For $8700 it should not be sold. That's a sick price and you will kick yourself in the balls.

SLS is intact/not leaking
Like I said tons of other things have been done, for more specifics let me know

That is a nice unmolested NA M5. You may regret letting her go at that price. IMO, it appears to be in better condition than many that sell for more. Very photogenic. :D

anyone remotly interested??? I dont want to have to no reserve ebay it so some 16 year old can buy and destroy it. Also, if you are a first time looker at my flickr photos please note that the first photos are whats wrong with the car, the side albums give a beter first impression. VIN are shown in album as well. Somone ran a car fax and said there is a good # of emissions retests as well as the already mentioned collision. I will listen to ANY offer!!! I love it but I must sell.

By your estimation, how badly was the car damaged when hit on the right side?
I can see a little dip in the rear door in one of your close-ups, which doesn't seem so bad, but you also mention that the hood was repainted, dash replaced, and seats recovered shortly after the accident, which might indicate a pretty serious t-bone. Of course, the painting of the hood may well have been done just because they were painting anyway/highway chips..

Thanks,
Chris

I dont think it was all that bad doors were repaired(# match) I dont think any of the int was replaced because of damage from collision, because no interior door pannels were replace, just seat covers and dash. Thanks

Any interest in a trade for a high-end watch?

Post by Speedmaster »

I have an Omega Speedmaster 376.0822 I would be inclined to trade for it. It is highly sought after.

Nice car.
Are there any records of the timing chain guides being replaced?
Has anyone done a compression and leak down test?
Are the seats the same color as the original color?
Photos are difficult for things like that.
Are those the original wheels with metric tires?

I know who bought the car and it will be taken care of.
If he hadn't bought it I would have.

I got the lowest price I was willing to sell for, but glad it sounds like it will be cared for.
