Well, it's JDM so that licks balls... and the first line says it's a "feeler" ad so he's obviously trying to gauge interest and start a bidding war.

| Toyota Supra MKIV : MKIV Specifications
Nice looking car but no collector value. I didn't realize they sold 31,000 in Japan and 11,000 in the USA

Although on the certification front I don't think any manufacturer would certify a vehicle with an odometer that high.

Theres no such thing as free labor.
The tech has to get paid even to look at the car briefly. 
Im guessing the car wasnt worth spending money on for recon, and profit margin would be next to none, so the dealer manager decided to "wholesale to public" kind of deal, maybe for someone that could use a cheap car and don't mind spending a few bucks to fix it to make it driveable.
as for the CEL, it could be a sign of something major.......... or maybe just a bad gas cap. won't know till you put a scanner to it.
still, $6k ish for a 2011 128i...... good beater to run into a ground. Better to get into a wreck in one of those than per say, a $5000 early 2000's Honda Accord.... just sayin

The 128 still looks in great shape cosmetically. Spend 25k on suspension, wheels and an s65 swap and be king of the universe for around 30k.

BMWs tend to have pretty decently galvanized shells, so it'll unlikely rust. sealed undersides. better protected than most japanese cars. lots of plastic on the undersides.
and also, good news! according to BMW website. Quote:
The warranty for perforation due to corrosion is for a period of 12 years / unlimited kilometres.
This warranty begins on the date of first registration, or the date the vehicle is first placed in service as a demonstrator or company vehicle, whichever occurs first.
Please see your authorized BMW Retailer for additional information on coverage and limitations.

That seems like a really good deal in the current market? I would have instantly assumed fake if it wasn't a dealer, still seems like there has to be a catch.
