Is this petrol BMW 5 Series too cheap?
Hi,
I am thinking of purchasing a second hand 2004 BMW 520 2.2 petrol for €5,500 with 91k on the clock. When I compare similar models same year for sale they are minimum €6k more expensive. Am I missing something or just getting a good deal? Just an opinion please.
Thanks, J

Is this Ford an import because it's in miles?
I drove a 2011 Focus today and its mileage clock was in miles. Are all Fords like this or is this car an import from the UK?

Should I worry about outstanding finance?
I am purchasing a used car imported from the UK by a dealer in Dublin who appears to specialise in this type of car sales. I have paid a small deposit to the dealer but have discovered via a Cartell.ie check that the vehicle has outstanding finance of a type called 'Unit Stocking' from a UK finance company. Interestingly the start date is shown as 01/02/2018 with a term of six months. I was told there was no finance outstanding on the car and the vendors appear to be respectable and trustworthy.
What steps should I take to protect my interests prior to completing the purchase?
