2003 BMW
530i
running well
no accidents
no major problems
clear title
drive it home!
(more pictures in my photobucket album (here) click right away on the first image that comes up so you don't have to deal with annoying adds)
front tires are a couple of months old
rear tires are 1+ year old, but they have good thread and good traction
includes a full size spare tire with all necessary tools to change the tire.
All systems (including electronics, transmission, brakes, AC, heating, power seats, heated seats, power windows, sunroof, etc..) work well.
Most recent repairs/maintenance:
* New rear brakes, oct 2016
* Oil change, Oct. 2016
* New cam-shaft position sensor (was causing the car to sputter), Sept. 2016
* New thermostat sensor assembly, sept. 2016
* New rear sway bar links, sept 2016
* All 4 tires balanced, sept 2016
* new radiator + lines flushed, spring 2016
* Tune up, winter 2016
* New front left tie rod/ball joint + wheel alignment, winter 2016
* front brake pads, sometime in 2015 or 2014...same with battery....they are still good.
* fixed pixel problem with radio, feb. 2013
* new alternator, just before I bought the car, fall 2012
Known cosmetic issues:
* Usual dings and scratches from other cars in parking lots (can't avoid those people ugh!)
* One person hit the rear bumper and left an imprint of their plate and bolts...can be easily covered up with epoxy (see picture with arrow)
* Pixel problem with instrument cluster (very common problem, DYI fixes on the web)
* Small water damage to the lower part driver's side mirror (see picture, it doesn't affect functionality)
* Small damage below the left rear brake light (see picture with arrow)
Known mechanical problems:
* small oil leak from oil pan...it's been going on for a while, just top it off with more oil when necessary (you'll get a "low oil" message), putting a bottle of "Lucas Stop Leak" makes it last until next oil change
Minor annoyances:
* small amount of water (like half a cup) leaks-in on the rear floor (both sides) when it rains really (really) hard (very common problem with the rubber seal around the doors...usually just dries overnight...DIY fixes online)
* the glove box lock is broken. I have all the parts to fix it, but I chose to not install a new lock since I like that there's a trick to open it that not everyone knows and it makes it more secure. I will show you when you pick up and will include the new lock with the car in case you decide to install it.
* the instrument cluster must have a loose wire, because sometimes the display of mileage or external temp will not show. I noticed that you can tap on the console and it will come back...if you're planning on fixing the pixel issue mentioned above then that will take care of it too, otherwise it's just cosmetic and doesn't affect functionality. All gauges and system messages are ok and work 100% of the time.
That's all I can remember.
I purchased this car 4 years ago with under 60,000 miles in it...the previous owner was an older man that just kept it in the garage and didn't use it much for 9 years. I've put another 70,000 in it mainly by commuting to work everyday and kept it in my garage every night. It's a good, strong and safe car that will hopefully last many years in someone else's caring hands.
I am selling this car "AS-IS" without warranty neither expressed nor implied.
