They seem to be steadily creeping up in value for tidy cars, I'd really tread carefully with all of them. It's a very easy car to spend 10k on.
I did a right job on it!

5k to do a rebuild if you don't need a new block. 4K on top of that if you need a new block and you can't buy rhd blocks anymore, you need to buy a LHD block and modify the bracket for the alternator.
That's a very conservative estimate. €2500 for paint. Plus an easy 1k for bits.
€600 for wheel refurbish and assume you need to spend another 1k on tyres.
Another grand to recondition the interior.
Cheapest M5 in Europe my arse.

I was in that m5 before and had a good look around it,it was sold for half the price its up for by a friend of mine so that should be an indicator of its condition[emoji6]
Ive found one with 107k on it needs paint but all there, parked up quite a while though 4 years nearly and no vanos ever done? Value?
Pro or post facelift? Colour, spec?

00 but has facelift lights all around, usual spec has only half leather,n carbon black, has bilstein coilovers in it and big brakes all around, service history only up to 50k as the owner is a mechanic and says he serviced it every 4k miles since he got it
The difference is more than just aesthetics. The facelifts have revised rings and use less oil.
Also, pre facelifts are more prone to vanos issues
But to answer your questions. If it's tidy I would say it's worth around 10 - 12k mark.
That used to be parked in town on Lombard Street years ago. In fairness the owner used to park it a bit better [emoji12]Quote:

Currently for sale in Limerick and took a price drop form 16500 to 13500 last week.
Its not a concours car by any means and Irish poverty spec from new but would be a good project car.
