My friend is selling his bmw for 6000 its 1999 5 series with 90,000 miles on it is it worth it.Is it worth it buying a 1999 bmw 5 series with 90 miles on it?No . . .



Any good accountant will tell you . . .



Never buy a car . . . or any asset that depreciates . . . especially cars . . .



Lease it . . . drive it and forget it.



Most cars can be lease from $10- $20 a day . . . cheaper than most taxi rides and you can drive them anywhere.



Cars are transportation not fashion statements and they do not provide anyone with prestige.



Look for the cheapest to operate, insure and lease and move on - your love affair should be with a human not a car.



Forget the sales and marketing push that you'll be a somebody with this or that car.



People that judge you buy the car you drive are shallow and add nothing to your life.



Treat a car like a taxi - it is just a ride from here to there.Is it worth it buying a 1999 bmw 5 series with 90 miles on it?Lol I like UDog's answer and is very true. However a good percentage of us myself included have an emotional motivation behind a car purchase. Being a BMW it's a good idea to take the car your looking at to a independent mechanic to look for things that will need replacement soon or immediately.



You can use that info if any to negotiate a better price as well since you'd have to do these repairs. Browse websites like bimmerfest.com or bimmerforums and search the E39 section since that's the chassis code for a 99 5 series. After buying an E36 328i 5 speed 10 years ago I've been in love with BMWs but it's because they drive awesomely. Most older ones don't have crazy power but the inline sixes in the ones that have them are addicting!
