It doesn't hurt to try Carmax for an appraisel.

I've been in the Autotrader for about 3 weeks, online and the mag and I still have her.

GL on the sale of your TL!

[Wisky]

Car looks great, good luck with your sale. . . but I would suggest including the following information:

Recent maintenance, history of services, modification list, problems (sratches, mechaincal, electrical, etc), etc etc. . .

[BimmerFreak]

Beautiful car!
Bump for you.

[jmig]

ttt........NE1 for this sweet E39!!!

What "issues" would you say your car has?
What things would you want to have fixed if you were keeping it?
*also, any rust?

Eventually the clutch will have to be replaced.
Any related suspension parts like bushings, etc., everything checked out when installing the new suspension and alignment @ 110K.
I would repaint the hood to repair the road rash up front.
I have a air bag light that's been on since I've had the car. Dealership says it's the passenger seatbelt buckle.
Heated driver seat just went out last winter. Heating element in the seat itself not the switch.

No rust!

[boostd4]

I work for BMW, and we see those seatbelt buckles trip lights all the time. Easy/cheap fix (if it's the problem).

[jmig]

bump

[eurotunerwerks]

boostd: i tried sending you a pm but i can't yet. do u mind letting me know about the fix for teh airbag light.

[KR98E36]

I cant believe thats a 97... free bump for a hot car.

Wouldn't be interested in trading that baby for my M3, would you?

[awahl63]

mileage?

[MikeHsu]

it has 125k see post number 4.

If it was under 100k, I have a buyer for you but hes not looking for anything over 100k miles unless...

-We take a look at it and its in pristine condition (mechanically).
-if the price is negotiable

You guys are more than welcome to look her over. And I'm welcome to any resonable offer.

Sorry, the wife would not be happy!! I bought a new truck before we decided to start the addition on our house and the deal was I would sell some toys so we could do it right!

I'll be looking down the road for another BMW when the time comes. This is my first BMW and it's all that I researched and more. It's the best built car I've ever owned, I owned muscle cars, imports, trucks and motorcycles and the E39 is the best of the best!

Still For Sale! I've had a couple of potential buyers, but the funds aren't immediately available.

12K and take her away!

[oasay07808]

anyone know how much it would cost to ship to the West Coast? It'll cost be about 1K to get it to Hawaii.

I used DAS (Dependable Auto Shippers) from San Jose Ca. to Maryland. They shipped a 1 ton Ford truck I bought a few years ago and that was $1100.00

I have the following that will go with the car when sold:

Stock halogen headlight assemblies (hazed over and pass. unit the adjusters are broken)

Stock tail lights and side markers.

OE sport springs and sport rear sway bar.

Stock shifter.

Rear wheel bearings (NIB)

The style 19's were sold shortly after I refinished them.

Purchased @ 100K 3 yrs. ago this October.

Clutch is fine and showing no signs of failure. It is the original clutch and I had that on my radar to replace, once it was time.

Here's a couple pics!

dayum!!!! my bad. lol.
i cant understand why it wouldnt sell, its biscuit.
have u tried craigslist, local autotrader, yahoo auto, and autotrader online?

[jmig]

TTT! C'mon, I can't believe my beloved e39 is not wanted!

[MikeHsu]

i would so buy it if i had the money but i think the high mileage is scaring everyone away :( From the looks of it, it seems like you took very good care of it.

[00bm00]

Willing to trade for style 19's and maybe cash to lower the price.. it would be local so no shipping involved.

[Wisky]

That price is more than fair - someone should snatch it soon; I would have strongly considered this car if I hadnt found my M3/4.

[jmig]

ttt!

Going on vacation for a week starting Monday and when I return I'll be taking her to a local auction where the car will run for 3 weeks.

[Gregg]

Dang! I can't believe I didn't see this when I started looking! Nice car! Good luck with the sale man.

[jmig]

ttt...Back from the lake...I guess it's off to the auction!!

[DBren23]

I can't send PM to you...if car is still available please contact me dbren23@gmail.com

Thanks

[cr00klyn718]

pm'ed...

[jmig]

sold!!

[ysgi]

I'm glad this thing sold.

Because it was nice and I am having the hardest time finding a low mileage 540 that I kept seriously considering this one.

It looks to be a well kept car.
