He would want to have a doctorate in nuclear physics to sort that out.

I can do it for him last month if that’s handy.

hi Colm_mcm, when the car is moving there's a rattling noise from under the car (chassis).

The most likely thing for it to be is the heat shield for the exhaust which is under the car, directly under the back seat.

Probably fair to point out that Viorel's first language is not English.
He's just trying to sell a car as best he can.
Looks clean but as with any old BMW you'd need to check it out carefully.

MarkN · 09-01-2020 02:47PM

Fair enough but he is trying to sell a car in an English speaking country on a website that's in English. The auld Google translate even would help. It'll put people off, I've no doubt. Cables hanging down look messy too but it is only a grand.

cheap insurance on a 16 year old 520? what planet is he on?

BonnieSituation · 09-01-2020 03:11PM

Well, he lives near Finglas you would surmise.

Taking out car kits just ruins consoles. Those 4 holes look rotten.

Did you understand him? Then stop being such a French douché and pretend you didn't.

And it's an LWB to boot. That would be great for a while to saunter about in.

Why is the tax so high

It's a 5 litre v8

EDIT: Looking at Dutch rates it seems it's only €291.00 per quarter. I woudl have expected it to be a lot higher!

Looking at it again, is it sitting a bit high or is that just me?

Because it's based on engine size on the old tax system. Anything 3.0 litre or above are charged the top rate. If the car was cheap to tax the seller would be asking for a lot more than 2k.

It's 12 years this year since the CO2 based system came in, wouldn't ya think anyone interested in cars or even buying a car would understand these things ??

The answer might be in your question.

Somebody with a shiny new driving licence just beginning to get interested in cars could have been 6 when the CO2 system came in.

We all had to start somewhere.

And yet, the 2008 petrol model of the same car, which would be eligible for taxation under the CO2 system, would cost €2350 pa to tax!

I love how he just adds a month onto the NCT and tax expiry dates in the title.

Best yet was a guy who claimed the tax was until August when it was up the end of April.

When I questioned him on it he says, "But they wont seize it till August"

Seriously.

Same fella probably believes he has a weeks grace to transfer his insurance!

A serious amount of sellers seem to do that. i.e. if it says 11-20 on the tax disc they believe/ claim that its taxed until 12/20. Arguably depends on what way you look at it but whatever way you look at it I don't know how you could claim that a car which says 25-06-20 on the NCT disc is NCT'd until 7/20.

….I would consider that car taxed until 11/20 all day long.

I don't get why they just don't quote what's on the certificate...
