[QUOTE="alantiong, post: 464325, member: 19754"] oh yehs oh yes.. i think comign to the TT is a good idea... LOL.. racun kau kau!! on a serious note, whichever car more than 10 years.. you will spend a fortune.. to restore it to its glory. Please be reminded this is a E38.. a pinnacle of its era... car made for statesman.. so it is really not for the faint of heart.. i have got mind under 50K KM.. yes very low milage.. so little things to do.. and it still cost me around 15K and all for small things.. plus a AC compressor.. So for a not so good looking ones... i would say easily 20K and above.... and not to forget paint job (4-5K), body Kit 2-3K, facelift HID and eye liners.. 1.5K, rear clear lights Rm800, tint RM1500, Upholstery 4-5K.. hang on.. hang on... let me cut and paste something.. 1. Radiator & the hose - 1600 with hoses & expansion tank 2. Catalyst Converter - too much!! 3. Brake Disc - all round disc & pads.. Rm1800 stay awa from ATE 4. Dead Pixels on the display cluster and radio display Rm600 6. Test all electronic making sure it works - pain in the arse.. be patient.. not much money but lots of heart ache 7. Test the electric chair and memory seat feature - should not be big problem.. mostly cable issue.. can DIY (few teh tarik) 8. Make sure the speedometer is working - Can be expensive to repair if ABS faulty (each sensors around rm280) 9. Make sure the suspension is ok _ areally good one.. if all are gone.. go for titan.. RM3200... i think.. 10. Ask when the parts replaced:- Water Pump if your car is over 100K.. i wont think twice to change it.. RM800 11. Vanos Seals.. 12. I think we are at around 25K at this point...
