5 Day Listing Only. Ends Monday, December 1, 7:00pm EST, 4:00pm PST. VIN does not register on eBay but is found below as a pic showing VIN stamped onto frame. The car's VIN is not recognized as the vehicle was never intended to be sold in the US market. Selling a very rare in the USA 1997 BMW 525tds with about 113k miles. This car was exported to Canada from Germany and again exported from Canada to United States. I bought the car already in the US and so therefore comes with a US title easily transferable to any state, including California due to a exemption on diesels of this year and older. The car is mechanically in perfect condition. Clutch is near perfect. Engine does not leak fluids or smoke. AC blows cold. I would not hesitate to drive the car cross country on a moments notice. Absolutely nothing needs to be done. Cosmetically, the car looks to be in excellent condition and the pics do a wonderful job of displaying this. While no car is completely rust free, this one is as good as it gets. A couple unique extra's...... this car does have the euro OEM trailer hitch installed under rear bumper. Also, this car does have the rear backup warning chime indicating when the car is about to hit an object behind it. And finally, this BMW also has the rain sensing wipers, a rare option in '97. Just arrived to Ohio from a cross country trip in this car from the west coast. Trip was trouble free. Fuel economy averaged 34 at 80mph. Front tires are nearly new but I will put new tires on the rear. Also, snow tires are available on steel rims for an additional $400. Buyer will receive a clear Ohio title without any restrictions. I bought the car already in the US, so I do not have any import paperwork. Finally, I do drive the vehicle somewhat, so mileage may increase slightly during the auction. I'm a collector of rare, exotic, and unique cars and have sold many on eBay but to clarify, I'm not a dealer. The car is located on Mercer Island, WA. I will show the car and allow test drives but please contact me first. I travel extensively and need a couple days notice if coming over. Can provide free airport transportation from SEA. Delivery is available but contact me first before bidding to get an estimate. Car must be paid in full within 72 hours. Accepted forms of payment are cash (in person of course) and wire transfer only. I do not accept paypal (although you do need an account to bid on the car). eBay messages also come straight to my Smart phone, so I can respond very quickly.In addition, I can be reached via text/voice @ (925) 30-SMART (Rob) On Nov-30-14 at 14:37:27 PST, seller added the following information: Yesterday had Cain BMW of North Canton (Ohio) install 4 new tires instead of the 2 that were originally planned. So now new owner will receive the car with all new rubber. Below are some pics I took today. Any fluids under the car were a result of the car just being washed and still drip drying. The pic below illustrates what the winter tires on rims look like (in this case the rear wheels). I have a set of 4 sold separately for $400. Tread on them should last at least 2 seasons if not more.
