WTB: E39 M5 - Will travel anywhere in continental US (Midwest preferred)

[Joe G]

I know this might be a long shot, but r3v never surprises me...

Looking for the following:

Model years: 2001-2003 (will consider 2000 for the right car)

Color: White, Green, Grey, Black, Blue, Green, Silver

Interior: Carmel, Black, Black/Grey, Black/Red (with the right car)

Mileage: <150K is a must.

History: 3 owners or less preferred, will consider more for a car with good records - NO accidents, even if the title is clean. Looking for original paint car.

Maintenance: Records are a MUST - looking for a well sorted and cared for car, no stories, no rust, no deferred maintenance. Must be open to a PPI.

Price: ~$20K (a little flexible here, expecting 85K - 120K mile cars)

I'm looking for a very well sorted and cared for car, but not necessarily a garage queen. I plan to DD this car, so I am putting thorough maintenance and preventative items over things like perfect paint (I am okay with a few dings, rock chips, etc.).

I am in Kansas City, but I will travel for the right car, or have it shipped assuming the seller is willing.

A PPI is must, so if you aren't open to one, please don't waste our time.

Thanks in advance!

at the 20k price range, i genuinely think you shouldnt settle for anything over 90k miles, and nothing under 2001.

[parkerbink]

Slightly over 150k but much less than 20k

Agreed.

I sold my '01 with 105k, 9.5/10 cosmetic condition, 9.5" style 65's all around with almost new PSS, and recent rod bearing replacement for $16.5k.

Turned around an bought 190k 2000 with long term owner and track focused upgrades (Stoptech BBK, Zionsville Radiator, etc) for sub $10k. They are amazing cars for the money, let me know if you have any questions or need one checked out down here.

The car you sold sounds like the car I want to buy.

Will definitely let you know if I need eyes on a car in GA - really appreciate the offer!

Probably goes without saying, but M5 board always has one or two stunning beauties for sale. With a 20k budget I am sure you will find a head turner.

Whatever you get, be sure to share with R3v! I'll have an E39 M5 myself here soon as well.

I'm all over M5board, but I can't PM, post, etc. Very annoying considering I 'registered' 2 weeks ago.

I will definitely post all the details once I find one!!

I wonder if my registration still works?.. Are you looking at something now that you cant connect with them? PM me, maybe we can get you connected

edit: just tried it and it doesnt work... Its been ~5 years so they probably killed my profile

[Joe G]

Simon,

I appreciate the offer! I reached out to an E39 buddy to do some PMing for me.

Still annoying - I've been a member on Rennlist for over a year and still can't post...

[MR E30 325is]

I had a very very long wait with M5Boards as far as being 'accepted' officially.

Took about 5 months for them to finally certify my profile.

Very tedious.

[Joe G]

^sweet jesus. That is unreal. Reminds me of that lesser e30 forum...

[parkerbink]

They banned me for life for calmly and in an adult fashion disagreeing with the king of the site (don't remember his screen name this was at least 6 years ago)

[Joe G]

That's sh*tty.

What really annoys me is when people sell a car on a forum, but don't provide ANY way to contact them if you're not a forum member with PM and posting privileges. Why would you willingly shrink your pool of prospective buyers by so much?

rant over. Time to find an M5.

This seems to have your name on it:
