buying a 524tdA

Post by Sviestish »

Hi!
I`ve decided to buy a 524tdA. As there aren`t a lot of choise, the best which is offered is one with an automatic. Here you can see some pics http://www.ss.lv/msg/lv/transport/cars/ ... kbihm.html
The car is in a pretty good shape, except for the rear chrome strip which needs to be changed becouse of rust. There are 2 dents, but it seems that the color isn`t scratched, it looks that you can easily bump them out. It has central locking, sunroof (mechanical), heated seats :rockon: , original ///m steering wheel and a Zender body kit. The only ''problem'' is that it has a green interiour.
I wanted to ask for your help on what to look at, common faults, where the body is more likely to rust etc... Before I had a 518i, so I know something about e28, but not enough. Basicaly I want to know what you can check before buying with your own I, becouse it seems that there won`t be a possibility to go to a service station...
Thanks for your help in advance!
