SOLD - E34

NCT sathurday 8am...if she passes I may have a swap plus cash or a buyer.........i will let you know

Well I hope you get your €1,500 Oisin. My point was that you have spent €600 + €400 + €400 + €80 + €120 (on a gearknob!) which is €1,600 alone, plus 2 new tyres, plus rad, plus the initial purchase price of the car ...... and all this on the 2nd car in the shed doing very little. On this basis it is a bad move economically. 

You want a jeep for driving to site & the bit around site when you get there, as well as lugging a trailer around at home etc... If I were you I'd put the 15" wheels & original bumpers on the 520i, a tow bar, & use that for the duration of the project. Yes it will use more fuel, but I know your expenses(!) and when you compare loss on E34 sale, purchase of cheap diesel jeep (which ain't going to be light on juice), it makes no sense.

Neither does hanging on to a diesel Passat and getting a jeep as the nag, considering the miles you will do on the site you are working on (circa 30k annually? with alot of that driving to & from site, office etc). Sell the Passat, buy another jeep (why did you sell the Santa Fe?!?), and use the E34 for daily mooching around.

I don't want to sound harsh, but your current decision tree is climbing up the complete wrong branch Oisin! Both financially and from a driver satisfaction perspective. You're making all the wrong compromises I reckon - you should have hung on to the Santa Fe, or else hung on & got a jeep you wanted before selling the Saab. 

So don't jump into selling the E34 when it is a car you really like and have put alot of time & money into getting it the way you want.

Well, because it worth it...and TJ you should know that,condition of my E39 was mint...and still going strong! I will let ye know next sat..she is going for NCT and may have a buyer, there alway one!!

Interior worth €600, Alloys €400,Bumpers another €400,brand new battery with receipt €80. new m5 Gear Knob €120 and fitted...LOL, the rad is only in 6000 miles as is the wiper linkage which are both new,full tool kit,M5 steering not fitted,orignal 15" with two new tyres and and two good ones,orignal bumpers,and loads of bits! surely 1500scrap...car is free at this rate...or worth more to me but has to go......
