For sale 1997 BMW 740IL
120K miles
white w/ tan leather
Exterior in great shape
Interior shows some wear, but still in good shape
Power windows, locks, seats, mirrors, sunroof, rear shade, 6 disc changer in trunk
Has had the following work performed:
Intake gaskets / o-rings, coolant expansion tank, coolant sensor (all common issues with this model) all replaced in last 6k miles
Full front end rebuild (new control arms, tie rods, idler arms, etc) and front brake discs and pads done about 10k miles ago
15k miles on tires (lots of tread left)
20k miles on catalytic converter
Cam cover gaskets and plugs done 25k miles ago
Basically in the last 25k miles all of the "normal" issues with this model have been addressed. Don't buy another 740 that hasn't had these services and then spend the $4k-5k it would cost to do these services.
We really like the car, but it is a second car and we are moving to the east coast and no longer need it (will be getting a company car)
Has some very minor issues that in no way affect performance of this great car (cup holder nds fixed, one piece of trim around the door needs new clips)
runs/drives great
Kelley Blue Book puts private party "fair" value at $6900
Car is in LaJolla, CA near UTC.
Asking $5800 obo
Also possible trade toward 67-69 camaro or 65-70 mustang fastback. In trades looking for running v8 car in "driver" condition. I'll add up to $9k to the BMW for trade.
