How can this car only have 7000 miles and still have the tires on it the factory installed? $11,000 doesn't seem unreasonable to me. Thoughts?

i would be as wary of a car like this as a car with 300,000 miles

$11,000 for a salvaged 530 with bad paint work? Dream on......

Don't think 530 come with narrow grills.

it may have 7k on it simply cuz it was smashed and sat for years, too messed up for anyone to buy!

embarrassing paintjob too, colorblind painter!

So the wide grill was replaced with a narrow one... I wonder how bad that thing got hit.

Enough that it was hit in the front and back and the doors were repainted... NEIN!

Ad says hit in rear and whole car repainted. Except for the drivers door?? Silver paint is hard to match...

It may be the photos but it just doesn't look like it sits right, kinda leaning to the drivers side.

I ran a carfax. VIN came back as a 530i. Mileage came back as 7606. NY salvage title issued about a year ago.

the damn doors arent even close to the correct gaps... Ill bet it was seriously trashed. Wrong grills, and the paint is hideous

Well that's not all, take a look at the close up of the speedometer. There is something that looks funny around the edge of the MPG indicator. Something has been apart in the cluster.......hmmmm, wonder why???

Look at the ragged edge at the top of the "Miles per Gallon" indicator...what's up with that?

FREE SHIPPING! anywhere in the US lower 48...hopefully they never see it again after it's shipped. LOL

I've never seen paint peel on the inside of an instrument cluster like that.

Is that body is TWEAKED or what!?

Michael

The seat heat switch is backwards, and isnt the seatbelt covering the first spot to wear on a seat kind of suspicious? Wouldnt the tires be dried up and hard at the age that they would have ot be?

the tach looks totally sketch!
the seats and steering wheel do look pretty new, armrests too
