Agreed, though it's not a risk at £500, the wheels, interiour and steering wheel would see you in profit after weighing the rest in so you get a free go effectively at repairing it.

Life is too short!

You waste £xxx on parts before realising the car is fundamentally buggered, the wheels you thought would bag £xxx turn out to be mangled and the price of scrap is 50p/tonne when you wake up to fact your driveway now resembles an illegal traveller site.

Stump up £2k for a good one and look after it, always the cheapest way

You should buy the best you can afford, if you haven't got a couple of grand then this could be a way in for no cash.

Personally, I'm st at mechancial stuff therefor it'd make more sense for me to do the overtime at work and spend the extra if I needed to so it's never going to be for me. Some on here though could no doubt do a decent job with it

Magnificent.

I agree. Almost timeless. Subtley classless too. Like.

Guilty of lurking but was just looking at prices of 190s, a family member selling one soon. Found this more budget conscious 'touche' to the above, also a 2.6.

Below thread budget but looks good for a monkey...

1999/S BMW 523i 2.5 SE

As nice as it is it makes the £5k 530i Sport on the same mileage look like a bargain!

[hornetrider]

Edo - 4k for a 13 year old 523!!!!



Edit: With free jizz covered passenger seat!

Non runner needs love. Could be nice with work. Or not

What makes it a non-runner then? The seller is curiously quiet on that front. Cosmetic damage and a weird-looking passenger seat aside that's a great big lump of machinery for about half a bag.

That looks lime it's being sold by a trader. If so, its fked. No tax and test, a non-runner and a trader can't get it going? Walk away.

I might be wrong though (but I still wond be bidding!)

or ruinous! Both though would be ok as the former will negate the latter...maybe!

Looks in great condition, but I agree, near £4k for a 13yr old one is madness.

If you understand such things and happen to find a read ended or rolled E39 M5 it could make a good project base.

If I had a million pounds in the banm, a barn, lots of tools and another two days mechanical training I'd run out of money surrounded by unfinished project cars in about 6.5 weeks. Still at least I'd have a lot of radios and some nice chairs.

Tell tale indicator of goodness: modern Becker headunit (a Grand Prix 7990, which includes Bluetooth for the 'phone). Only a very committed owner would go to that trouble. The colour combination also is lush (although Anthracite would shade it).

It's not a minter, but then it isn't priced as one. I like very much.

Nice car Very reasonable price in my opinion.

Something about adverts... I think it's possibly me being picky but I find adverts with opinion annoying. Purely facts make for a better read since that's what I'm looking for. I don't care if the seller thinks the mileage is representative of wear or not or any other waffle about the engines performance.

Completely agree. That does however look like a nice buy for the £.

Damn fine looking motor is that! Looks very modern for a nine year old motor. Is that the same engine as the 3.0 Legacy that everyone raves about....with the same horrendous MPG?

[Jimbo.]

Yes. And only ever available as an auto in the Outback, just to round down the MPG figures to a nice, memorable number

Beige leather on a silver car not working for me at all.
