Wondering what people think about buying a second hand M2 that has only done 8000 miles but has had 3 owners in that time. Do we think thats a red flag to avoid? Over eager new owners thrashing it or underlying problem? I’ve asked main dealers about this before and they say a lot of these higher end cars were bought during covid and changed their car earlier than they would normally as cars went up quite a bit in value. Curious to know if a high number of owners in a short space of time would be a bad purchase or it shouldn’t matter on face value.
It depends. I’m in the fourth owner of my current car. I purchased it with 4,600 mi. The vehicle was originally leased, owner #1. Then, returned to the leasing company, owner #2. It was then sold at auction to a dealership group, owner #3. Then I bought it, owner #4. All in the space of about 30 months…
