2008 M6 Convertible Question

I found what seems like a killer deal on a 2008 M6 vert with just 70k miles. Would love a manual but this one is SMG. Runs and looks great. Clean carfax. No record of prior major service though, just oil changes and minor things.

What’s the most I should pay for something like this? And is there a way to tell if SMG pump or rod bearings were done without records of it..? Any other major things to look for and ask about before buying?

Thanks!

I’m currently driving the same vehicle. I purchased an ‘08 convertible with 48K miles for about $22K. Random dealership in GA and had it shipped to TX. My cousin test drive it and everything was great. Once I got it there were a few minor issues. Check engine lights comes on frequently and computer resets at random times.

Overall it’s been worth the money. I swapped out the tires, coils, control arms, purchased an engine oil cooler but haven’t put it on yet. The SMG works great and I wanted a manual as well but you will get use to it. Don’t have an answer for the bearings but I know the day is coming to replace them eventually.

Good luck with your purchase. I wanted this car for years so I’m going to put money in it to clean it up and enjoy it.
