천만원짜리 수입차를 실제로보니.. (반전주의)

Summary

The video shows a used car dealer inspecting two BMW 5 series diesel sedans in the $10,000 price range to assess their condition before purchase. He test drives them and thoroughly checks areas like the engine bay and undercarriage. He points out worn parts needing replacement and fluids not maintained. Though no major issues are found, he cannot recommend either car due to lack of proper maintenance. But notes that if one just wants an affordable, problem-free used 5 series, these could be options with some maintenance investment.
