How much money would the car lose of its value in the space of a year?

I was gonna keep it, then I realised im poor and the 4.5k or so its worth I could spend on the Chaser, but it looks that smart I find it hard to let go

Its got 12months T+T etc at mo, so I got no worries with it for a while, but I dunno, 4.5k in my pocket is nice, thats about 2years wages to me

Im guessing in a year or two the price will go down on E39s so much that I can pick one up for nowt when I got a few more quid spare? Really like em so would deffo want one again, even if I cashed this one in to mod the Chaser.

Doubt it will lose a grand in the next year.

James

looks tidy!

what is it? [and don't say a 5 series estate! ]

Stavros

325TDS with 640ci wheels (255s on the back, etc), and yeah, its mint.

If itd not even lose a grand i might keep it, hmm.

bud-weis

that's really only worth £4.5k??

that's a lot of car for your money!! looks like it would cost much much more!

Stavros

Yeah, early E39 so yeah only about 4.5k, less if it was a petrol one.

Looks LOADS more tho dont it, even more so in the flesh, shows what a few well chosen mods can do eh!
Hence why im so tempted to keep it really, Champagne lifestyle on a White Lightning budget, bit like Phil does with his cheap Ferrari etc etc

But 4.5k is a whole lot of cash for me, and would be mint to get the Chaser exactly how I wanted it.

Mark B

Whats needing done to the chaser for 4.5k?

You got a arrival date for it yet?

James

i reckon if you put that up for 5.5 today it would be sold by the weekend!

Is beardy now your best friend?

Stavros

Nothing "needs" doing, its awesome and amazing spec.

But I want to do some things, mega cage, getting the safety stuff to Eurodrift/EDC spec, etc etc, as well as a few trick bits n pieces too, as wanna make it all lovely.

Sept 11th it will be here. Lets hope of no terrorist attacks using giant container ships

Stavros

I honestly dont. Not looking at Autotrader prices etc.
Looks awesome, but its only a set of rims, lowered, clear side repeaters etc.

Not with that dress sense

The people who think that a bmw with tinted windows looks "phat" arent the people buying diesel estate cars generally, so I agree with you that it wont fetch mega money.

Nice looking car

HELL of a lot of car for £4.5k!

Let me know if you want to sell, think I know someone who would want that.... minus the tints!

bud-weis

get the boost upped by Stu...weld the diff and go drifting in the BM

Stavros

Tints or not, looking at the prices, its a 4.5k car i reckon, tho hard to be sure, as obv it looks cooler than most in a nice colour, nice wheels, lowered, etc.

Porkie

its a 525 by the way numbnuts

Stavros

Yes, that is true

Coldo

Looks the part.

End of the day, you could spend the 4.5k on the chaser... but it wont add much value to it, really? Effectively loosing the 4.5k anyway?

Id keep the bimmer and get the chaser as you want it over time.

Paul Eggleton

Yus, another convert

Stavros

Was talking to one of the ex-Total BMW guys at lunch and he cant sell his BMW for love nor money either, even at way less than what its worth.

My mate just got a 04 plate M-specced up 320D coupe for about 4k less than usual asking price too, so seems like fuck all is selling.

So maybe I am best of keeping it...

How have you aquired it anyway?

Stavros

TWOCing

No, not really, swapped it for various other junk I have (i have lots of junk, not just cars ).

Gra

thats a nice one, would deffo be interested if i could get my RS in gear and shitf the golf tints for me would be a god send, with kids in the back it would block the sun out a bit,

if i get the golf ready and sold i will give you a shout

foreigneRS

not really - for kids you really want climate control to keep them from getting hot and irritated

Stavros

Got climate control mate Goes VERY cold too.

As well as late spec front and rear lights, Pioneer in-dash TV/DVD/SAT-NAV/MP3 shit, Pioneer speakers inc roof mounted rear speakers, Alpine 5 channel amp, Sony Xplod 12" sub, etc etc etc, though looks pretty stock inside.

Nice car, just im too poor to have nice cars

foreigneRS

sounds proper bo. bmw a/c is very good

Rhys

In 5 series it is, but i found in my 330 i had and mates a/c wasnt as good as 5 series and my Honda is better

Steve the TDS wont lose much imop however if you start messing about with it, then i would say yes it would as the market for modded 5 series estates is erm very small to nearly zero. Leave is std and will be fine mod it and will lose the money you put in and resale value imo.

How many miles has it done? History etc?


Whos this guy who can get cheaper BMW? he got anymore going?

Stavros

I wont be modding it at all, its had a few subtle stuff done to make it nicer than your average 5 series, and thats how its staying.
All id be tempted to do is put full leather in it, as its got all the options barring leather at mo (inc gay wood trim etc).

Its got 170k on it, not low, but not a huge amount for one of them really.

FPMSL @ Greek Boy taking the piss out of me and comparing his shit diesel BMW with my Ferrari in terms of champers taste 4.5k compared to 25k...not to mention my 15k XKR...oh and the 10k's worth of motorbikes...and really not to mention my 2 vans to a value of 7k..and not to mention 20k in the pot as spare cash to get another "has been" supercar


...not wishing to brag though,i just had to put white lightning boy in his place

Paddy

pah you won't lose fuck all on that in a year compared to one that's a couple of years old, it's done it's money already.

Look at that lad on here who keeps banging on about his dads coupe. I bet he'd like to just lose the £4.5k yours owes you in a year! And that's not including the 17.5 % he lost as soon as he took it out the showroom.

Keep it.

Rick

Id have a saloon, but not estate. Lot of car for money as said though. Is this to replace ur mondy daily hack? And, if something goes wrong, is it going to be pricey?

aduz

phil you have fook all to brag about though

i wouldnt give you 50 quid for the whole lot including your house and mrs

James
