1996 BMW 740iL E38 for sale (http://www.panjo.com/buy/1996-bmw-740il-e38-for-sale-21711?utm_source=bimmerforums&utm_medium=bbcode&utm_campaign=auto_thread&utm_content=title)
Hello,
I recently bought this 1997 BMW 740iL and love the car. it is oxford green It has 180K but the engine sounds new. I want something a little more fun. I only have put about 50 miles on the BMW since I purchased it.
I want to sell or trade the car -- or possibly keep it. I want $2900 obo or possible TRADE
The BAD:
Interior needs work -- missing some mats, need to clean rug, front seats and center console need to be reupholstered, rear door panels were ruined because previous owner rigged them with a screw (horrible, I know. It was blamed on the kids), rear sun screen gear is damaged (stuck open), two windows regs are bad and 3 door lock actuators need to be replaced. Shift knob is cracked, cup holder is broken - as you can see it's mostly cosmetics. Nonetheless a project.
Exterior: Wipers relay seems to be shot, front bumper should be replace or fix due to a crack in the front. Could use a new paint job. Also, I removed the chrome fender/quarter panel chrome archs you see in the pics. Previous owner installed them. Car looks much nicer without them.
Engine: No complains here. Sounds like the CAT's should be changed since I hear a little raspy noise -- that's it. Again, engine sounds new and it is smooth as can be.
Suspension: there is a bit of a shimmy as they call it on e38.org, after a close inspection it seems like the tie rod arm, or thrust arm is showing signs of failing. Basically as you are driving you feel a little bit of tug on the driver's side front tire. -- BTW if you want to own this car, e38.org is a nice place to look for resources.
So that's it. I want to be as fair as possible by outlining all that is going on with the car so that future owners can be proactive about maintaining this beautiful car.
The GOOD:
Engine is extremely smooth, I plan to switch to NGK's, A/C works fine, tires are new, brakes are awesome. O and I bought brand new hood struts..
A/C: According to previous owner, the system was replaced about 6 months ago. Nothing to worry about in this department.
I want to keep this car for myself. But at the same time I need to sell it asap.
I am willing to ship the car given that you have done your research on shipping costs and procedures.
If you are interested in trading or buying please let me know about your offers by texting 786-361-6298 or call me at 305-713-4793. Please leave a voice mail if I don't answer. I will return your call as soon as possible.
Thanks for your interest.
