Okay gang, we're close, and I need some input.
- Car #1, 2000 540 6 speed, silver on black, 170k
- Car #2, 2002 540 6 speed, toledo blue on grey, 200k
Both cars have clean histories, no accidents. Both have timing chain/guides done within the past 50k, as well as cooling systems gone through.
Car #2:
A stack of records, really responsive seller, unique exterior color. Facelight nice to haves (headlamps, steering wheel, tail lamps, etc.). Interior isn't my favorite, but I've seen folks that eliminate the wood trim and it really modernizes it. Everything works, but the seat adjustment is a little wonky, which I hear is common
Car #1:
No records, seller isn't that knowledgeable but isn't a hack and is very transparent, classic silver on black. Pre facelift is a bit dated, but a nice driving car. AC does not function, all else works

Both respectable, tidy examples, both not without a bit of work, but I'd say car 2 could be put into service immediately, car 1, I'd need to deal with the AC very quickly.
