That could be because it is in bad shape, or it could be a BMW dealership really doesn't want your SVT Contour on the lot. This car does seem to change hands frequently. Bottom line is have a mechanic you trust check it out. If you like it, and the mechanic likes it, buy it.

Ray 9 out of 10 used cars go to the auction , even yours has been OR will some day. Dealers do not want to keep trade-ins . ALSO....... where do you think all the used cars that dealers sell on ther lots come from ??? AUCTIONS . Dealerships sell what THEY want to sell . There is nothing wrong with auction cars .
