We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 1981 BMW 533i for sale by us right now. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Here is what to know about the 1981 BMW 533i before buying one.
A buyer's checks
In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.
Engine and fuel
No fuel-use rating is published for this model year, so we leave those figures out.
Best uses
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
What the 533i is like
As a car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight.
Try before you buy
Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Rent the 533i for a week and see how it fits your life. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.
Choosing the right one
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
What it costs to run
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.

Rent it for a week before you buy
