First of all, i am not from singapore. Im from Brunei. It's because we dont have a local BMW forum or group here so i decided to register and join this club..

I am about to buy a 2/1/2 year old BMW 525i, local 12k mileage only.. selling for 54k bn dollar.. Is it worth it? New bmw 3 series selling for $69800 for 320i luxury, diesel and sport.. ermm still wonder should i get the 2nd hand bmw 525i or New 2012 320i! pls advice


ALot of my friend kept telling me to buy the 2nd hand Lexus GS300. V6 engine much faster.. 8k cheaper.. but then i still want the bmw 525i.... i know i am not in the right forum to compare but i decided the 525i as its only 12k mileage.. wooooo

I went and see sgcarmart.com and saw bmw in sg is charged 1.8k for road tax? OMG... it's like 52 dollar here ............... sg government really know how to chop pork chop!!!

Re: Resale E60 is so hot now

KV Chia, if my 老花眼 didn't fail me, that is a pre-LCI, which means it is 2007 and before, so car can't be 2.5 years old. Check again!
 
Re: Resale E60 is so hot now

wah full tank of petrol...dealer so generous

NB I got mine, whether used or new..at less than 1/4 tank!
 
Re: Resale E60 is so hot now

It a pre-LCI 525i. In Sg last batch should be early 07 car leh. This is import used car in Brunei?
 
Re: Resale E60 is so hot now

Hi guys, i just found out that the dealer sort of cheated on one..

This is an import car from singapore. The make is 2006. However, the problem is not in singapore. It is when
the car is imported here and the lady owner actually reset the mileage. No history of the used in singaproe in the blue card. It's just stamped, one owner used 2/1/2 years thats it. No one even the dealer is able to track the total mileage/ number of owners etc.. (Sg + Bn)

Thanks guys. I also suspected something is fishy. We bruneians only important singapore cars because japanese car had been banned for resetting mileage/ reducing mileage and as well the recent tsunami incident.

Now my option is:-

1) CLOSE my eyes. and take the car. the car is actually VERY new.. interior + exterior.. just disappointingly the HP is not the LCI but the pre-lci . No pushto start and no sunroof.. how sad.. Acceleration definetly will loose to any is250/300 or gs 250/300.


2) Take a brand new BMW 320i Sport, luxury or sedan cause it's only 69800. 4.5% per annum interest.. Less maintenace cost as well cause it's brand new. My second hand Bmw 525i is already 54k... add 15k lor ... OR take lexus is300 which cost 65k

3) Alternately take another model of car and log off from this forum.. sounds pretty bad.... not my ideal way of thinking

I'm still stuck with my toyota vios then.. arggg.. so sad
 
Re: Resale E60 is so hot now

Brand new 320 (new model too!) with warranty for 15k more vs a > 6 years old 525 with unknown mileage... No brainer isn't it? Don't forget the repair and replacement costs for the 6 year old car.
 
Re: Resale E60 is so hot now

Yeah! you are right! buy 320i Sport .. no need worry about those tick tick tak tak sound... GREAT! BMW here i come.. -.- oh man..
too much loan.. everyday eat maggee mee

Re: Resale E60 is so hot now

The dealer kept saying the lady owner in Brunei bought tr car first hand at Singapore while the mileage was 0 and never reset.

1. Who is so dumb to buy a 2004-2006 model all the way from Singapore in the year 2009. Isn't car in Brunei cheaper?

Guys just wanna check. What is the possibility of a lady owner to reset the mileage on a e60?
Is it possible?

Pls advice.

Regards
 
Re: Resale E60 is so hot now

Most likely is the agent who reset the mileage or the dealer here who exported the car from here did it.
