anal, then wipe the tip across their upper lip, leaving a "mustache"

naw maybe a "dirty Sanchez"

Dirty Sanchez?

I'd rather have the rusty trombone...

What's a Dirty Sanchez anyway?

[SpecM]

Get it, I'd rock an e39 for 3k

Is a rusty trombone included in this transaction?

[der affe]

extended warranty/service contract that is transferable come with the car?

they don't cover everything but can help (if they are a good one) when shit craps out on you.

[DCColegrove]

I work on a lot of these at the shop...

Don't get me wrong they are good cars...

Just a lot of shit to break on them.

3 grand for a 2001 525i? Grab it.

[der affe]

DO IT!

road trip ;)

[eurohick.]

for three gees you really cant go wrong. e39s in that price range are usually early shitheaps.

Why warm it up though, that is not needed. I don't let it idle for more than 30 seconds before driving the car.

He's weird about it. It wont even be all that cold out btu he still does it, just turns the leather seats on to keep me from complaining. lol. Come to think of it, I've know quite a few car warmer-upper people. I used to do it in my old GTI only cause the lifters were loud as hell when cold.

True about the tranny. They don't last that long. Sounds like he keeps up with all the maintainence but still worrysome. Not that big of a deal though if the car is 3 grand. A rebuilt tranny plus the 3K for the car and not having to drive a Montero seems worth it for me.

[femme325is]

original tranny? if so, it is likely a ticking timebomb

I'm sure it is original. Even if it had to be replaced, wouldn't it still be a decent deal? My dad owns a shop so I wouldn't be paying for labor, but I don't know what those trannys run.

[e34john]

I would go for it. Really nice price and the facelift E39s are not that bad looking of a car.
