    Good thing it worked out. Scammers are sophisticated. Trust no one!

    Yes, totally glad it worked out! Not sure what's next, I sold the car to get my 3rd mortgage - i'd love to have another German car again but i don't think it's gonna work unless if I HELOC like all you beyond ballers haha...

    You'll all probably laugh but i was thinking of a Toyota Avalon. I know it's nowhere even near in terms of performance of an M3 but i mainly want something practical and cheap on maintenance for the next couple years until i'm ready to buy something fun again!

    Haha just Max_Boost as far as Heloc is concerned lol. But nothing wrong with an Avalon as long as it suits your needs and it is what you want at the moment. Sometimes smarter financial decisions have to take over.

    I miss my m3 sometimes or just a sports car feeling in general. Dammit. lol.

    -Research dealer, confirm they are real, check online for stories like this.
    -DO NOT ask for a normal cheque. Get a draft, or a certified cheque. If you can, ask them if it's alright if you wait for it to clear before signing anything.
    -If you put the certified cheque/draft in your bank, ask the bank how long until it clears, or if it can be reversed by the sending party.
    -DO NOT SIGN anything until you get your $$$

    But seriously, get a bank draft or certified cheque if you go down this road.
    Why do you quote the op?
