Help.. if you owned a '01 w/73,000 miles and...
.. you were told it needed:
a new thermostat (due to leaking)
water pump
2 real ball joints
2 power steering hoses (due to leaking)
Crankcase Vent Value (due to leaking)
approx $2K total
Would you:
1) Replace item(s) first
2) Replace all
3) Replace nothing and sell the car
thanks!

If you plan to sell it then, I would think a well conditioned M5 would sell much faster than one leaking power steering fluid, anti-freeze, blowing blue smoke on startup with a poor idle quaility and noisy rear suspension, don't you? In fact, I don't think it would sell.

True... Went to look at a 2000 M5 a while back...
I'm still walking around the car, and notice an after market exhaust, Dinan if I recall correctly, I mention this to the sales guy and he jumps in the drivers seat and starts the car, then proceeds to rev the engine, to show off the exhuast sound i presume, but he also creates a huge cloud of blue smoke...
He's like, "do you wanna take it for a spin?"
I'm like, "No, I don't need to test drive this car... Thanks."
