Parting with my E39

[gabey]

We spent close to 10 years together. Along the way, we had great fun, made many fantastic journeys and good friends who share a common love for their E39s. However, the time has come for me to part ways with my E39. With our great COE system, it is not financially viable to keep the car. Those who know me can attest to the condition of the car, that it may be aged but it is definitely not old. Up to the last minute, I was still doing enhancement works to the car to make sure she runs beautifully like an E39 should. It leaves me no choice but to remove these parts and put them up for sale unless someone wants to buy over the whole car with all the enhancements intact. Swopping may be required for certain parts but in most cases, I would still have the original part with me. Where premium parts are concerned, a certain amount of top-up will be necessary if a swop is involved. I had wanted to post this on the classified section but the list covers every aspects, I thought it would be easier to post it here. Moderators advice is requested if this is not appropriate. If you are keen on any of the parts listed, please contact me at 6581137545 or via PM. The dekitting process will commence on Monday, 6 Dec. I will work on a first come first serve basis to be fair. No reservations will be entertained unless the full amount of the part(s) is paid in full. If swopping is required, I would need the part by 10 Dec latest.Exterior1.

Gabey, you got PM

 

[gabey]

Gents, thanks alot for the overwhelming response. As I've mentioned in the first post, I will adopt a first come first serve policy. Because the same parts are wanted by many people, it will not be fair to reserve it unless you have made full payment for it. I sincerely apologized that due to different locations, this may be a hassle for you to remit payment or even make a trip to my workshop to do the swop. However, I want to assure you that you are getting an honest deal. The car will be commence dekitting on Mon. 6 Dec.. The workshop is located at:

Juzz for Cars
Blk 176 Sin Ming Drive
#03-13/16 Sin Ming Auto Care
Singapore 575721

It should take about 1 week for everything to be removed and replaced with the stock parts. I have taken note of all those who PMed me with your wish list. I will consolidate the lists and keep you informed whenever the part is no longer available. It would be good if you can include your contact no. in your PM. If you wish to remit payment to me in order to secure the part(s), please contact me and I will provide you with my bank account details.

Once again, I sincerely apologize for the troubles you have to go through. I will try my best to make it as convenient as possible but please note:

1. You need to come to my workshop to get the parts. I cannot come to you because the car is not operational.
2. If you're coming to the workshop, please let me know in advance so that I can meet you there.
3. Where external parts may need to be swopped and there is a difference in colour between your parts and mine, we must agree to share some cost in re-spraying your parts to match the colour of my car which is titanium silver.
4. If you need a part but you don't have a part to swop with me, I can try to obtain the part from the scrap yard. The cost of the part from the scrap yard will be borne by you with receipt to prove the price paid.

Thank you very much for your understanding.

The list is updated. Special thanks to all those who took the trouble to meet me. Parting with the E39 is made much easier knowing that these parts will be well taken care of by these dedicated E39 owners. I especially salute those who made a long drive from KL just to pay for the parts.
