Hello,

I am interested in a 2000 528i TiAG with 106kmi. It is a beauty and is in very good condition. I am considering the possibilty to commute to DC a few times per week and wanted to know if this would be a good car to do so. It gets 23MPG so that seems pretty good for a comfortable commuter car with the possibility to even take a customer to lunch or dinner.

The other possibility is to find a new vehicle with 0% APR such as a VW jetta maybe tdi.

Please let me know if you can give me some feedback for you E39 owners. I really appreciate it.

Also, please let me know what you think is a fair market value for the vehicle is.

Regards,

I owned my 528i for almost 5 yrs... had few problems with coolant.. but it's a all solid car... I still enjoy driving it more then my e60... but 2009-10 will alway be a lot more reliable

Fair market value should be around $9000 or so. And if you only get 23mpg you're doing something wrong. My '99 would regularly get over 30mpg on the highway, and over 25 around town (manual trans). 100k on that car is nothing. There's another 100k in it without doing anything major to it.

Good luck!

An excellent car. What else can one expect from the 5 Series? There's one thing I can guarantee for sure: ULTIMATE PLEASURE when being in the car. I adore my 1997 523i. But the 528i is one step higher.

The E39 528 is a great car, in both looks and reliability. Since you posted this on a 5 series forum then it seems to me your mind is already made up anyway. Besides, do you really want to take clients to dinner/lunch in a VW?
