Greetings.
I have been searching for my next everyday car and after cross shopping some cars that may normally not be in the same conversation, I have landed on a 4BW. Which could be strange or just show I have a type, I suppose, since the other car in the garage is my 23 M6 Camaro SS1LE. I'm single and my youngest kid is 20 (be glad when the college is done, tuition is ridiculous), so I have no particular need for a 4 door. But, I get most of the Camaro fun in a nicer interior, better visibility and I can continue down the road of turning the Camaro into more track car than road car, and keep the 4BW for road trips and daily duty.
I have found a 23 4BW with 11K miles, and it ticks all of the must have specs for me. M6, Blue (Wave), upgraded seats (the mid tier sueded seats in this one), and PDR. Bonus is Carbon 1 and 2. Unsure if I like, but not a dealbreaker are the bronze wheels and sunroof.
I have some questions about the car though, doing a check through Carfax and Autocheck, everything looks good, but a couple of oddities. In service/first registration date shows 2025. The first event is the dealer listing the car in 2025 with 6K miles already accumulated, so I assume it was a loaner or demo. Strangely, although no registration prior, it was listed as a CPO car in the first titling event, any attempt to generate an original window sticker returns an error through multiple sites, including carfax, although running the vin for anything else works just fine, showing up at a 23 4Bw as expected, at insurance, parts places, etc. Additionally, and unsure if this is related, the steering wheel number is 26-xxx rather than 46-xxx. I understand this to mean that it was pre production or advanced production, depending on where I look.
Heading out to pick up the car on Tuesday. Thanks for reading and looking forward to being part of the community.

You KNOW it's been regularly used to its fullest extent. Unless the price was right...
