MWTS : Classic E34 1989 model

here's my honest assessment

interior : 8/10 now its 7.5/10 cos i took out my head unit

paint : 8/10 nice shiny maroon waxed once /2 mths washed 1x / fortnight parked in a covered car park (means more dust less sun for some reason) (inevitable stone chips nothing major)

engine + gearbox : 8/10 (fresh mobil 1 engine oil + atf, spark plugs, oil filter etc)

power windows all work. the only prob which will be fixed is the rear right hand power window goes down but the up switch is intermittent. left rear cigarette ashtray is absent. its a non smoker car. u can check yourself so the front ashtray is a virgin no melt plastic.

COE till 30/11/2018, Road tax till 30 May 09, Inspection (its original! ) till 30 Nov 2009

now for the bottom line. the current scrap value is 12k COE, 700+ road tax, Body 2k

a dealer has given an offer of 14.5k for it (and that's considered lowball but no choice dealer must earn)

what's been done to it just completed last week

BRAND NEW suspensions, Bilstein AND lower arms at 1.6k altogether.

2 mths ago

BRAND NEW radiator and hoses and the engine, gearbox oil change and of course coolant change with a new thermostat.

come try it out. no harm having a look-see.

pm with contact to arrange as im in and out of singapore often cos of shuttling to hk.

the main routes this car takes are expressways from thomson to jurong and to airport and back.
 
Re: MWTS : Classic E34 1989 model

wow! what good fast response. thanks for the mature dealers who identified themselves. first priority to classic bmw enthusiasts.
 
Re: MWTS : Classic E34 1989 model

just for everyone's information a SIMILAR model in LESSER condition I know the owner sold for 18.8k (this one had been LAYED UP for like 1.5 years sitting around an open air car park) trust me u DO NOT want to buy a BMW that has been sitting idle.
 
Re: MWTS : Classic E34 1989 model

ok some answers for the most common question : what's fuel consumption like. for me cos its 80% highway, 20% city i get about 8.5km / l. however should u be regularly travelling in stop go traffic u'd get around 6.5 to 7km/l hope this helps k?
 
Re: MWTS : Classic E34 1989 model

Hi bro i think yours is the 8v one right ? I had the 24v 92 model a 6yrs ago. so if you are offered 2k for the body, shd consider the offer. I remember my friends 730 91 LWB fetched 600 only, tried selling for close to 1yr. it was in almost mint cndition. Unless of course you not really in need to sell the car. Market is really bad.

Last yr i sold my E65 730ia at 170 to dealer, its a sep 05 car. now dealer selling 05 at 130+. So market really bad. Time o let go fast before its gets worse. cheers
