If you guys remember I posted one of these a while back about a 525 vs. this same 530, and by the time we finally jumped on the car, the next day the idiot dealer sold it. :wailing: I could have killed him.
What I'm wondering is like what are the problems I am going to run into with both of these cars? When will the auto transmission go? When will the cooling system go?
If you could share some of your experiences with these cars with me that would be great!
.... you can get a Nice e38 740I or IL for 14k..... I think both of those e39's are very nice cars It really depends what your looksing for:
Daliy Driver or Weekend Car?
Long or Short Commute ?
How much Highway Driving and City?
What do you reasonally expect from the new(to you) car?
How much are you willing to spend?
What Options are MOST important to you In order.
let start with that and I can then help you further, and help you deside on the car tht suits you best But, remember your asking for an opinion not a definate awnser, Your asking just what we think would be best for you.
Thanks,
~Alpine
