Seems to good to be true. Italian styling, fiat diesel reliability, loads of test and tax.

front bumper looks to be a different colour to the bonnet which looks misaligned

That could be my bad eye sight tho!!

If you sell it for €101 before you have to tax it I just saw one at an NCT centre, a 1998, looked like it had been abandoned, I havent seen one of that age without a bit of rust, in fact, Ive barely seen any of thema round anymore at all.
Id like to see some pics of it.

I have a completely standard one garaged at home with no rust. 20 years old this year. It would be still on the road only for the state of the insurance situation at the moment with older cars.

Apparently burns oils, like Mondeo. Bought for 2.5k before Christmas and now traded in.

Just called. Stay well clear?

A year newer and it's the more sought after diesel with cheap tax so it's not like for like.

That looks like it only has 37k on it! Not the 370k.
I’ve seen the newer model not look as good in pics!

Nice looking motor. What would be the concerns in these Accords with mileage that high?

What wears with mileage? Suspension and drive-train. None should be an issue when the car was serviced properly.

Things like rust, rubber issue etc - are really mileage independent, they are more age related.

colm_mcm · 02-02-2018 09:35PM

The bonnet doesn’t line up properly on that Accord. I know it’s only a cheap car.

Drivers side wing looks a different shade as well.
Still the rest of it look OK though.
They are pretty reliable motors in fairness and wear their mileage a lot better than others.

I think it's the wing that doesn't line up. The other side looks to be perfectly aligned.

Glen_Quagmire · 02-02-2018 11:59PM

Some eagle eyed operators on this thread, I wouldn't have spotted that myself

Campion insurance will insure that as a classic if you want to keep it on the road as a second car

High miles but definitely the first facelift E60 we've had in here @ €2,200

Obviously would need to check out but if it drove well, I wouldn't have too many worries about the miles.

No nct?

You make a good point, I totally missed that. To be honest, I'd assume that as a dealer the car would be sold with an NCT?

Not sure, that dealer sell a lot without ncts too. Looks a good car if nct'd though!

Overall the facelift E60 is so much nicer than the pre-facelift imho. I had decided I never wanted an e60 based on a few test drives of pre-LCI models and by chance happened to drive an LCI one and it seemed so much better.

They were the first of the direct injection petrol engines that BMW did so had a few issues at first but if that car has got to 177k miles, I'd be amazed if those issues still exist:
Coil Packs: In the early days these were failing however there is a robust design now. I bought 6 good used ones for my car for €40 off ebay and changed them just in case. New ones are €20 a pop

Injectors: This was the biggie for this engine but as I said, they worked out the issues and most have the latest injectors fitted. You can get them for about €100 each second hand

HPFP: A bit like the diesels the high pressure fuel pump can pack it in. Refurbished units can be had for about €300 now

Apart from that, it's all the standard stuff these days. If it hasn't been taken care of it will be a wreck.

Does 2k seem very cheap for one of these?

Yes but most that dealer sells is as they most likely need expensive work carried out.
