Please read carefully. There is a full description of the car. If you would like more information, please feel free to ask any questions. The car is currently licensed, and drivable, but will need considerable work. It is sold as is and where is with a clear title. We reserve the right to end this auction early, as it is listed for sale in other locations. One owner car from new, always serviced at the dealership (comes with a big fat file folder of Parkview BMW dealership receipts). Clean leather interior, non-smoking and pet free. Executive driven from new, it was bought in July of 1998 by a 69 year old C.E.O. and garage kept. In the fall of 2017, while in for a service the advisor suggested it time to do a great deal of refurbishment or to buy a new car. With the new car purchased, the car was sent for the first time to get a second opinion, and was not traded in. What follows is the list of recommended repairs, as well as a very rough estimate provided by both inspections. There are no warning lights illuminated on the dashboard.
