As you read you think the price seems reasonable considering all that important maintenance stuff is taken care of so at least it'll run---what?

They're more likely attached to the engine and in another car. "Look man, I said I bought those parts recently, I didn't say they came with the car. By the way, it's another $500 if you want wheels, otherwise bring your own."

That Yellowtop cost as much as a junkyard engine, so its even more confusing. They also don't have timing belts.

You're giving the seller too much credit. He very well may have painted the top of a cheapo battery yellow.

If I had even the slightest need, I'd be at this guys door with $3K in an hour. Hell, you could probably get it for $2000 or so considering it looks like an estate liquidation.

Looks clean as hell and super low mileage. Grandpa(RIP) probably got it serviced every few months at Ford too I bet.

Having owned a Town Car I cannot substantiate the claims of 35mpg. 25 was a drat good day on the freeway.

Would be a good buy though if you were into a big gas guzzling saloon. I had my phase.

Well, if your confused as to how your car works, its best not to own a car. Also this car must be Muslim, because it works in ALLA, the country. (please don't flame me muslim goons).

If this is one of the iDrive ones (those are the ones with the Pong-esque paddle in the console, right?) I can't blame him either. The only car I ever had to open the owner's manual on to figure out something that should be ridiculously obvious like setting a radio station preset was on one of those. The chime noise they make when you put the key in the ignition still enrages me. It's like a taunt.

What enrages me is the knob, it rotates, clicks down, and moves like a joystick up left and right......but not down? THAT was the line BMW?

Germans should never be allowed to design a UI.

But, on topic...I don't think iDrive hit until about 2002ish.

E38's are sans iDrive. They are actually quite simplistic in terms of use, my E39 is basically a E38 minus a few things.

2002 7XX is when the iDrive first appeared.
