSA Approach Cautiously When Buying a Specific M8 (Details inside)

JYTsky · 03-06-2024, 04:36 PM

So Im recently in the market for a used m8. And came across an excellent deal for a 2020 m8c coupe with less than 9000 miles for under $82k USD

Without naming the specific dealer and specific car ( I think it might be against forum rules and also dont want to bash the dealer).

Good news is that the car has a new engine replaced at 5000 miles. but one might question why it needs it at such low miles. To add on top, it also has new transmission, new diff mount.

The vehicle was a service loaner and had a few oil changes with 0w-20 instead of 0w-30 according to their service department records.

This is a public service message to proceed with caution if the specific vehicle you are interested in buying matches the above descriptions.

There is no rule against naming the dealer….just link to the car, it’s not a bad reflection of the dealer assuming they disclosed all this to you.
