It’s slightly suspicious they put all that money into it and are letting it go now.

We have a town named Sandwich. True story.

Or maybe they’re just sick of dumping money into it and are cutting their losses.

If the cooling system has some new parts too I would have no qualms about this.

The timing chain guides were known killers of the V8s so it’s good that those were replaced too.

So, uh, does that mean it doesn’t come with a sandwich, then? Well, in that case, CP.

My real fear with these is the gaskets. Which have been done! This is totally one of those “its not even that irresponsible” irresponsible ideas. The 530 is so solid though.

Or perhaps they bought it nearly free with failing guides, are mechanically inclined and fixed it themselves, and managed to turn a profit even at that price. I know a person who was given a free e38 with failing guides. He fixed it and daily drove it.
