Mine/affiliated.

Bought this shortly after moving into my home this past summer as a larger vehicle was needed for Home Depot runs. Well last month my company decided to move locations & I can no longer commute via public transport so something more fuel efficient was bought & now this must go.

The good. Car has just over 150k miles on it now. I bought this from the original owner who kept all service records, even have the window sticker. Since I've owned it I have replaced the tires, thermostat, ignition switch, plugs, rear pads/rotors. Runs & drives very well, engine is quiet. Transmission & clutch shift great. Also, it's a wagon with a stick, does anything else need to be said?

The not-so-good. Cosmetically she has some flaws. The 3rd brake lamp fell off & was removed. There is no driver's side visor. The radio volume knob has vanished, it may still be in the car somewhere. Slight surface rust showing beneath one tail lamp, on one rear wheel well, & on one rocker. The stereo is awful. I had to replace the amp when I bought it & didn't bolt the CD changer down & took it out for an auto & now there is a jammed tray. Radio & cassette deck work. Headlamps could use a serious buffing, or replacement. Does have HIDs but wouldn't know it by looking through them.

Questions/Pics let me know.

I have a set of HIDs and 2001-03 style lights for this if anyone happens to buy the car. Also an M5 front bumper in black that needs a bit of crack repair.

Love the E39 Touring.
