If you've got a reasonably low mileage car (70k or less but especially 50k or less), with no paintwork/accident history and in great shape, I'd definitely flip it to them right away. :D

So you are basically saying they are a higher volume version of Mike Whitney! ;)

Money can't buy happiness, but somehow it's more comfortable to cry in a Porsche than a Kia.

From talking with a local person who bought an M5 from EAG (and later found it had significant paintwork from unreported accident damage a simple paint meter check would have found) and another who went up there to buy an E46 M3 and left after driving four of them they had for sale, I'd say Mike is vastly more trustworthy. ;)

Also, back in 2012 after Ed sold him his E92, I contacted Eric there about an E90 M3 they had for sale, and I was ready to make a trip to look at the car (advertised as all original bodywork, all original paint), and I told him that *any* non-factory paint on this almost new low mileage M3 negates the deal, so I'm taking him at his word on the advertisement. The next morning he replies that "he just" put a paint meter on the M3 and it had non-original paint on the hood and front of the car. I'm thinking WTH? How in the **** can they advertise what isn't true? How could they not have known about this issue since it takes just a few minutes to meter a car, and wouldn't a place like EAG ensure such when they buy a car and advertise it like that?

Not that I would have paid their premium anyway, but it's kinda sad that they are just another flipper with good pictures.
