2010 from Michigan

[M5Greg]

I misread the carfax. It was leased for 3 years then sold at 72k miles, or 24k miles a year.

The current lot changed the egr cooler before putting it up for sale.

I bought it and 100 miles down the road I get a CEL with code P20EE. The dealer said they will take care of it.

It drove great, it kept sneaking up to serious ticket territory.

Seems sketchy. Were they like... ?

One piece of advice, since you had a code so quick: Take a mirror and check around under the hood. When I purchased mine, which also went through a dealer auction, somebody (dealer, PO, not sure) had used what appeared to be Red RTV high heat Permatex gasket maker to band-aid oil leaks from the valve cover. A few months of ownership and that 'fix' stopped working, which is where the 'fun' began and my issues reared their ugly head. A quick look with a mirror would have found that.



Not familiar with your engine, but if they were trying to pass it off as a solid engine, you never know what you might find.

I think I read somewhere that it was 'recently serviced'...what does that mean? "We got all the maintenance up to date" or "we replaced as little as possible to get the light off, trying to sell quick".
