Mom's "new" 750i

[nicwes]

My dad bought this for my mom

The images does not do it justice. It is in immaculate condition with 126 000km.

He traded her E90 320i with 200 000km+ in. It is an absolute pleasure to drive. All the bells ans whistles with night vision!

Can I marry your dad?

Nice big car.
Congrats to your Mom

You should call her "The Ex Wife"

Because, when something breaks its going to cost your dad as much as an ex wife. :tiptoe:

Congrats with the purchase tho, hope you have many trouble free miles!

It's a facelift E65. Not as problematic as the pre-facelift.

Thank you! My dad has learnt with previous 7's. He got an extensive after market warranty. I believe they are well covered IF something goes wrong

It is actually the cost of the parts/repairs of these cars that scare most people off, especially those who is not good at DIY. You need to have a good warranty, or be able to afford it, if a big item goes.

Hence these go for such silly prices second hand. Must suck to buy one new, and then trade it in after 2-3 years. Then again, if you can afford one of these babies new, depreciation is of no concern to you.

Thing is these are at the bottom end of its depreciation curve.

You could actually buy one of these, and drive it for 2 years and sell it for the same price..

They have their issues, but that motor and gearbox is solid.... The whole car is solid.

Instantly, off the bat.

Front shocks... KAK expensive
Radio can and will break
Logic 7 will give shit
boot lid actuator will break
door support will need to be replaced

BUT......
All audio issues can be sorted out with an aftermarket at very little money
boot actuator you fix or deal with.

EVERYTHING else on this car is rock solid...
For the price, this is probably the best value for money you will ever get.

My dad got the best deal I have ever heard of. Did the deal, traded the E90, final figure was R130 000 for the car. He was sooo chuffed with himself

Nope that's right...

Maybe a bit on the expensive side, but with the km, it is right,

I bought a 750 for 90k, it needed work, but was a bargain.

If you paid 130k with the mileage and excellent condition, you did well, it was a fair deal.

And if you consider that 130k is what you pay for a damm yaris nowadays, probably the best investment ever. Chris Bangle FTMFW

My point exactly! Buy a little car, maybe get aircon and more than 1 airbag, or go second hand and buy a proper car with everything and more that you'll ever need..
