This is my boss's car, a 2005 Mercedes E55. He is a Mercedes nut and a car guy, his wife drives an ML550. He's thinning the herd (he may be retiring soon... ). I have not seen it in person, but I'm 100% sure this car is in excellent shape, he does his own maintenance regularly (the larger stuff he takes to the dealership).

If that car is Bahama Beige Metallic, I may have to buy that fucker. At that price, even I could afford to ship it clear across the country... Link/source of original ad??

ETA: Agree, gotta be a scam. Price too good to be true. I know $500 cars and that ain't no $500 car.

I have been to see the car, it was advertised at $1190 and $890 previously. Every panel has dents or rust, the interior is OK and regarding the cooling system leaks, the kid couldn't tell me how many times he overheated it. Hydraulic pump has probably been run dry too, though I am not sure how long.

It's his mom's car, he owes her money so he had to give it to her and now put it up for sale for her. I ran away.

Meh. If I lived close, I'd snag it for a parts car. Looks pretty good in the photos, though.

"Upgraded sound system" is always a big red flag to me. That is usually a pretty good indication that the kid that owns the car cared more about spending his money to make himself deaf and subject everyone within earshot to the musical stylings of whomever than on maintenance.

Oh absolutely. I just wanted to chime in to say it is a real $500 car. And I am pretty sure it sold for that much.

http://boston.craigslist.org/gbs/cto/5619182670.html

This one might be worth looking into. The underside appears decent for a New England car, so it's possibly not originally from the rust belt. Getting the A/C working properly might be expensive, and I'd verify the mileage is true (strange that it would need a new cat with just over 100K).

[Sapotorito]

Agreed, also that front air dam/bumper looks as if it has been hit or something; doesn't look straight at all... Specially the passenger side.

[Greg E34]

The RonP 745 was listed on Pelican several months ago at $18.5. I don't think he got any inquires. I thought the car is too well known for a 5k flip.

My understanding is that the current owner put quite a bit of money into it fixing things.

Why would that be needed; I thought it had been restored?

The new owner thought that it had too.

Man, an e for $10k and still needs a few things like a fender painted and no mention of miles... And, if you want the nice seats an additional $350.00!

AND automatic! that's crazy..

Think of it as more of a set of wheels with a car bolted to them.

[al525i]

but where else will you find a smoged e28? 10k is a deal

[LarryM]

Seller says the wheels are 16" but they look like 16" centers with 17" barrels/lips to me. They look great but I wouldn't want to deal with them on a daily basis...especially in/around L.A. If the potholes don't get them the thieves will.

E28 M5 w/ 110k mi
http://www.ebay.com/itm/191893486237?_t ... EBIDX%3AIT

This is a true survivor, with 110,000 miles. Reconditioned paint, interior, gas tank. New fuel pumps, lines, front suspension and CPU with Dinan chip (have factory as well). Mechanical is excellent, body is excellent as are tires, brakes and exhaust.

Any questions just ask and I will get back to you as soon as I can.

[muleskinner]

Why don't people take the time to, or if they're too lazy, pay to have someone detail the car inside out including the dusty engine compartment before they try to sell it? Also, it would take all of 45 minutes to Plasti Dip the front grilles including R&R time.

[MicahO]

In addition I just recently had the clear coat reshot and buffed out, a little dull and minor service scratches.

That sort of calls into question the entirety of the paint and body..... It will be instructive to watch a public auction and what sort of price it brings.

1994 BMW M5 3.8 liter imported from Germany - $20000 (Oshkosh)







For sale is my 1994 BMW M5 3.8 E34 hand built sedan.
Clean title with importation documents in hand.

Very rare and sought after M5, the S38b38 (inline 6, 3.8 liter) engine runs really well, idles absolutely perfect and pulls extra hard. Always been maintained, I do oil changes for fun on this car. ALWAYS used 15w-50 synthetic oil, and filled up with premium gas. The 5 speed transmission shifts through each gear smooth as can be no signs of clutch wear. The car sounds wonderful with the stock exhaust. Though the previous owner cut out the resonator, it is in the trunk if you would like to put it back on (it's not loud and obnoxious if that's what your thinking). The car has the desired dark grey alcantara suede/hurricane M clothed manual seats. Stock M5 throwing star wheels in damn near flawless condition. For as fast as this car was built to go, it gets great gas mileage. Only 86,000 miles. Parking brake is a bit weak it needs to be pulled all the way up for it to work (just needs to be adjusted). The sale includes many miscellaneous parts that are new and not yet installed. Also many old parts that I replaced over my 2 years owning this car. The car could use a new secondary air pump but it is not needed nor does it take anything away from the S38b38 experience. I would suggest getting new black door trim pieces all around the car, I just bent the driver door one on accident.. cheap part.

I drove the car 30 hours straight to Seattle and 30 hours straight back with absolutely zero hiccups. Put on over 5,000 miles on that trip and the car loved every mile of it. I don't drive it nearly as much as I would like to. The car cover this gem is hiding under is just collecting dust in my storage unit. I'd rather have it driven and admired by another fellow BMW enthusiast. I would suggest getting new headlights, the previous owner put in some really shitty ones.. But it is not needed. Will need sway bars soon which I'll most likely do before it sells, I'm just stating the current condition of the car. I don't have the time right now in my life for this car but that doesn't mean I HAVE to sell it and nor do I really want to sell it. I had plans to keep it forever, as does everybody that gets there hands on one of these..but things change. I just hope it goes to a good home.
In the past 6 months I've done:
New brakes
New spark plugs
New coil packs
New valve cover gasket and other top end gaskets
New slave cylinder
New alpine head unit (stock head unit is in the trunk)
Fresh oil and filter as of end of April @ 86k miles

I'm sure I'm forgetting some things I'll edit my ad as I think of them.. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me I'll be happy to answer them. Texting is the best way to get ahold of me. No low ball offers please don't waste my time or yours just save it for the both of us. I'm asking a very reasonable price, the value of this car will only go up.

That sort of calls into question the entirety of the paint and body..... It will be instructive to watch a public auction and what sort of price it brings.

Being that this car is already over $17k, I am going to have to concede that the $10k M5 is probably history. At least this one looks very original, so it should be a pretty straight forward restoration project. Paint/body, leather, dash, timing bits and a proper disassemble, clean, reassemble with new rubber and gaskets.

Which takes another $20k+ When done. Good.
