:(
Evening guys, i really don't want to sell this, but looks like i now have to, this due to my now Ex-employer spectacularly fucking my wages up.
So the dilemma, keep this and literally have £not_much to last me till the end of next month OR let her go to pastures new.


1995 BMW 840
Runs good, gets up to temperature and does not overheat.

I've recently put new steering an suspension bits on it, some of which were supplied with the car, other bits sourced via interwebs, everything gt a liberal coating of copper grease as removing the old stuff was a barstood !!
I also pre-loaded the bushes etc correctly when fitting, so they should last some time.
Gearbox selects all gears fine, with no nasty noises.
Rear diff is also in fine fettle.
Electric leather front seats
All singing and dancing MP3/ bluetooth stereo
Some sort of hands free device - that can connect and play music through your phone.


It comes with no MOT or Tax
Boot could do with sanding down (MEGGA lacquer peel) and spraying
Needs a new tyre or two
And possibly an ABS sensor

Only doing this as i need the pennies, otherwise it would stay

£1900

As you can see from the pictures above, the bodywork is in good condition apart from the boot needing paint.
Some pictures of replaced bits and pieces ...

It really has fucked me up !
Not only have they not paid me the correct rate on things, but i have somehow ended up with LESS than i normally would have taken home, so i've had to politely ask my landlord if i can try pay him double next month, which should leave a bit of room in my pocket, but still not comfortable, so i may go digging in the garage later for other shit to shift.

MM5, how do you get on with the bank?

Are you normally in credit, pay things off on time etc?

If so, ask them for a three month overdraft.

 

I don't like credit but three months should allow you to claim the money back, clear off any accrued debts and keep the 840.

Three months is also placing a time frame on the whole thing.

they might charge you for this but consider what you'd give to be out of the hole for three months...

Mhhm never even knew you could do such a thing Tayne !
I don't even have a standard overdraft, but yes i think in all my years i have only been overdrawn once (As i'm sure you can guess my wages went in late)

IF this big old girl doesn't sell, then it is something i will look into but i REALLY hate loaning / lending money

~Also pictures are being uploaded, so shall amend first post with pictures
