Looking at a 530D

Hi all,

Im viewing the below 5 series on the weekend:

https://www.bigmotoringworld.co.uk/u...-m-sport-17709

Is there anything to look out for when buying? Im aware its highish mileage so will need a major service at some point.

Looks like 5 series comes reasonably specced as standard

Cheers

I bought from here and got a good car and a very good price. Just be prepared for cheesy salesmen everywhere and for them to be uninterested. Remember the £200 they add on at the end and they will push you to take their warranty which I wouldn't bother with.

It went from 23k to 57k without a service, according to the service history. 34,000 miles on the same oil

Still thinking about buying it ?

Who can tell? He appears to be one of those who askes a question, never to be heard from again.

OK you give a thumbs down whilst failing to even acknowledge anyone who bothered to answer your question. Great.
