M5V8 337 Report post Posted September 18, 2014 Thanks for the feedback everyone. Some lucky punter will be getting an awesome piece of kit. Probably good to note. This sale does not come with any poodles or soiled beige pants. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Obviously, if you sell them you'll have to abandon your post on the residents' association and neighbourhood watch. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jeffbebe 1559 Report post Posted September 23, 2014 ha! Just a bit envious of the person that will get to take it home. Have you had much interest so far? There's a similarly priced one on TM that's been up for sale on and off for ages but the owner has done a miserable job of trying to sell. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M5V8 337 Report post Posted September 23, 2014 I've only thrown it up here so far. I've had a few questions through PM. I don't need to sell it right now as I don't need to change cars until December but I know sometimes these things can take sometime so I thought I would start here to see if I can't get her the best new home I can. She deserves that much. If I get the right offer then i'd deal with the issues of dropping to a 1 car family. Maybe i'll bike to work. In October i'll list on trademe. See how that goes. If it takes sometime, well it does. I can't say I don't enjoy driving it in the meantime. Good examples of these are becoming very rare indeed. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
str8_6 275 Report post Posted September 24, 2014 Good examples are rare. I used mine daily for a while but it's become more of a weekend car. I now don't use it as much as it should be (I also get reminded of the space it's using in the garage a lot). I toy with selling it, but can't quite let go. Good luck with the sale, someone is going to be very happy with their purchase. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M5V8 337 Report post Posted September 24, 2014 Cheers Aaron. funnily mine story is exactly the opposite. She's been a wknd cruiser & long distance tourer for most of it's life. Now moving to Auckland it's a daily that can't fit in my garage due to steep drive. Hence why I need an auto SUV. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jeffbebe 1559 Report post Posted September 25, 2014 Think you need some help with some better photos, Darren. I took some fancy ones of my 540 and sold it for a pretty penny. I could take a few this weekend if you're around. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jeffbebe 1559 Report post Posted September 25, 2014 (edited) I've got an underground carpark at work that is vacant at the weekends. Used it to photograph my 540i when I sold it... http://bimmersport.co.nz/topic/48829-sold-2000-e39-motorsport-540i/?p=527436.

KwS 2425 Report post Posted September 25, 2014 ha! Just a bit envious of the person that will get to take it home. Have you had much interest so far? There's a similarly priced one on TM that's been up for sale on and off for ages but the owner has done a miserable job of trying to sell. That other one on TM doesnt look anywhere near as tidy as this one (and IIRC has a non-M5 front bumper on it) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeffbebe 1559 Report post Posted September 25, 2014 Can't remember the exact details but it's hard to ascertain condition because the seller has made no effort to 'shot it off'. Ultimately, with an M5 you're unlikely to sell on the basis of a few fancy pictures but it certainly helps stir the loins and get people calling and looking.

My car is generally pretty clean anyway but the predicted rain on the wknd wont help. No worries. May go to the SPCA hot rod and classics show on Sunday for a couple of hours if the promised rain stays away but otherwise will be close to home most of the weekend.
