So I managed to total my 2011 M3 (constructive loss at 30k which is less than half the value of the car!) and I'm in the market for for a 2010 GTR (right in the price range for a 2012 M3). I came across a mint GTR in my area (if you count 100 miles an area) but need advice on what to offer - my scenario is different than the rest I promise!! 
So based on the carfax, the car sat on the lot from 2009-jan 2011 (makes the warranty date jan 2011) and then was sold at auction in october. The car is realllly low miles (less than 4000) but they are asking 77k for it. I have a hidden gem up my sleeve in that I know the price they paid at auction for it (access to post sales at major auction locations). I know the car is mint: went over it for almost 40 minutes and couldnt find anything - not even a nick or scrape marks under the front splitter/bumper - car even has a 3m bra that was professionally installed.
I know they are 69k into the car - is offering them 71k an acceptable profit?
mucho thanks in advance.
