I am selling a 1985 BMW 524td. I am the second owner. All service has been done at Auto Europa in Phoenix. The previous owner and myself have been very meticulous in taking care of this vehicle. NADA vehicle guide gives this vehicle a High value of $6875, Low Value $3625 and an Average Value of $5050. I just saw one sell with lower miles on ebay for $8350. The vehicle is in excellent condition inside and out and runs amazing. The ac is freezing cold and the heater works. I hate to let this vehicle go. I recently had the entire vehicle painted with high quality dupont paints and clear coat in 2011. It should last for years. I just had all the brakes and rotors replaced as well as a brand new battery an alternator, new tires, steering linkage, and had all the fluids changed. I have a list of other stuff I have done over the years that I can give you upon looking at the vehicle. Over all this vehicle runs extremely well and being a diesel the engine will last many more years.I had a minor accident in 2011 and had to replace the front bumper and drivers fender. The exterior of the vehicle looks great and you could never tell. I have a clean and clear title. The interior looks amazing especially for the age of the vehicle. I always had sheep skin covers on the seats that I just took them off to sell. The arm rest have some tears in the leather and there is a small tear in the drivers seat. The odometer reads 211077 but stopped working at the end of 2008. I would guess that actual miles are around 240,000-250,000. I recently replaced the gears on the odometer and it works intermittently. The speedometer does the same. I believe there is a short or the speedo sensor needs replacement. This would be a great vehicle for anyone that loves these rare diesel BMW's (only 400 imported in the usa) or a great first car for a teenager. I tried to cover as much info as I could. Please email me with any questions. I have a carfax available. VIN #WBADB2402F0530638On Dec-30-13 at 14:33:29 PST, seller added the following information: The heater works great but only through the defrost vents. I think the blend door may need replacement. The paint is still in excellent condition except there is some chipping on the back windows chrome (as seen in pictures) and a some minor chipping on the drivers door trim. I do have dark tint all the way around and the tail lights and blinker lights have been smoked. I do have the front fog lights but didn't install them. Like I said the car runs great but does leak oil like you would expect from a 1985 diesel, but nothing extreme. A small section of the carpet around the front speakers was cut out when I bought it (seen in pictures). On Jan-01-14 at 19:41:27 PST, seller added the following information: Here are some other things that I forgot to add to the description. The overhead console works but the check button doesn't so the dash always shows check light. The net behind the drivers seat is superglued at the bottom. There is a small crack on the outside of the glovebox. There is cracked plastic on the passenger seat near the track (as seen in pictures). The rear speakers have been upgraded and replaced with 6 1/2 " polk audio speakers. I added a new antenna and antenna wire but fm/am still doesn't work. the cd player, mp3 and ipod player hook up work. I can send pictures of anything you want to see closer. In addition to what I already stated, these are the repairs I have done over the years that I have owned this vehicle: New fuel Injectors, new fuel pump, new fan clutch, new driveshaft, new turn signal lever, new ignition switch, new vacuum pump, new oil line for the turbo, new upper and lower radiator hose, new coolant reservoir and sensor, new wiper emitters and hose, new wiper pump, new wiper reservoir, new transmission cooler lines, new rear av boot, new fuel filter and gas line, new throttle cable, new trunk hinge and torsion bars, new weather stripping for the trunk, new fog light switch, new license plate lights including the plastic casing. I have replaced all of the plastic door handles on the inside of the vehicle. I have had the fuse box repaired. I have had the blower motor repaired. I have done my absolute best to remember anything that I have done to the vehicle as well as anything that is wrong with the vehicle. Keep in mind that this vehicle is 29 years old and it won't be perfect, but it is in phenomenal shape in my opinion. I have replaced a lot of parts already so there shouldn't be anything major for many years to come. Please email me if you have additional questions or if there is any other pictures I can provide.
