Anyone looking for a BMW 524td?

I drove this car yesterday. It is actually pretty nice and about 98% rust free. Would make an excellent driver. It has an exhaust leak which is apparently in the area of the manifold but I do not know if it is the manifold itself that is cracked/warped or the gasket which has failed. I know getting parts for the 524td can be a problem so I am not particularly interested in taking it on.

Otherwise most everything seemed to check out. The brakes squeeked so maybe it has some brake work to come too. I have no association with the seller but figured since the car is probably not for me I'd post it here and if anyone is interested they can follow up themselves. It is a 2 owner car and everything seems to work (including heat and A/C). Driver's seat bolster is worn out but otherwise the interior was pretty nice.

Good luck.

Great car, lots of fun. Good price.

I'd love one of those but if it broke, I'd never get it fixed for lack of parts.

Buy a turbodiesel Lincoln for a parts car.

Or a Vixen.

Early Vixen, with the pop-top and BMW/5-speed. The later one with the GM V-6 and no pop-top is IMO not nearly as cool.
