I'm 18 so I don't know if I fit in your young driver category but I wouldn't drive that car.

OK fair dues, I'm in a minority of one thinking it has some saving grace.

Just for the record I wouldn't pay 30k for it but I'd love a drive in it and I'm a bit older than you!

Give me a 535d any day just not that one.

Good luck with it and enjoy it when you do get it.:)

An unmolested, lower mileage, Irish registered, two years newer 535d M Sport can be had for €8k less on DD.

I love low and outrageous cars but I hate the obsession with diesel.

Wanna build a DTM style car? Build a car that may be able to compete. That’s how I see it.

I love the last line.

"Will swap for a Ford Ranger or Nissan GTR."

Could there be two more different vehicles?

Yeah that confused me to hell.

That will appeal to the proper modified German sence which there's definitely a market for, you only have to go to Dubshed to see it

It’s also 2001 and 1999 as advertised, which makes it less vintage

You know that 535 gets more bizarre the more I look at it. Who would swap a Nissan GTR for that? GTR's are like a super car for Gods sake, unless he means one of those 90's GTR's?
He will never sell that for anywhere near that price. Some youngish lad in his mid to late 20's with his rapper style cap, beard and jeans up his arse will probably offer him something for it because he thinks it looks deadly...

This post was fine until the part in bold, then it got pretty painful to read.

Even a 90s gtr is far cooler than the new ones...unless it’s an r33. Those are awful.

When I see a 5 series of this generation tarted up with tinted rear lights, blacked out windows and some funny aftermarket add-ons like 'M' series badges, It seems to be a lad that looks like what I described. It is what it is.

Somewhere at home is a bundle of Exchange and Marts (remember those!) from the late 90s where mk2 Escorts and Corolla twincams went for barely over £1200, max. Mk2 Escorts especially for a few hundred usually

I'll try dig them out when I find the time to do a clean out

While looking for a jigsaw, I happened to find one in the back of my fathers X1/9


I wasn't lying about sub £1200 twincams!


Do you think Tony still has it?

There are plenty of gems in it, lots of stuff you'd never ever see again (Renault 21 Savana, Lancia Thema, MG Maestro tickford, Rover 8xx, Alfa 75's etc) and some of my own fleet making regular appearances, such as an abundance of E34's, W202's, Peugeot 406's (not a 607 mind you) and a lot of Z32's!

But, here's 2 cars that stood out to me some may despair over not acquiring 17 years ago...




There are more of those magazines about the garage somewhere, I will find them!

Not worth half that IMO with the furry seats, tax nearly out and pushing toward 200k kms

I'm looking for an IS250 at the moment and saw that. It's a strange spec, having nav but no leather.

Myself and the OH refer to paddy spec seats as furry.

Looks to be suede of some kind?

4.2L engine with 434,672KM on the clock.
"Has had an easy life in Dublin city and it shows", not the best place for a large diesel to spend its life.

Is there really a market for these, considering its €1800 a year to tax, and I assume very low MPG

Nice wagon but who in their right mind would pay €14k for it. It doesn't even have a boot.

Duke O Smiley

There is a huge worldwide market for them. That will sell close to what it’s advertised for. Saw one make €18k at auction over the summer, same year but with less miles

Is the boot comment a gag? It is right. The third row of seats can be folded up. I have one of those at the moment, serious car but that price is nuts for that mileage.

The only issue with the amazon is the mileage. They do go for silly money.
