runtothehills 2 Report post Posted August 28, 2011 Is anyone going to put a tender on one of the old crown BMW 730LD's. They all seem to be 2008 models ranging from 66 to 99,000km. If you ask me they had at least another 100km each to go in ministerial service. http://www.turners.co.nz/Vehicles/Pages/Ca...px?RefId=919382 What do you think these are worth compared to similar ones on trademe.? Also, is there much differnce getting a COF versus a WOF, or is that just the diesel equivialant? http://www.carjam.co.nz/car/?plate=gaj250 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silver Fox 43 Report post Posted August 28, 2011 Cof is commercial version of Wof, should be straight forward to change to wof, or use as taxi and keep on cof? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deeveus 81 Report post Posted August 30, 2011 M57TUD30 - very easy to get 600nm out of those, great engine. Some of them have covered a reasonable distance in only three years. I wonder what they will sell for!!! Apparently they are holding on to some for heads of state and VIP's to use for the RWC 2011. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"They [the buyers] can expect to spend thousands for even a basic service. Any major repair will probably cost you about the same as a new Chinese car - they are not recommended for beneficiaries." Or checkout this link here : Herald Thousands just for a basic service? My X5's services were only $400.

antil33t 90 Report post Posted September 5, 2011 God, I love how the media hypes things up... Just because it's not a f**king japanese import it's going to be so EXPENSIVE and UNAFFORDABLE. I reckon car dealers will snap them all up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Only car in the country allowed to cruise around without plates too! They must have changed to the BM's I'm pretty sure my X5 had 15-20,000km intervals so 4 hundi on a service in retrospect is nothing IMO. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I imagine that is an exception whereas the GG's car is always in NZ i.e if Obama came over to NZ, they carry all his cars in a C-17 Globemaster which I'm sure the NZ govt wouldn't make them get complied - lol Obama getting pulled over for no reg/wof/plates and no cert for the overweight car with mods haha!
