DaveNotSoSideways Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Alot of bargains about atm That 535i says "could be expensive" to me, you want to buy the best you can on that stuff, BIG bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattius Posted January 4, 2009 Author Share Posted January 4, 2009 i couldnt afford the insurance on that one, im looking for a 3 series, parts are plentifull, and insurance is cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Jones Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Hm. I wouldn't mind a 525D Touring, but I'm missing 46000 Euro. So I'm as likely to drive a beemer again as I am to get the above figure as a monthly salary You're missing the point (on purpose probably). You let someone else spend the €46,000 , then wait patiently while all their money evaporates away, then buy it for € 4,600 about 5 years later. Or, if you're feeling really patient, € 460 10 years later. Of course there are already lots of matured ones out there..... Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerard Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 You're missing the point (on purpose probably). Me? (angel) The fact is, you guys are actually quite lucky as cars depreciate quicker in the UK than over (click) here. Good luck hunting Matt, but don't dismiss diesels just because of town driving. Torquey and frugal, they just sound shit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveNotSoSideways Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Looks tidy, price is cheap, 7 owners?! Might wanna check it's history and make sure you look at it thoroughly. Pictures taken a few months ago, could be a story there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattius Posted January 6, 2009 Author Share Posted January 6, 2009 Had a chat with the guy, hes had it up for sale for a while, giving its past history it would be a pig to shift on as i suspect this is why he hasnt sold. so i told him the price range i would be looking at if it was as described.

DaveNotSoSideways Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Wouldnt worry about the stolen/recovered thing, provided it's a solid car. Looks very presentable. Air-Con says it hasn't had a life of total luxury, but the tool kit is still there. You don't care about selling it on for �1000. It's a drive it into the floor car. If I was looking for one, it was local i'd be there like a shot. They are great cars...I do like mine, parking is a total arse though, even at the supermarket the arse end is stuck out 1/2metre from any slots and you can NEVER find a space big enough Feel very secure and safe it in though Grips the road like a beast, ace in this weather.

mattius Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 Well that was a waste of time, car was rusted to hell, arches were gone, all four of them, bootlid was rusted, bonnet was missing half its laquer not just a bit. Drivers door was knackered bodged to hell. Engine oil was still emulsified despite 10 miles of driving. Shame cause from a distance it looked nice.

DaveNotSoSideways Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I got this to stage, it's so consuming trying to find the "right" cheap motor! I can't believe that car was so bad, it looked arite, see, good reason never to buy before you view on ebay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattius Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 i just dont want rust, is that too much to ask! does no one look after their cars nowadays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveNotSoSideways Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I don't do rust either, can't stand buying cars with holes in them. Mines got a few small scabs on, small paint blisters, unattended stone chips... No holes, I need to sort them asap before they become holes!

Nick Jones Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Local garage owner used to have a c plate 525e. He had it for years and years, loved it. It was high (260ish k) mileage when he got it in the early 90s and it finally died in 2006 (of terminal rust mind, not mechanicals) at just shy of 500k! It did get it's oil changed though. I was there one day when he was trying to work out how many tyres it had had....... Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
