Old German executive cars were once considered desirable acquisitions. In Russia, their fame came in the first half of the 90s. Mercedes-Benz W124, Audi 100, BMW E34 - all these cars were status cars. The last one was considered the most “boyish”. Perhaps it is still valuable. Although, if you approach the choice with a “cool head,” then the best purchase will be the Audi 100. Moreover, the C3 generation, not the C4. The latter, although it looks more modern, is not distinguished by the body’s resistance to corrosion. By the way, the Audi 100 C3 is perhaps the best model of those years. It’s quite possible to buy one without bugs, and for reasonable money.
As for the BMW E34, it is difficult to find a car untouched by the “red plague”. They exist, but the prices are inadequate. And they also started asking for 200 thousand rubles for frankly “tired” cars. What good is this if such BMW E34s move, but look deplorable. And the motors work unevenly. Many owners do not understand that even an old German car needs to be maintained, and efficiently. And if you don’t do this, it will turn out like in the video on the AcademeG channel. However, an old BMW E34, even in poor condition, can give joy.
