    Shopping for another E38 AGAIN!!!!!

    Well, hasn't been a week since I sold my 7, and Im already on the hunt for another 740i. Found a few Im interested in, I want to stay low clicks and specific options and colours.
    And here is one I found, these guys want a lot of money, for not that low km's of a car.
    What do you guys think, and can anyone in the area of Cincinnati go down there and check out the car for me?
    Here is the link:

    That is ludicrous money. Even with the low miles, I would really not go above 10 or 11 on that car. The 1-owner, Cali, low miles is nice, but not THAT nice.

    Living in so cal I see low mile 99 and up 7 series going for $8-9k on CL all the time. Higher mileage models going for $5-6k. That amount is crazy though!

    That is way too much money for that car. The car would have to be flawless in every way to pay the asking price.

    Beautiful car! I would jump on it for that price because it truly is promising, but it all depends on what you're looking to spend.

    Personally I'd find something like Alpine White or Anthracite.

    Nope. 10 at best. The car barely has any options.

    They are known for having quality low mileage cars. Cheep they are not. If you just goto have it its the place to go. As they say there is one born every minute.

    Even thought that is a very nice 740i sport with low mileage and what looks to be an updated nav. The car doesn't seem to have any options, judging by the buttons it has DSC and sunshades. That car does not warrant the $17.9k price tag. Maybe $14-$15k.

    Did the OP still want somebody to check the car? It's not exactly down the street from me but it's not too terribly far away. PM me if you need/want me to stop by I can most likely get up there in the in the next couple days if needed.

    I'm with everybody else. Too much money. I looked at a similar one a while back here in Columbus. A little higher mileage but the asking price was only $8999.00

    I would only ever want to spend maybe 10k, but that's on an exceptional example of an 01 with low miles.

    True but there are even more exception low mileage ones for lower prices out there. I nearly bought a white 740i sport like that one with only 33k miles on it and double pane glass but the guy wanted $19k for it.

    I am looking at a green 740iL sport high line right now with 48k miles on it for $16k. If it wasn't for the fact that it is in Florida I would already own it.
