Of all the GS cars for sale currently, the average asking price is around £23.5k and the average mileage is around 52k. So this seems bang on. Possibly cheap, given its ownership and history.
Some of the less desirables examples like the Battersea one loiter around (believe that had heater matrix issues), although did love the colour of that.
Using ours as a daily... alternating between that and our QPV.
Did not know the Tridents were an option!
This... so whats that on a GS, clutch... subframe (if it's not been kept on top of), heater matrix?
I have a semi-skimmed E39 by comparison to your 540i/M5... mines a 530i Sport touring... although the 3.0 straight-six is one of my favourite engines ever, just ticked over to 219k. Had it for almost 8 years... most reliable thing I've ever owned, love it.
Yep, all of the above. These are generally standard maintenance items that will wear out. So..... the previous owner has been lucky and all of the wearable components have done their job, but you come along at 50,000 miles and these items start to need doing. Ideally you want to buy a low mileage, low ownership, annually maintained car with clutch, brakes, suspension etc replaced just before you buy it!! The holy grail! Probably doesn't exist. Generally that has been my business model in the past. Buy a good car, spend a fortune on it and then sell it at a vast loss!! The secret is buying the car at the right price.
