Good buy or not? Miles are a bit high and no existing warranty. Anything I need to watch out here?

I would never buy from a "shady" dealership. Private sale or a more well-known dealership for me...
Also, do you have a pair of brown flip-flops?

Upon further inspection there are A LOT of bad reviews with that dealer.
Is Mike calling this an arlington yuppie car?

He rides bikes and has a Vdub with a roof rack that costs the better way up to a grand.... He is a "scenester" alright, so dont mind the yuppie comments.
 I forgot to ask Mike, do you also wear girl jeans?

Hippy != Yuppie.
I still have a soul. It might be green and covered in canvas, but it's in there.

I got news for everyone in Northern Virginia... we're all fucking yuppies... just different flavors. We're like the Baskin Robbins of yuppies.
A hipster is a yuppie that thinks they're a hippie because they're greener than everyone else. (Hi Mike! )You want to know what a real hippie is, come to Vermont with me some time. They don't have internet, they can barely keep a phone number, they don't wear shoes and they don't shower.

Aside from the rumours of massive HPF failures, a coworker (who loves bmws) just sold his 335i and warns anyone about owning one, despite the BMW "fix" his bmw was in the shop every 3 months for a new HPFP. Eventually gave up and sold it so he could buy a 2001 740i Sport. He considers it reliable compared to the 335i cause its ran the past 6 months without going into BMW.

Are you dead set on BMWs? You can get a TL in great shape for that coin. It's going to be generally way more reliable too.
