how much is this worth?

[CrispedUp 10+ year member]

well im sick of spending lots o money to repair my car, so im just going to sell it. its a 2001 BMW 525i. now the issues with it are that there is front end damage to the bumper, a leak in the car (leaks whenever it rains), one or more of the pulleys need to be replaced, and the right front window needs fixing (doesnt roll down all the way). i have spent more than $4000 in repairs on it already, and dont feel like spending any more. so how much do you guys think i can get this for?

how many miles? how does the car look inside/outside? is the paint still glossy? any scratches? waht about the interior? other than the leak is the interior clean?

oh, and do you have reciepts for all the repairs? or if you do the repairs yourself, do you keep part reciepts and a log off all the maintenance?

Its a BMW, there not the most reliable. I have a friend with a newer X5 and its got windows that wont work, bad ball joints, and a A/C problem. I have another friend with a 5 series with the window problem to and a couple other issues.

Alright then how about they aren't the most consistently reliable cars. Some are and some aren't. Mostly aren't tho

adding up 4k worth of repairs on a BMW isnt that hard.

People always think if they can afford the payments they can afford the car, until they see repair bills

I dont think he was talking about cost of repair, but more about all the damages/issues

He probably can afford the car but he is just talking about how much he put into it

I say about tree fiddy.

I feel your pain man. My first car was an 89 525i. That thing was a tank. Solid build all around until some shit goes wrong. The wire set for mine was 200. And everybody is scared to work on it. Don't know about the 2000 models.

I would love a nice 540i 6speed //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif It sounds like you might beat on it (crashed bumper) the window could happen to any car I have an 01' Nissan with a window problem, leaks are a seal somewhere, should be very easy to fix and I dunno about pullys or how they need fixed.

4k on a BMW is like a dealer oil change and brake job //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif
