Surely this must be cheap?

[daemon]

A dealer local to me has this for sale. A friend of mine has seen it and it has a proper history, and receipts for recent spend on suspension bushings etc. Heres the ad

"2004 156K FBMWSH MET SILVER ALLOYS CD A/C CLIMATE CONTROL FRONT AND REAR PARK SENSORS BLACK CLOTH MOTD JULY NEW MODEL VERY VERY CLEAN INSIDE AND OUT EX ENGLISH CO CAR"









It can be bought for £5500.

Big miles, but surely thats cheap?

[pattyg]

Bargain at that price methinks

[DennisCooper]

Hiya

Doesn't say what size engine the car is...

also, the description mismatches a little of the pics, Parking sensors front and rear, but the car in the picture doesn't have them!?

Whats an 'Ex English Co' ? I presume he means it was a Company Car?

It is cheap for sure, perhaps hiding a few ailments too?!

Cheers, Dennis!

Apologies - its a 525d SE.

Billy bargain in anyone's book.

[mattman]

at that price its worth spending a couple of hundred on an AA check

if only it was a touring i'd have it

Great deal, but not for somebody who wants a £5k car. It's a good deal for somebody who wants a more expensive car but instead decides to buy that, because it will be expensive to keep going.

Not that this is an issue, I'd far rather spend thousands running a £5.5k E60 than spend nothing running a £9k Focus.

Its a cheap way into e60 motoring. I dont do big miles anymore - maybe 6-8K per year - so the upkeep wouldnt be too bad.

I see a breaker on ebay has a full black leather SE interior with doorcard, etc, taken from a pre LCI 2007 car, which would set this car off perfectly for £250.

Have to say i'm tempted, though gathering up the cash at the minute might be tricky.

But you're not a big fan of BMWs?

My only objection to them is the price you have to pay for the friggin things!!

Nice.

Was thinking of maybe a Boxster for the weekends when i get my finances sorted out again. Not new or anything, maybe down the money a bit and maybe get a turn at it. Wifie is looking for one of the new STi's but i cant see her changing her current car for a while
