I have my beauty 840 for sale. This car was built by Tom Georgalis in Dallas TX. I purchased it 8 years ago and it has been a dream to drive. It is Hellrot with tan, no issues with the car at all. Check on my post later for all the information on the car. Yes is seems like a lot of coin, estimated at 467hp, It runs with the CSI for much less coin. Asking $38,500 obo John 308-940-0735

$38.5K? Is it gold plated? Seriously what makes it worth that kind of coin?

"840SC" is your first hint ... Unfortunately KBB doesn't have a checkbox for "ESS Supercharger" when you look up used car values. Seller will have a hard time convincing anyone around these parts of the value, especially with a one-line classified ad with no pics.

Note to seller, no matter how much YOU spent on the mods, the guy thats buying them used, will usually be willing to pay a whole lot less. Besides, I hear that you can buy the 18th most powerful 8 series for much less.

I will give you 13k for it.

[olinjohnston]

It's an amazing car...but the ESS supercharger on my 330Xi hasn't added a dollar to its value. I hope someone comes along who appreciates it for what it is.

Makes the car sound good to me, and worth the money, maybe a little haggling to get the price down a bit... People will pay for a quality car, just not normally on a forum filled with 19 year olds spending their $500/week paycheques.
I sold a turbo Lexus LS400 and got what it was worth. Post pictures, I'm interested.

Send me an address and i will send you a CD full of pictures of the 96 840. jpworld54@hotmail.com

Another well sorted, properly cared for example of something you can't buy otherwise. No way on hell you can build it for his asking price either. The car is certainly worth a premium and the right buyer will pay it. GLWS, ignore all the BS in your thread, the right buyer is out there.
