Hi,
I've been looking at these cars for a while and getting close to buying.
(IF I’ve posted this in the wrong place, please correct and let me know…)
Most are in Germany, but as I'll import to Spain I’ll get charged for the privilege - last quote was around 5000 euros.
Looking here for local cars is proving tricky, prices are much higher than most other European countries (for cars in general) - guess having scratches/dents/no maintenance history increases the value? However, more chance of finding cars with less rust.
I know it's not easy to judge a car by it's pictures, maybe someone on here will be able to point out good/bad points?
1. DE 3.0 Blue/Gold with broken A/C, all original – but was sitting around in storage for 20 years. Brake lines/rubber hoses/etc. replaced when put back on the road. Also, was a 3.0, but engine died and owners paid for new 2.5 engine instead due to the Oil Crisis years back. 20000 EUROs
2. DE 2.5 cs Red – 1975 – looks nice due to recent repaint (2013), has 5 speed box (fitted 2013) – not sure what’s hidden under paint, owner says it was good, no rust work done, just old faded paint. 17000 EUROs
3. NL 3.0 Silver – Auto, Dutch car with a restoration done in 1999, still looks good apparently. 18500 EUROs
4. ES 3.0 White – Spanish car, with A/C which is needed – not too much info, but looking at this car next week. 19000 EUROs
5. DE 3.0 Ice Blue – lots of pictures here, looks like it’s not hiding much? 20000 EUROs
I think they are all overpriced but will see what happens to the price when I go to view with cash…
A/C is important– it gets hot where I live.
From my research, no one in the UK specialises in Aftermarket Air Con.
I know the US has much better support for old cars, although mostly Ford/Chevy/Dodge etc. – anyone know of a company who could supply parts to retrofit A/C in an e9?
Thanks for any info offered up.
