Seen this car for sale is this cheap or market value. I assume apart from DPF and turbos this car should be able to do another 150k miles. Will the suspension need money spending on it? Cheers.

Seems very good value to me. New model, non sport and market flooded with these I would guess would be major contributing factors.

Being a manual 5 series will always reduce appeal, an auto is cheaper to finance than a manual, and a sport cheaper still, which shows you what the market reallly wants.
But if you're happy with a manual SE it seems like a very good buy.

I need to keep below 160 co2's. Will go off and look at some autos!

cloth interior and being an estate dont help either.

Estates always fetch more, saloons are for fat sales reps!!!

Not quite apples for apples but my Father in law has just taken 5K for his 120k 57 plate 520D saloon with a spanish box and cloth against a AUC X5. He's had the E60 from new and its fsh with 12 months MOT and 4 new run flats - ouch

A harsh value, but to be expected when he's trading in to a main dealer with a mileage that is too high for them so they've got to move it on. And wrong spec etc.
