Looks immaculate and a full service history on a 22 year old car is a great find.

It's overpriced but not by much, imo.

Its a minter by all accounts...

I drove one of them 525i back in 2004, 'twas a 1989 reg too, savage yoke in fairness, drove like a new car. Was only €1500 or so iirc back then. Was doing Cork to Dublin twice a week most weeks at the time so didn't buy it Silly me.

Meh,

Child is too close to the car(hate those bastards on those stupid bikes)
Driver side rear door looks a little roof, needs a close up.
Car is not exactly clean. Get a freakin brush to those alloys man.

Warrants much closer inspection.

Getting progressively dirtier on the outside too!

Wonder was the auto-box issue mentioned in the first advert actually sorted, or have the subsequent adverts just neglected to mention it?

Doubt it, hence the quick offload by each owner.
Probablly feels ok on the test drive, but during the first two weeks of ownership you can imagine the feeling of "oh no, what have I gone and bought...??" as it hunts up and down the gearbox looking for the right gears.
I can just hear the mecahnic for each owner now......"look, get rid of it while you still can and while there is a bit of NCT left"

Its a bag of bavarian shyte...........LOL

early 90's jap reliability, lots of goodies being the japanese import model, 4wd for our new found snowy winters, good economy.... if i got it for a grand i'd be well pleased.

granted its a bit of a donkey of a thing with a lumpy engine and cack paint, but it has plenty of merits.

A bucket it may be, but it's a perfect basic for a nice sleeper project !!!!

Done right, this would be a scooby destroyer!!! Big help from the feather weight chassis!



Edit: i wouln't fancy a 100k-0 in 2 meters in this

if someone put a skoda badge on it, people would be coming in their droves for it! if it weren't for the flaking paint on the bonnet, its a difficult car to fault.

A friend of mine is after getting an S320 LWB (95), tested for 6 months (The fella who I sold my E200 to).

It's black, ex-ministerial, full black leather, every extra (bar sat nav) double glazed windows etc.

I drove it yesterday and my god it has made me so very very tempted to buy one. The only problem is I've a slight incline into my estate and I couldn't manage more than 9mpg coming up the hill! That said it cost him 15€ to drive from Portarlington down to Limerick I'll try get pics

Jeez, he could have took a bucket and sponge to it before taking close ups of the wheels, could be worth a look at €500.
