[Thanks again kbannon.]

Otto is a beautiful, well-maintained example of this future classic, with just 97,500 miles on the clock; only 10,000 of which have been put on in the last two years. In that time he's been regularly serviced by Brian Powell Motors in Cork, and regularly waxed and detailed by me personally. I've only experienced one major problem with him, the front suspension, which has been essentially rebuilt.



I need to sell Otto as I've moved down the country and become a culshie, which necessitated buying a van and saying things like oo-aar. Seriously, it's a 525i and not light on petrol, so I've had to put my luxobarge fetish on the backburner for a couple of years, until I can afford to run that LS400 I've always wanted on a second policy.



He's been off the road since March, however I took him for a spin a couple of weeks ago and although he does need a battery and ABS fluid, he's running as well as ever. No NCT and no tax, and at that price I'm not willing to do either I'm afraid! I honestly can't see a problem with an NCT though.



And yes, I am a moron for not taking a picture of the interior. It's cloth, in good nick apart from the (seemingly mandatory) small fag burn on the driver's seat. Sony CD player, e/w e/s e/m. No a/c I'm afraid.

Thanks for reading,
adam


>>>ORIGINAL POST<<<

Hello chaps, had no idea this place existed. I've been trying to shift my poor Otto for yonks and Sander mentioned earlier that I should mention it here, but I don't know what the policy is. Can I post the details here or is that frowned on?

Ta,
adam

I agree. Put it through the NCT. If it passes it should sell easily. If it doesn't
at east people will know what they need to fix to get the NCT. Best of luck.
