If I could afford to have a bunch of E34's around I would drive out and look at that (about 20 mins from me) but that looks sweet.
No association with the seller, just looked like a nice one so I figured I'd pass it on.

The guy that wants to put $12k in a 525 should spend $400 for an airplane ticket and go buy that car. Always start with the best candidate you can find. Hard to find a 535 manual trans car with low mileage. The big six will last forever and ever and ever.

I'm calling on Monday about this ride. What questions besides the following do I need to ask about this 535? I know the questions about the 525 since I already own one. This ride will not replace the 525, but rather my older honda.
1: service records always....
2: Being that old the Radiator would be a concern.
3: I heard something about banjo bolts on the cam shaft needing to be replaced. premature cam shaft wear.
4: Upper thrust bearings. shimmy
5: Overheated? Leakdown test perhaps?
Can anyone take a test drive and give me a call. If all checks out I'll rent car and drive the 4hours up from NC to pick her up..
Scott
email me please... I will be asking or the carfax..
here's a big ass list of questions. thanks to Gayle for this list. speaking of which where's she been? still at the gym?
1. Under what circumstances do you drive the car? Is it your daily driver? Rough roads, city, highway, what?
2. When it was driven in the winter, what was the weather and the roads like at the time? (I lived in Cleveland for 9 years, and I know that all winter driving is not equal).
3. Has it ever overheated?
4. Does it shimmy under any circumstances?
5. Timing belt been replaced?
6. What symptoms made you replace the clutch?
7. Who did the upgrades? Did you do them or have someone else do them?
8. Is it lowered?
9. What kind and weight oil have you used in it? How often changed?
10. What kind of coolant have you used? How often has it been changed?
11. Where did you get the wheels?
12. Has the air conditioning been retro fitted?
13. What did the mechanic tell you about the rocker arm breaking? Any thoughts on what might have caused that?
14. What is not working perfectly?
I presume you have seen the list of "what will break." what will break?
15. What kind of leaks does it have?
16. What were you planning to replace/repair next?
17. How many miles on the tires?
18. Any dents?
19. What kind of shape are the rims in?
20. Where are the scratches? How long/deep? How did they get there?
21. Ever been in a wreck?
22. I am sure your car is better than mine in every way, but my car's strength is the condition of its interior so it makes me wonder what you are critical of about your interior. Please describe the condition of the leather. What color is the carpet.
23. What kind of gasoline have you used?
