Heard Cowell in general was decent to work for, so I guess Go auto came in just did a major sweep.

Go auto pays their sales people a flat rate of $500 per vehicle sale. Who would stick around for that kind of pay cut.

Not sure if this is rebuilt titled car, but the frontend panel gaps look pretty bad and the rear bumper alignment looks odd. A normal Mazdaspeed would cost twice as much I suppose...
Edit - Nvm, price was bumped up from ~9k to 15k

If you (or friend) are looking for a usable EV for around town, commute to work, grocery getter ... I'm seeing the BMW i3 with range extenders for like $13K for sale. With range extender, it has range for like 240 kms ... but account for battery degradation ~200 kms, which isn't bad. Apparently, it is made with some high end trimmings, was like $45K when new. The range extender is a weird concept, gasoline engine that is used to generate electricity to run the EV (not to run an ICE engine to run the car). I have a friend who had one as an early adapter back when it came out and he speaks very highly of it. Something like this would be a great 2nd car, not something to go to Whistler or Seattle, too small anyways. Got that weird rear door that opens ... but I guess it gives you a big opening.
Maybe someone who actually has one can chime in with real life experience and tell us whether it is the above or another BMW high maintenance vehicle. On paper and by reviews, it seems good for commuter.
For example, 2014, 105K Kms, $13K, with a 2nd set of wheels & Tires. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace...8925244076706/

I don't know how you can be proud driving that, my buddy had one years ago for his wife's business, unique car to stand out when wrapped... it literally has bicycle tires on it lol they're 155's!!!!
I used to have this dream that someone would drive one around a giant pizza cutting it up into slices with the wheels. It got weird.

I think there is an RS member on here who has the i3. I forget his username but he was also very happy with it given his use case. I think his username is cafe22.

Nobody said that you have to be 'proud' driving that thing ... lol. If I had a Tesla 3 ... that wouldn't exactly make me proud. 'Proud' is your garage queen that you take out in July/Aug for the Sea to Sky.

We test drove one for shits and giggles and it's actually really nice inside and it drives well. Some one brought one to autox and they are actually decent.

The ad was updated with this little gem of a plan:
*UPDATE* as of Feb 8, 2024
Thank you for the interest in the vehicle. As mentioned this is a bankruptcy sale. We are Licensed Insolvency Trustee selling on behalf of creditors. The car was a family vehicle and was driven up until Monday (Feb 5, 2024). We will hold a small one item auction on Friday, Feb 9, 2024. at the parking lot behind 2736 Quadra street, Victoria. Bid starts at $1,600. The sale is as-is-where-is and it is a CASH sale only. You can view the vehicle now at 2736 Quadra Street. Call PARTH at [hidden information] for more information.
