[QUOTE="Iceduke, post: 674737, member: 3721"] bro... keep in mind that these cars are already 10yrs old...and its buying at that age obviously the parts will be timed to change. Rule of thumb when buying used Euros... 1) Low mileage 2) Less owners 3) Service / Parts changed history The points above are negligible if you know the owner or is one of the forummer's cars. Major problem is coz these cars are sent to bawah pokok (non-specialist) and owners treating the car like shit. Even for mechs, best to find one that does not slaughter too much, helps if you form a rapport with him like I did with mine. Before plunging for a used unit, why don';t you get us to help tag along and see the car u've spotted? :) The figures given by AS are the total amount, not all parts need to be changed altogeher, some can be staggered. Anyhow bottomline buying any used cars you should always budget 5-10k to refurbish it. If you're one of those who just want clockwork, get a new car :) Cheers bro, hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
