AUTO DEALER. I AM A ONE MAN OPERATION. I DEAL MOSTLY IN OLDER EUROPEAN AND AMERICAN CLASSICS. I HAVE BEEN IN BUSINESS OVER 20 YEARS , I AM A VERY ANAL PICKY AND SMART BUYER. I DO MY JOB VERY WELL SO I CAN BRING DESIRABLE QUALITY CARS TO YOU. I SAVE YOU THE TIME AND HASSLE OF FINDING THIS TYPE OF RARE QUALITY CAR. PLEASE SEE MY FEEDBACK ON SOME OF THE VEHICLES I HAVE SOLD IN THE PAST, ALL MY CUSTOMERS HAVE BEEN HAPPY AND SATISFIED,WITH THAT SAID LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT MY CAR ! A 1985 BMW 524 TD,THE RAREST OF THE RARE .THEY HAVE A GREAT RELIABILITY REPUTATION AND WOULD MAKE A GREAT ALTERNATIVE FUEL CANDIDATE. I HAVE SEEN 3 OF THESE CARS IN MY ENTIRE LIFE AND TWO WERE OWNED BY ME 15 YEARS AGO .I PICKED THIS CAR UP AT A LOCAL CAR AUCTION IT WAS A NEW CAR TRADE IN, I CANT BELIEVE THIS SHOWED UP AT A LOCAL SALE IN MO. ANYWAY I TOOK THE CAR OUT FOR A TEST DRIVE ON THE HWY AND FELL IN LOVE, THIS VEHICLE DRIVES TIGHT AS A NEW BMW , I GOT THE CAR BOUGHT THAT DAY, I HAVE SINCE PUT APPROX 1,000 MILES ON THE CAR IN THE LAST COUPLE WEEKS ITS PURE PLEASURE TO DRIVE, I WOULD NOT HESITATE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE CROSS COUNTRY TODAY. THE CAR HAS A VERY EXTENSIVE SERVICE HISTORY BY A LOCAL BMW DEALERSHIP SEE PICS OF SERVICE RECORDS. THE CAR ITSELF IS POWERED BY A 2.4 6 CYL. TURBOCHARGED DIESEL ENGINE ONLY SOLD IN US MARKET IN 85 AND 86 ,THE MOTOR RUNS FLAWLESSLY STARTS WITH EZ , VERY SMOTHE AND POWERFUL AND CORRECT,THIS MOTOR RUNS NICE AND COOL ON THE ROAD.IT WILL NOT LEAK A DROP OF ANY FLUID ON THE DRIVE WAY, THESE MOTORS HAVE A REPUTATION OF EXCEEDING 1 MILLION OR MORE MILES IF MAINTAINED ,THEY WERE TRYING TO GET IN ON THE MERCEDES 300D MARKET HERE IN THE STATES WITH THIS CAR. JUST THE FORGED STEEL CRANKSHAFT IN THESE CARS CAN FETCH 3,000 OR MORE TO THE BMW RACE GUYS WHO PUT THESE CRANKS IN THE GAS 6 CYL. RACE MOTORS. THIS MOTOR HAS HAD REGULAR SERVICE BY THE BMW DEALERSHIP.AND PURRS LIKE A NEW KABOTA TRACTOR!! THE TRANSMISSION IS A 4 SPEED AUTOMATIC IT SHIFTS FLAWLESSLY AND CORRECY, IT DOES NOT LEAK A DRIP ON THE DRIVEWAY AND HAS NICE CLEAN RED FLUID "THIS CAR HAS ICE COLD WORKING AIR CONDITIONING" THE BODY IS VERY SOLID, DOORS STILL CLOSE LIKE A BANK VAULT, ALL BODY LINES ARE STRAIGHT . I BELIEVE THE VEHICLE HAS HAD A PAINT JOB ONCE UPON A TIME,THE PAINT JOB IS VERY DECENT AND STILL SHINES VERY NICE,I BELIEVE THIS CAR HAS BEEN GARAGED AND WELL LOVED. THERE ARE MINOR FLAWS AND DINGS COMMON WITH A PRE OWNED 27 YEAR OLD VINTAGE CAR.BUT I BET YOU WONT FIND ONE IN BETTER SHAPE ANYWHERE. IT HAS A DING ON SUN ROOF SEE PIC, THERE IS ALSO A SMALL BUBBLE SPOT ON PASS LOWER FENDER. FLOORS AND TRUNK ARE ROCK SOLID.THE ORIGINAL WINDSHIELD HAS 1 SMALL REPARABLE CHIP SMALLER THAN A DIME.HAS A CLEAN TRUNK WITH ORIGINAL SPARE AND THE TIRE TOOLS AS WELL AS JACK. BUMPERS ARE STRAIGHT NEVER BUMPED ,NICE GRILLS & FOG LIGHTS LOWER VALANCE PANELS ARE NOT DAMAGED OR BENT. THE INTERIOR IS CLEAN AND IN DECENT COND. NO PERFECT, IT HAS A SPLIT ON LOWER DRIVER SEAT SEE PICS, CARPETS ARE CLEAN WITH NO FUNNY STAINS OR SMELLS, FRONT POWER SEATS WORK GREAT, FRONT ARM REST ARE VERY NICE AND CLEAN BUT THE REAR ARMREST HAS SUFFERED SUN DAMAGE SEE PICS. DASH HAS TYPICAL BMW CRACKS ,THE HEADLINER IS NOT RIPPED OR TORN BUT SOMEWHAT DINGY COMMON WITH DIESEL CARS? SUNROOF WORKS ,ALL WINDOW MOTORS WORK BUT REAR PASS MAKES A NOISE WHILE OPERATING, NEEDS ATTENTION.ALL POWER LOCKS WORK. RADIO IS AFTERMARKET LIGHTS UP DOSENT MAKE SOUND, SUSPENSION ON THIS CAR IS WHAT I WOULD SAY LIKE NEW! VERY VERY TIGHT DRIVING CAR. STRAIGHT AS AN ARROW DOWN THE HWY, NO SHAKES SHIMMIES OR SLOP IN WHEEL, THE STEERING WHEEL IS PERFECTLY CENTERED. THE BRAKES ARE 100 PERCENT NO SHAKES SQUEALS OR GRINDING AT ANY SPEED. TIRES ARE ALL MATCHING I WOULD SAY 75% TREAD LEFT ALL APPEAR TO BE WEARING EVEN AND CORRECTLEY EXHAUST SYSTEM IS LEAK FREE AND VERY SOLID, THE CAR HAS A DASH ISSUE ,COULD BE UNPLUGGED ?? SPEEDOMETER & ODOMETER IS INOP, TACHOMETER IS INOP, FUEL GAUGE IS INOP, THE ONLY GAUGE WORKING IS TEMP, ODOMETER SHOWS 130K IM SELLING MILES EXEMPT, I BELIVE I HAVE DESCRIBED THE CAR ACCURATLY AND HONESTLY IF YOU SHOULD HAVE ANY QUESTIONS I WILL BE HAPPY TO ANWSER THEM, PRE SALE INSPECTIONS ARE WELCOME FOR DETAILS CALL ME DIRECT AT 573 374 4664 BY BIDDING ON THIS VEHICLE YOU WILL BE ENTERING INTO A LEGAL AND BINDING CONTRACT DO NOT BID UNLESS YOU INTEND TO PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE, IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE FUNDS TO PURCHASE A CAR DO NOT BID !
