I saw the car every day near my old place. Driven on winter tires year round, always covered in bird shit. It's a nice looking car imo, but someone rolling in general altimax winters in the dead of summer isn't likely concerned about maintenance. I still think it could be a good deal, but I imagine the purchase price isn't going to be what it costs you for the first few months of ownership.

When OP has no clue about how much of a legend the E39 M5 is and how solid of an example that one posted is, proceeds to share an SMG E60 M5 with over 200,000kms in a shitty ass colour with an ad posted by some fuck who doesn't know how to spell.

To be fair, that's way too high a price for an '01 M5 with high mileage and a cloth interior.

I'd take that special alcantara interior over plain jane leather any day of the week.

- Car needs a new cluster LCD
- IMS not done
- Serviced most or all of its life at Weissach.
Yes, the kit on that car is a replica, and not the greatest one.

That last point is a deal breaker. These guys are a bunch of dumb mother fuckers.

I've never driven a E39 but I would imagine it would be a better drive with a manual than with that garbage smg transmission on the E60, E46

does anyone know of a newer news investigation report than this (2012-2013)? Most of the dealers in this report are still around, but still...

2012-2013 APA Investigation of Vancouver Used Car Dealers, with W5

Tell me the story dukes!

from what little i know, those with maybe 1/2 the mileage of this usually go for north of $20k. i've looked at dead ones that need a mechanical rebuild for $5-6k, and really beat up drivers that are either rebuilt, a tired worn out track whore, or need just about everything fixed or replaced for $10-14k.

with the prices of the DC2R going through the roof these days, even the clean high mileage ones are worth something, provided it's mechanically sound and the aftermarket stuff on it is quality product. but i agree if these was 100% stock it would go for more. regardless, a US buyer would love to grab this at what current exchange rates are at these days and we'll lose another one

Westopher, you should look up how many times they have been sued by customers. They are one step up from being straight up crooks. They are notorious for telling customers that they threw away the OEM parts when infact they resell them. It has happened to 3 friends with 911 Turbos when they went there for turbo upgrades.
