I feel your pain! I found a nice CPO 128i Convertible that has our name on it that can't be sold as the day prior to finalizing deal the stop sale order came down! Patience is a virtue, eh?

Ironically, accepting affected vehicles for trade-in towards the purchase of a non-affected vehicle reduces this liability. So why not accept them for trade? Dollars. While an award for death/injury would be much greater than an award for diminished value or the cost of keeping the traded vehicle in inventory (until it is repaired), there will be many cases of the latter and few of the former. As far as you selling your used vehicle, there is no requirement to make disclosures to a buyer. The recalls are a matter of public record, available to any buyer, and that is the disclosure. And the thought occurred to me as well that this will create an increased demand for private sales of the affected vehicles. Many or most buyers are not going to be concerned (the fatality and injury rate is extremely low and there have reportedly been none in BMW's) and with dealers not selling them, the only choice is the private market. Finally, another point to consider are affected vehicles under warranty. If they can't fix it, and apparently they cannot for an unspecified time, then the warranty requires them to replace it. Hmmm....perhaps I'll tell them I'll accept a new 228i in exchange for my '13 128i since they can't fix it. |

No packages on this 128i... basic as basic comes, but a sweet ride with low milage, etc.

Just got my notice last week sadly, I think it's a little crazy that it takes them so long to make a solution. Kinda hoping that they take too long to replace when I take her in and I just get to pick a newer car. Or it blows up in my face and I get some serious cash and some serious plastic surgery

Just take the airbag out and leave the cavity exposed. You can then use the cavity to put in the Big Mac you are eating while driving, in between bites. You already have an ugly ass cup holder anyway.
