I've always been rather fond of the idea of cars with only one owner, or at the most, two before yourself.
How many do you guys feel reasonable, and why? I'm looking at a car at the moment which is otherwise pretty much exactly what I am after, but it has a total of 5 previous owners. The car is coming up for 6 years old - it is an X reg (So the first of the facelift E39s).
It has FSH and is apparently immaculate, but for some reason I felt a dip in my enthusiasm when they said how many previous owners the car has had. The current owner has had it for nearly a year and has a properly genuine reason for sale (I wont go into why, but I'm 100% certain it is being sold for the right reasons).
So, on average, a new owner every year. Would this put you off, and why? It's putting me off which is a shame as the car is otherwise just what I'm after.
