I currently own a 2000 E39 with 185,000 miles. I love this car, however it's getting pretty ragged.
As I was talking to someone about possibly getting a new car, they mentioned their father-in-law had a car "exactly" like mine for sale with very low miles.
I further investigated it and called, and it turns out it's a 1999 E39. The gentleman that owns it had a stroke and his son is selling it.
Here is the deal -
It only has 46,000 miles and in very great shape! The guy was the original owner. Never an accident
The car is dark green with tan interrior Premium Package
The only flaws are: Passenger side cup holder broken Passenger side sun visor attachment broken Plastic shield under the front end is loose (might have hit the curb)
The pain and interior is like new. Has 4 new tires and inspected until Jan, 2011
The asking price is $8,000
Did I stumble on a great deal or can someone tell me a reason NOT to get this car???
