1985 524 Turbo Diesel... Looks like it's been sitting for a long time.

Is it me or is $2800 way too high of an asking price for it's current rough non running state?

Talk him down and buy it. You can do it.

That'd be a great daily driver, but I don't think I'd give him much more than $1500 on a good day; that thing needs a lot of work.

At that price you're just paying for the name Haha

[Wschnitz]

I want it!!!!

Buy it. 5sp swap it. BAM! AWESOMENESS.

My thoughts exactly. How many horsepowers do these crank out.

Not mucho, but the torque is great.

Plus it's an old BMW diesel. when's the last time you saw a 524td driving down the street?

Too bad I don't have the cash, I'd have to sell the vert. And its such a nice car...

[mikeedler]

seems like it's about $2400 over priced.

I emailed the guy... it has 409,000 miles! Auto trans that leaks a quart every 4k and engine burns a quart every 4k also... except the headgasket is probably done and the head is probably warped.

It's been sitting for 3 years... but it's all good, cause the owner cranked it over once a year.
