He’s pressing legal action for theft of the sign? Well that concludes that he’s a giant douche bag. ---

I’m willing to bet Towne never knew this guy existed until he had a problem. Probably didn’t have maint. receipts and/or evidence of abuse. Companies like BMW don’t turn people away for no reason and believe me the Towne auto group would love to have a $7,000 warranty claim in their building…any dealer would. ---

> [@Blue Eyed Devil](#): > > Any idea what the warranty would cost for this vehicle? A couple thousand? More? Just curious. My cost is anywhere from $2800 - $4000 based on terms/deductible/etc. Average cost per repair has to be $3000, if not more. ---

Assuming he’s in his mid 20’s, there’s no way he bought this new. I’m willing to bet a paycheck, that this kid went around and told people it was a $119,000 car. Other guys, girls at parties etc. ---

Other guys, girls at parties etc. My guess is it wasnt brand new, but I’m assuming he had a warranty still with the car when he got it used. Probably a car with only about 10-15k miles on it. ---

regardless of whether or not he’s original owner…THAT low of a mileage means it sat alot. if it sat in a garage for seasonal changes, there’s a good chance it built up moisture in the oil that caused damage upon finally being driven. My money’s on he bought it second owner private party thinking he got a smoking deal off some widow with no license who’s husband finally kicked the bucket after only driving it to church once a month for 3yrs. ---
