Hi,
I got offered a private sale for a 2005 530D Manual with 99000KM on the clock.
The car looks in good shape and when I test drove the car, the feel is smooth and the gearbox feels solid still.
Pity it doesn't come with any package, no sun roof, no PDC, no Xenon. It is really just a plain 530D, with the old M57 150kw engine.
The asking price is R150000, I must still pull the history from BMW and have the car inspected by BMW or some specialist before I really make the decision.
But I just want to find out from the fanatics if the price is good for the car and if this is worthwhile, if the mileage checks out and there are no comments from BMW, and no major issues from the inspection. I've also pasted the details below from BMWVIN.com.
Thanks a million!
