Hi my names scott, I live in the Uk.
Here's my 525D auto its currently on 274k miles or 440k KM, its got a few niggly faults like anti trap and some bulb warnings but overall its in good condition.


My spec.

Any ideas on what i should look out for in terms of long term ownerships ?

 

I don't see a panoramic roof listed, otherwise I'd say check your drain lines. That said, check the engine compartment drains near the firewall to ensure they're not clogged. Otherwise, gaskets on these things always leak pretty much everywhere.
That said, what's the interior look like?

 

These are all the photos i have atm, theres no evidence of any water in it.

Pretty spiffy! Steering wheel seems to be on the wrong side though. Socket wrench and a couple 'spanners' should fix that.

 

Aha cheers, I swapped a mk4 mondeo probably known as a fusion type car in the usa for it, Not bad for a 274k !!! pretty clean.

 

What happened to the rear window wiper? Previous owner did some pull ups with it?

 

I have zero idea whats wrong with it and what todo to fix it, may just get a new one its gaffa tapped on atm.

 

I'm not seeing a pano roof (jealous) so the majority of expensive issues you don't need to worry about.

Next up is to check the tailgate hinge wiring and assume you'll need to repair both sides.

 

I got this one for $20 last November and I have no complaints. It is the entire arm assembly and a new wiper blade.

 

Could you post a link of it so see if it sells in the uk
