lovely cars , id say that one has been ragged round though , needs oem alloys or something from the BBS people

That thing has to be in bits to be selling that cheaply. Always loved the 190e Cosworth though.

I know lads here have said that nct is legit but every car I look at with a 2016 nct has the other colour disc,also the digit 2015 on that has something over the 1.

The date doesn't tally with the NCT date, so I presumed that was the reg. date.

It's a right fixer upper if it's not rusted to bits, cheap tax next year as well. If I had the time and space I'd be all over it. still looks well after 30 years.

I've special memories being driven several times at speed in heavy traffic in a brand new Cosworth 2.3 16V in '86 :cool:

I would love to trade up to this!!

What is the tax, considering the hybrid?

It's 1800 odd but about 700 if a 08 on emissions tax..

They jump €10,000 from 07 to 08. Good value in them @ 6k tbf.

Interesting car - '05 BMW 545i Sport, V8, original Irish car, passed NCT this week. Linky[/URL]

That's from the same place I found my 325, PJ McKenna traders, the stuff they don't want they pass onto a couple of sound Polish lads who use part of the yard. I'd say one of them is selling it and from my experience they're straight up.

they bought a 545i and it has only half leather and the awful boggo silver trim , its really not spec'd well at all.

also even though its wet the boot lid looks a different colour to the rest of the car, with that and the halfrauds lettering id suggest it may have had a knock to the boot lid at some point.

frozenfrozen wrote: »

that's not real silver trim i'd say it has been wrapped. it has a different texture than the normal bmw silver trim. the wet car is a dead giveaway that the paint is swirled up to **** too and the different boot lit with horrible badge could be a boot from a donor 520d or something

I've had 3 E60's and I actually look for this silver trim as I like it better than the wood effect personally.

No reflection on the seller but that beemer sets off so many alarm bells I'd be terrified of it

a bit dreamy on the price though. not too long ago you couldn't give these away for 2 grand.

I paid 250 less for a 05 3rd generation with all the toys, even so that second generation still look great for some reason. Great car though I love driving it even though it about 10 miles per week!!!

mullingar · 07-09-2015 05:51PM

That gs300 is only worth 1.5-2k max.

I sold my near identical one with a full LPG kit for €1300 recently with new NCT, but no tax.

Funny enough I had my mind made up to buy yours until that one came along...

Another Eastern European guy flipping another BMW...surely we deserve more.

kupus · 10-09-2015 08:56PM

And perfectly entitled to. If you have a problem with it, you get off your azz and start doing it instead of complaining about it.

2001 S500 with test till May 2016 for €1250

Tommyboy40 · 11-09-2015 09:39AM

It must be horribly broken to be this cheap. 182k will probably need shocks @€;1200 + vat per corner. There's nothing more expensive than a cheap Mercedes

Nct says test out since May.

Tommyboy40 · 11-09-2015 10:06AM

It's a lovely motor and they're fantastic to drive but you'd want to have your eyes wide open when buying. Unless you have access to the Mercedes SD connect system I wouldn't even consider it as the snap on systems won't diagnose many Mercedes systems

Ouch - in fact if you look at the photo, the front seems a little low alright.

It will be the usual crap from the dealer - test it when he sells it.
I hate that way of operating.

Tommyboy40 · 11-09-2015 09:02PM

You'd make much more breaking it
