hey guys,i am new here, and will be owning a e39 soon. have been shopping around for one for a while now and finally found one that meets my requirements.the car in question is a auto bavarian cbu 528 manufactured in 1996.had it check out by a reputable mechanic and found the car to be in good overall condition except for some wear and tear items like the absorbers, bushes and ball joints that requires some attention. Estimated repair cost to be around +/- 3.5k for all suspension components. besides the parts mention above, the exterior of the car looks good but since its on standard bumpers i will have to change them to m5 items after taking delivery of it. interior looks fine but air-conditioner blower seems to be on the weak side, could be just a resistor or worst will be the motors. under the hood, the engine purrs like a 2.8 should be but the gearbox seems to be a bit lagging, but my mech said some fresh fluids and filter should revive it. anyway, all items are still in acceptable condition and should be still drivable for at least another few months. so its non urgent. i did made an initial offer to the owner for 62k and he has agreed to that price. but after the check by my mech today, i was thinking of retracting that offer and lowered it to about 60k. so is the price of around 60k -62k ok for this car.
