What attracts you to it? At that price I'd only consider if it has complete dealership service record?

"Drives like 80K"

I'd possibly say yes at that price for the milage it has built up.

I don't normally care about milage but 195K would make me think twice

[chippy17]

just thought it looked decent but yes I think you guys are right, the mileage is just too high, sorry to have troubled you

[steve_bmw]

it may run and drive great but at 195,000 miles you gotta ask yourself how many more miles will it do and whats the value going to be in a year or so with more that 200,000 miles on its back, if you were to sell it on when your done with it i think you will have problems selling it, even at any price, there are 1000's of five series to choose from,
i am sure if you looked in the classified you will find something with much less miles on.

Expensive for what it is

[okgo]

Very expensive, it should be going on half that.

[chippy17]

yes you are quite right having had a look it is very expensive

[okgo]

What are you looking for?

[matt21]

A very tidy 193k 02 plate 525d SE saloon went through auction last week for £1900.

I would suggest the touring adds £500 tops so it is still approx £1500 overpriced.

I wouldn't be too worried about 195k if it has bills, good history and drives well. I bought my touring at 202k and ran for 30k without an issue.

I don't know really!!!

I want a economical comfy motor for flogging up motorways and for my wife to the school run in, currently have a Impreaza wagon which I may keep as 4wd can come in handy where we live but it chews fuel...

I do not want anything mint as my wife has a habit of destroying cars!
