As above really, got the chance of one, I reckon at a not bad price.

 

3.0, 24v, 205 PS, big luxo-barg for the motorway.

 

Just fancy something different.

 

Any thoughts or experiences would be appreciated.

 

Look like fun to drive on the motorway, but would it be good at MPG?

What's the not bad price?

£500??

 

Id just buy a 5 or 7 series.... Faster, more economical and better looking lol

Not too much of an concern fortunately...

Not far off. Around 800 Euro with 2 years TUV...

Yeah, but common as muck, and waaaaay more expensive for a tidy example round these parts..

 

Not too sure about better looking either...Depends on what you like.

I like it, looks like a cross between a galant and a Toyota chaser. Defo "looks" like it's worth £500.

Ah! Your in germany, that would make more sense I did wonder why it was LHD :)

 

I'd have thought 5/7's were crunching underfoot for £3.50 a piece over there though!

Z related?

Yes matey, that's the point - they are the Mondeo of Germany, used to aspire to a 5 before I left the UK. Now they are everywhere, but mostly nails, the Germans drive them to death, so plenty of chaff, and one in decent nick is usually bang out of order price wise. Mental money, compared to what we know off the Autotrader.

:offtopic:No. Simple mistake. Mods, please move if convenient. I inadvertently left OCD mode off and accidentally posted in the wrong section. Off to do me Hail Mary's now........

Yeah I can imagine they are popular, I did expect them to be cheap and well looked after though! Still nice to be different eh.... try and find a Renault Safrane or a Lincoln town car hehe slightly ironic... reverse invading down the Autobahn!

Popular? - Yes

 

Looked after? - Not a chance. Tight MF's the lot of em. Won't spent a cent unless the need to.

 

Especially where I am, BMW being from round these parts. Its like a badge of honor or something. Buyers are very regional, very loyal to whatever comes from their State.

 

I used to be shocked at the condition of some of the motors on the roads here (I am in the trade) but after living here so long, have decided that I much prefer going through TUV every 2 years instead of MOT annually. Nowhere near as strict or ripoff orientated.

your not wrong about it being differant :lol:

The front has a 'beemer' look about it...maybe the old 6 series?
