Hi,
I live in the UK and have been offered a 2005 (05 plate) 530d SE Auto with around 150,000 miles on the clock for ?6,500 it has the following options (that I know of):
Xenon Headlights
Adaptive Headlights
Professional Navigation System
Bluetooth telephone
I'm totally new to BMW's and don't really know how the high miles hit the residuals. Does this appear a fair price, and what could the problems be with this mileage.
Many Thanks

Cheers. No, it's not a fake, it's the father in law's car. He was offered that for a trade in against a new 535d.

In the future you can replace the engine with a new one :

Trouble is that 100k is a barrier to many. I guess this car has done a lot of motorway driving? The wear and tear would be relatively low so it shouldn't be a problem. As ever the turbo is the most likely problem area but this can happen at any time anyway...
Do the usual checks, especially on the auto 'box but at ?6.5k it's a bargain!!!
