Alright then, im rasing the price on my 6 speed swapped '01 740i sport w/ 150k w/ new guides from 6500 to 8500 lol
Personally when Im scouring used ads If I see a clean body and interior in the 110k-140K mileage range with general maintenance items taken care of I would pay in the $4K range and if the timing chain guides are done I think I would have no problem with a 2k+ premium on top of that. Above $6-7K I want low or sub 100k mileage and/or timing chain guides. Im not big on the Imolas or other rare colors since I prefer the black, blue and grey cars so I personally wouldn't pay more for color but I can understand why some people would.
Oh id get more on BAT if it was pristine with records. i bet it would pull in 10-12. the paint needs help and no records. 7500 is more than fair now as is.for 7500 you can make it perfect...
to be honest i only have like 1200 bucks into it:P so if i need to paint it, I will.
Not currently listed , but it'll go on ebay w/ 7500 reserve.

Super fair asking price with the guides done IMO. You would probably get that on BAT with no reserve.
Exactly. There is no reason for a respray if planning on selling. And I never like to buy cars with resprays. Not saying I haven't but it's really risky because most painters are not that good. $4k even seems cheap.
You sure? The only reason i would re paint is to bring in more $$. so I should leave it then and leave it up to the next owner? Probably wont get on BAT now as is. ebay though, yeah. 7500 reserve.
BAT may sell with no reserve. Can't hurt to try. I would absolutely avoid a respray for resale. There are far too many 150k mile E38's out there unfortunately. I would almost guarantee you would lose 1/2 to 3/4 of the paint cost in the resale.
Just got around to running carfax on it. Cleann. serviced at dealers since 2012/ 128k miles. nice. Currently has about 158k. I know the guy who built it in 2017 and he knows the guy who owned it before him and that guy knows the guy who owned it before him since it was his dad lol. So only 2 years are missing from carfax 2013 & 2014.
My original post was in reference to the silver one in the CL ad btw. Just realized I was confusing the two of you.
Lets get the party started before it's my bedtime.
It's clearly past your bedtime old timer, what kinda comment is that to make you old fart.
I have around 1000 bucks into the car and now as it sits its worth about 7500. I said i was considering painting it before sale, then I would set the reserve at 8500 and see where it goes. I am probably not gonna paint it, though.
Profit well either way $$$$ I don't really care, like I said I would just like too see it go to a good home, like some one on here.
Anddd maybe I will spend some of the thousands I'd make in profit on hookers and blow!
Clown.
ppl like u are why ppl like Ben (binjammin) left.
I'm out. for a while atleast.
peace.

Yea, Why don't you get back to us when you're counting all your money. Oh that's right, you won't be counting all your money. Remember you only have a $1000 car and it just draws lots of attention in the _ " turd" for sale section. Who is Ben and should we send out an "APB " on him.
Lets get the party started before it's my bedtime.
Looks like we won't have Narlift around for a while. That Ben guy used post and bust peoples balls a lot. He was pretty funny at times but too harsh. People called him out so he slinked off. Really too bad, just a modicum of courtesy goes a long way. I thought your comment about hookers and blow was pretty funny.
How could you not buy from this guy? I want to get this steering wheel simply for the earnestness of his description. A good and noble deed!

Finally got lucky Friday night on craigslist. Responded to a late night post for a 99 sport short, and was the first one there Saturday morning.
125k, anthracite/grey, new tires, new front brakes. Sagging headliner, slightly dirty on drivers side seat. Bad small screen navigation. Future work was more than he wanted to spend.
His phone was blowing up while I was looking at it so I bought it with no test drive. But just the drive home had me hooked on the big boy.
That license plate...
