Need someone in Calgary to check out a car
Hey guys,
Thought I would try here for some help with inspecting a car. I'm 7 hours out of Calgary and can't justify the trip in just to look at a car. If anyone could go kick the tires for me and let me know how she checks out, that would be awesome. Basically: the SVX keeps having more and more problems that are costing me a lot to fix, it's almost at 140k miles, I miss driving a standard (mmm 6spd), 4 doors would be better for me, etc. That and I've always loved this particular BMW. http://canadatrader.com/result/detai...35&ID=20808993 1999 BMW 540i 6spd 140k km. Good price. I am close friends with my local BMW Service Manager, and he's almost got me convinced to buy a bimmer. I have loved this model of 5-series since it came out, and I figure if I already drive an expensive, rare, large, heavy car with crappy gas mileage this would not be a big change for me. If you can help me out, please post here or email me at dan.marchment at gmail dot com

Can't help you much other than I have driven a 2000 540i with an auto and was very impressed with the power at legal speeds. Didn't have room to test "other" speeds.

It's tough to find a 6spd for sale, and even tougher to find a reasonably priced one. I'd still like someone to look at this for me, please.
I wonder what they would give me on tradein for the SVX?

Don't expect much for a trade-in. A guy in Winnipeg traded his in last year and only got about $3000.

A huge Thank You to Rod who took the time to look into this car for me. Looks like they've sold it already, but his onsite investigation leads me to believe I wouldn't have bought it anyhow.
This is a great community which never ceases to amaze me with the help people volunteer to others. You guys rock.
