Dear all (and mods), I hope I have posted this in the correct format.
Ok, where to start. I have actually sold this car 3 times over the last month but it would seem nobody is willing to pay me actual pounds sterling for it, i don't take 'dreamers dollars'.
Anyway, I have copied the old ebay text below;
Due to a change in personal circumstances I have to sell what was going to be a long term project for me. In the photos I have tried to show the areas in which work will need to be done. All E24's look a million dollars when they are shiny and this one is no exception but similarly like all E24's this one has rust...not loads but it is in my opinion a middle ground condition 2 car.
I'm not going to try and 'sell' this car to potential buyers, I'll cover off the issues it has and then you can make a judgement from the pictures.
Areas of attention;
Body
Sunroof - has rust in both corners, the car was sat for a period of time before I bought it and it has not done this area any favours. The sunroof works perfectly and doesn't actually leak believe it or not but the rust extends about an inch inside. I have cleaned up and treated with remover/preventer.
Front N/S wing - unsurprisingly it has wing issues, only this one though, the other side is fine. Repair or replace. Inner wings look sound viewed from inside the engine bay.
Underside - it had done fairly untidy welding for it's last MOT on the jacking points and sills confined to one side by the looks of things. The other side looks sound and original.
Both front and rear screens are sounds around their aperture's with only the beginnings of slight bubbling on the front bottom left (see pic)
Engine/Trans
Starts, drives, shifts, warms up very well, doesn't overheat, aux fan cuts in perfectly. Oil and filters are fresh as are plugs. Drives and stops very well, kick down works perfectly.
Air con doesn't blow cold surprisingly.
Interior
Is a little tired in keeping with it's age. The electric seats work but the bit that extends behind your knees on the drivers seat doesn't. It has heated front seats but they both don't work - I haven't investigated why, poss a fuse/relay?? I don't really do vehicle electrics.
The speedo works intermittently again I haven't had the inclination to start taking things apart to see why. The computer and check control work but the computer needs new bulbs to see the display at night.
Service History
Has all the service books, literature and an amount of invoices from recent work.
All in all a very good basis for an excellent car, which is why I bought it in the first place. It looks great with the time and effort I have put in on the cosmetics so far and turns a lot of heads as these always do. It's just a shame I won't get to enjoy it - it has 8 months MOT left on it. You've seen the areas it needs attention, these cars especially Highlines are notoriously hard to price in this range but I am more than happy to discuss the car with prospective purchasers 07979 853693 £3750.
Ps photobucket is acting strangely and won't let me upload any more pics drop me a pm on here and i'll send you over lots more.
