I didn’t do a state by state search but The car was thoroughly inspected by BMW of Escondido six months ago and they did not see any indication of any accidents. They said the car looked like it had been taken very good care of and well-maintained.
Just wondering how this car ended up in 11 states? Was the car owned by different people in these states? Sound like and odd question but if different people in each state owned it the care might be different than one or two owners. So was there a search to verify that the car had no accidents in any of those other states? Thank you
