Any BMW experience here? Looking 4 damage assessment '01 530i
I been eyeing a 2001 BMW 530i with front accident damage.
BMW 2001 530i - damage body
That is a link to the sale.
I was wondering if anyone knows what is in the damaged area? If there is an oil/tranny cooler, AC dryer etc. Please let me know if there is anything major there I should be concerned about. Or if I should just walk away from it.
I have priced parts, and besides a hood I can get color matched fender and bumper cover for around $400, inner bumper $100 or less, oil and tranny coolers run $40-60, AC dryer around the same. New headlights are $120
Am I missing anything?
Looking at this because I do not have much cash to put out at once and do not want a debt either, so I can slow fix over 2-3 months and have a decent ride for my kid.
Thanks for any advice or tips.
