At the moment, the used car market is flat-out bonkers. There are a couple of reasons why but the shortages of new cars is one of the larger ones. To discuss the crazy used car market, I thought I\u2019d talk to a friend of ours who\u2019s rather experienced in the used sports car market, Scott Villeneuve<\/a> from Limited Slip Blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve known Scott for several years and during that time he\u2019s owned several BMWs, mostly M3s. But his garage isn\u2019t only Bavarian, he has a few other interesting machines in there as well, some of which he just bought very recently.<\/p>\n

One of the cars we wanted to talk to him about was his E92 BMW M3<\/a>, a car he loves. He bought his from Enthusiast Auto Group (EAG<\/a>), who are just about the best sellers of used BMWs in North America. Like all EAG cars, Scott\u2019s M3 is near-perfect and he actually got it at a reasonable price, which is what\u2019s shocking. His car also has a few Dinan mods and an M Performance exhaust, which make it quite a bit more fun. Interestingly, his car also wears a Frozen paint color and we discuss the maintenance myths that come with it.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s also interesting is that Scott recently bought a car from Doug DeMuro\u2019s auction site Cars and Bids<\/a>. While Cars and Bids hasn\u2019t quite reached the absurdity of Bring-A-Trailer, in terms of out of control pricing, auction sites are seeing some wild used sports car prices. Scott bought a first-gen Audi R8 V10 from Cars and Bids, his second first-gen R8, and he got it fairly cheap, all things considered. Though, it did come with a heinous wrap that he immediately had removed.<\/p>\n

More than his own cars, though, we discuss the market, why it is the way it is, where it\u2019s going, and what sort of cars are worth buying in this market.
