WTB: Family Car - North Island

Recommended Posts

E46, E90, E91, E39, E60, E61, E53, E83, or what have you got for a family of four plus the dog?

Budget: $5k give or take.

Expectations are realistic, but something that can be relied upon daily, and capable and safe enough to chauffeur the family when needed.

Pic for attention:

There’s a black one at Pickapart Takanini if you need any bits. Petrol though.

$5k and reliable for family service.  Surely a Camry. Or a good well-maintained better-than-average e39 530i with bad paint.

E83 X3 2.5, M sport. Just had a WOF, no codes, M54, had a recent oil change and trans service. New rear tyres. Leather interior, runs well.

Viewed and test drove a E39 530i Touring, paint was bad too!

Good buying if you’re in that neck of the woods. I viewed one locally and was pleasantly surprised after taking it for a spin. 

Good thing I picked up the X5 at the weekend, the baby showed up last night!

She's in a sorry state. 

I was missing a handful of 'Naps' (the black dots on the running boards), $15 a piece new!

Picked about twenty-five of them, and a door handle carrier for $12 total.

I'd not been to Pick-a-Part before but it's all good and actually kind of fun, thanks for another heads up @Palazzo!

Yeah, if they have what you need, it’s very satisfying. 
Got quoted $600 to repaint the bonnet in the wife’s Mazda and picked up one there for $70 in the correct colour.
