You are bidding on a 1985 BMW 524TD 4-door Sedan.Although considered to be the first modern and relatively quiet diesel automobile,only 1600 were sold in the United States when offered in 1985 & 1986.The car is Alpine white with a black vinyl interior.It has all of the standard power features of the E28 series, and they all work except for the sunroof and the headrest adjustment (they never work).The sunroof has some rust on the edge from being parked close to the ocean, and needs repair or replacement.It is a 100% California car from Los Angeles, then Monterey Bay, and recently the San Francisco Bay Area.It recently overheated, and blew out the coolant.It starts and runs, but cannot be driven any distance.My mechanic and others diagnose it as a common head gasket failure.Since I have owned it, I have had the following repairs and maintenance performed, and have most of the service records:Valve adjustment, replace cracked valve cover, replace cooling hoses and connectors, rebuild entire air conditioning system including compressor and condenser, replace all belts, drain and refill transmission fluid,repair door locks and windows as needed, and install custom carpeted floor mats.This is a car that is worth restoring, it has been a pleasure to drive, but like any 28 year old car, it needs continued repairs and maintenance.In good running condition, I estimate it to be worth at least $3000.Needing major engine work, I am offering it for $1500 or best offer.
