Please give me more info about this car....handling....gas......maintainence cost etc.... Maybe try searching for info on Google - there will be a huge amount of the general sought of info you are after. The dealer offers $14000, is the price reasonable? Doesn't sound too bad for a facelift. Good buying if it is NZ new. Where can I get someone to do a check b4 i buy? Where are you located? A franchised BMW dealer is your best bet, followed by an independent who works on BMW's. I wouldn't waste your time with the AA. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
entscheidend 0 Report post Posted April 27, 2009 I would go for a 530i if it was me, these are the best E39 car all round plus you have more power. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do I drive the car to Jerry Clayton OR get them to come have a look? I am sure the dealer wouldnt be happy for someone to drive their veh that far away...

jjs 64 Report post Posted April 27, 2009 Everything is good about that car except for the price.... I'm sure you could get this guy down to $14 or $15k - 2000 530i Or if you don't mind higher kms, this is a very cool NZ new Msport - 2000 528i Keep an eye out on Turners too, they sometimes have some well priced import E39's Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RMC 0 Report post Posted April 27, 2009 Thanks guys.... How is this car anyway? It seems like on the internet there r two extreme side of comments... Some ppl gave 10/10 for reliability... Some gave 4/10 and said it needs to be checked every month..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tire 10 Report post Posted April 27, 2009 Seems like a pretty good price for a dealership, remember you get a new wof and are covered by guarantee when buying through a dealer, thats gotta be worth something. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
