I am about to go look at a 95 850 T5 and was wondering if theres anything specific i should look for when inspecting and driving this car.

Heres a run down of whats done etc.

300k miles engine rebuilt at 200k

IPD chip stage 1

aftermarket intake exhaust

s70 injectors

new brakes and rotors

timing belt done 30k ago

asking $2750, what do you guys think?

 

300K is a lot of miles. Not sure I would spend $2750 on one with that many miles. How well it was taken care of if what is important. But even well take care of, that is a lot of miles though. You can find them with lower mileage for sure.

 

Seems like a lot of miles yes, but if you going to get her to beat on... whats it matter... Your going to be using it as a money pit anyways...

now if your going to get her and drive her nice... then i would worry about miles...

 

Odometer still working...thats an amazing feat within itself!! Seriously thats a lot of miles for that kind of money! We have some in GA with only around 117,000 going for less money. I think he is trying to sell it based on modifications done to the car and you and I both know you can not recoupe money on these items. If it was $1,600 to $1,900 then maybe but still it's probably be ran pretty hard.

 

The mods he has done to it would actually scare me away from it. Sounds like somebody who would drive it real hard. Mods do NOT increase the value of a car.

 

ok thanks guys, so you think its just priced too high?

 

yup...

and like jim said... probably beat on it...

 

Throw a price of $1850-$1900 at him and see what he say's. Most of the timethey will say no but at least you will know where you stand!

 

yeah he definitely wasnt having that, thanks for the advice guys, im going to pass and looks elsewhere

 

Matt there is a ton of them out there if you look for one. You'll find one eventually that will be right for you and in your price range. I say keep looking
