Toecutter Posted April 14, 2010 Author Share Posted April 14, 2010 Hi Guys, Not going to rush into buying another Z but rather savour the hunt. I've got some final bits and pieces to finish around the house ie drive way and gardening but there will be plenty of Z's to look at. I reckon once you got cash ready to go it's easy to beat the tyre kickers. Cheers, Sulio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
furrybarry Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Hi Guys, Not going to rush into buying another Z but rather savour the hunt. A basketcase Z is still a lot cheaper than the equivalent Fuhrer-rmobile. http://www.carpoint.com.au/all-cars/private/details.aspx?R=7341445 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toecutter Posted April 29, 2010 Author Share Posted April 29, 2010 yer thats been for sale for ages. I'm all over the place, the flavour of the week atm is looking for a new family car. The second half is happy with her little 306 Pug but I like the older 5 series bimmers, I find her Peugot so cramped with the baby gear in it.

RBZ 260 Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 i found that 5 series loose so much value that is not funny. 3 series hold their price bit better. thats if u care for that. im still shocked i sold my 93 for 6k. had a 318i nice car but since that lost respect in it. they do have few flaws that i though shouldnt exist with bmw. maybe it was just my car. alternator changed 3 times since its life WTF. my nissan still on the original one. if ever going to buy one again it be the M badge.

Toecutter Posted April 30, 2010 Author Share Posted April 30, 2010 Thats the good thing about the 5 series, they have already dropped so you can get a pretty nice one for low dollars, all the depreciation has already happened. This 2001 M5 for instance, I think they were over $100,000 when they cam out. Now this one is on e-bay as but it now for $22K and starting bid of $19K! Pretty good buying assuming the motors not clapped out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xa1973 Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 +1 $100k new .......> $19k to $25k .... Hate to say it.... better off with a commodore / falcon / camry with the new family Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddii Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 There's no such thing as 535i M5, maybe 535i M sport I'd suggest get an E39 M5, they're pretty cheap nowadays. Or if you have the coins, then my pick would be a second hand E60 M5. It'll be the last high revving V10 Beemer you'll own they're not making v10 engines no more you must hear it on full throttle arrrgh!!
