I got a call from a dealer that was offering a service to me if was unable to find the "car" I'm looking for.. He offered for a fee of $1000 to take me to a dealer auction for BMW's (and I assume other cars) and allow me to look over the vehicles I'm interested in -- if I win the auction, I pay my $$ and pay him his $1k.. Has anyone tried buying a car this way and besides the obvious issues like not being able to drive the car and maybe not having it be CPO.. I'd prefer to get a CPO'd vehicle.. Any comments?

I'm looking for a 2003 745Li in Titanium Gray with a few options.. Since these can be had off dealer lots for ~$50k (on the low end), perhaps the dealer auctions would be lower? Any ideas on how much lower?

Any inputs are much appreciated..
