Schaefft Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Ooh, local as well! Make sure to post it in our FB E39 market place, manual 530d are quite desirable for many apparently, you should be able to sell it for that price if the right person sees it.

BorniteIdentity Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Christ. That's an issue? Surely in a car of this age and colour you're just channeling your inner giffer and parking by ear no?

They_all_do_that_sir Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 In my opinion it's the best engine to have in one of these if you actually intend using it as a daily. GLWTS Sent from my SM-A510F using Tapatalk AMC Rebel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been getting floods of offers around £500, is it really worth so little?Not neccesarily. If you'd put it up for £1000 they'd be offering £700, for £500 they'd offer £300. Just the way it works.

stripped fred Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Agree about the mot. At this price point the length of mot can have a bigger effect in value. It does look quite tidy though and a lot of car for the money. Quite tempted by a big old smoker! Can you really get 47 out of one of these? I would have thought more like 37.

And yeah, 800 quid is about right for this one, the high mileage is the biggest issue obviously, with a bit of waiting you can find one with 50k less for little more money. Most "E39 enthusiasts" are mostly looking for Sport models as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YES (Probably) The issue is that if it goes wrong it will be scrap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New POD Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Only 2 months MOT wont help. This. Bangernomics values a car at £40 to £100 a month, so an offer of £500 was VERY good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Sterling Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jahuMNUQ9_4 I didn't realise Nyphur couldn't drive or that he damaged this car, and that he had a moustache!

stripped fred Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 I'm going to have a guess that veg will kill one of these. This is based in nothing note than a hunch. Am I right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
