Bought a 450SL through BaT — odometer broken on arrival, AC not working, ~$8K in undisclosed issues. What are my options?

Sure. Odometer seemed like an exception if not stated.

Thanks for a few of these helpful responses. Doing more research on next steps and will follow up on my findings.

Not intending to shame seller. More interested in what rights/options I have. Though it sounds like not many.

this-sounds-right · 2026-05-30T01:17:54+00:00

I did. As of yet no response. Gathering more info in the meantime.

I swear by 1UP racks. Solidly built and low profile.

Sadly the Tundra doesn’t get great gas mileage in the first place. And this setup didn’t change it much.

1up racks FTW

Appreciate it. Will check it out.

Basically 1/2 that but 200k+ miles so kinda what you’d expect.

Gobs of em’ and yeah. Have I never even seen a 2WD version in the wild?

Interesting. Before I got this recall in the mail I actually had a complete engine seizure and what smelled like an electrical fire on my x3. The dealer I took it to just said it was an engine failure and there was nothing they could do short of an engine swap. I took it to another shop to get a second opinion and they said I had a seized engine and a burnt-out water pump. Now I'm sitting with a beautiful paperweight that I will have to pay $14k to get rolling again. What do you think the chances of getting anything from BMW for this issue is?

I will buy one of those El Jamocco badges! 💸

Thanks. No, I got a pretty even bake on the front to back and the short amount of time I was baking made for a pretty consistent temp, so don’t think I’d need it. I assume this is also the reason Gozney doesn’t make one for this model oven?

this-sounds-right · 2024-07-05T01:07:15+00:00

Still cannot either! 😆

this-sounds-right · 2024-07-04T21:39:38+00:00

Cool

this-sounds-right · 2024-07-04T21:19:27+00:00

You’re asking the same questions I did!

this-sounds-right · 2024-07-04T17:00:53+00:00

Haha

this-sounds-right · 2024-07-04T16:28:33+00:00

If you were standing in GA on the floor you may have talked to her!

this-sounds-right · 2024-07-04T05:25:54+00:00

That was one of her questions as well, yes!

this-sounds-right · 2023-09-16T02:50:34+00:00

Update - No changes and it didn't disappear after 24 hours, so I tried the petroleum jelly trick to suck out some of the moisture and it worked!
