Re: Should I Buy? Jan 07 523i

u r rite Henry! in terms of prc level/guide to buy from so call "friend"...




Netdreamer, its abt YOU. do u need it? or u want it?
need - means can do without unless price is damn gud like $85 (dealer recent price offer level)
want it - means tis 523 is a beauty to you, n has all sorts of mods that you like.

I was like you 4 mths back...n i was scouting ard for a good deal, with dealers n prvt owners alike.
Quoted $115k Jan/07, next day, sms me say offer $110k :yikess:
n yr friend is old model, not the XLI model which is higher spec like 190bhp compare to 177bhp.

good luck to you.
My word of advise; if can afford, buy it.
But dont come ard here...as there r many "poison" ard...it will burn a big hole to yr pocket very soon.

85K, wow ... that is low. Dealers are really something.

Re: Should I Buy? Jan 07 523i

Thanks. Was thinking that 100K will be better. But was informed that the new car dealer (don't want to mention name) is offering 110k trade-in. Check sgcarmart, there is a XL on sale @ 117k, thus thot 110K is a very good pricefor trade-in. Need to think think think. More want than needs

cant compare with new car trade in bc of overtrade and margin is higher for profit. so if your friend really buying a new car then its a fair price but unfortunately not for you as you prob can get better priced units. buy a XL one its better esp for future resale.

A friend is thinking of upgrading and asked me whether I am interested in the Jan 07 523i with only 30,000 km. Free servicing (don't know whether transferrable?) included. Great condition, accident free. Asking for $110k. Should I buy? Any advice is welcomed. Cheers and Happy Lunar New Year to all.

See Used BMW 523I XL Car for Sale from Singapore, GE Money Pte Ltd c/o HNH International - sgCarMart BMW 523 for auction. It is registered in 11/07 and indicative price is 110k and mileage is also around 30k.

You still have 1 more day to bid. Maybe you try to bid at 90k or less?

All the best in your car search.

Re: Should I Buy? Jan 07 523i

Thanks for the info. Will pop by tomorrow to take a look. May bid if condition is good. For such vehicle, my guess is that some $$ need to be spent to bring it up to "new" condition Cheers.

Yes, saw it. Some scratches, a small dent at the boot. But most importantly, it does not seem like a PML car and the aircon is not working. Decided agt bidding. Cheers.
