Everything aside, that interior looks SERIOUSLY dated. Looks like it was made in 1989 and has been driven by fat people. ---

That car looks and sounds like it’s in rough condition. The interior of these cars aren’t dated that just looks like someone left it sitting out in the desert for the majority of it’s life. ---

Its beaten. For the cash you’d have to put into it, you’d be better off buying a nicer one with less miles on the motor. ---

Why pay that much when you could buy a well maintained one for sub 15K? Half the miles as well. ---

LOL No fucking way are you going to find a nice 50k M5 for $15k You find it and ill buy it just to have a spare. Also has nobody noticed the fact that this pos has a SALVAGED title. Aside from how shitty it is overall it even has the seal of approval HAHAHAHA. ---

I wouldn’t even bother investing to make it nice. Your already balling on a budget, why bother fixing it? Offer 9K and drift it into shit, w.e. Though if you wanted to buy this and make a nice car out of it, it would not be worth it. :lol: at getting a low mileage M5 for 15K.

There is one in Seattle for 10.5k that has a clear title and only minor things wrong like it kills the battery overnight which is prob the FSU and needs a new hood. Now that car could be fixed and sold for 15k easy.

Any M5 could cost you plenty in repairs, don’t think because you paid someone more money the car won’t need repairs. That would be foolish. That being said I still wouldn’t buy that one for more than $7000. lol ---

> [@Blue Eyed Devil](#): > > ^I hear you but when you buy a 10 year old high end car you may have some big bills. Just sayin… I would not recommend anyone to own this car unless you are doing the work yourself on it. The parts are not all that expensive. More then most cars but not high enough that it is a huge deal. However shops that work on them are hard to find and charge a fortune. If you check my thread it has a HUGE list of maint and aftermarket parts. Total for everything was under 2k including the aftermarket goodies. ---

The only gripe i have with the m5 is price on brakes, which is still getting cheaper by the day. Everything else is just a affordable as any other car, as long as your turning your own wrenches. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/e39-m5-for-10k/69694.md?page=2)
