FS: e32 740i

[stafforde30]

I am selling my daily driver, it's a 94 with about 160k and is in really good shape. The interior is like mint, the exterior has a few dings bits it's a 21 year old car. My dad (ase certified technician who works on euros of all sorts) picked the car up as a flipper and I ended up buying it. He did a ton of work pretty much every sensor or relay you can think of (the car had a no start issue when he got it but runs beautiful now) and recently we did front lower control arm bushings, a center link, and front brakes. I have hids for it but they aren't in it, I just put new used wheels and tires on it, and a bit of a spit shine to the paint and trim. Please help me out and buy this car, I need to pay for my wedding haha. $4200 obo, thanks, Craig. PM for a phone number.

Nothing? Haven't had a bite here or on Craigslist, what am I doing wrong?

OP - I think creating a better sales ad with better pictures all around would help. Several of the pictures are rotated, etc ... which makes it more difficult for a buyer to determine what they think the car is worth.

That being said, congrats on your upcoming wedding and GLWS!

Honestly that body style is not every ones favorite and that price gets you into a pretty clean e38 which everyone loves.

Similar price point and a lot more status:

I agree with Mac. Most folks would rather have the styling of the E38. Also, the exterior and interior color don't really help. I was just offered the exact same car for $500...so you might want to drop your price if you'd like to get it gone.

GLWS regardless.

Yeah I'm kicking myself for buying it now, I was mad at my e30 and wanted another BMW. I will lower my price but I have a feeling in gonna take a hit on this car, thanks dad for the "family discount"... Anyways I should have more pictures tonight.

More pictures and new price of $3900 obo.
I bought the car because to me it looks like an e30 swelled up and stuffed with a v8. It is an awesome road trip car, took it to the Columbia river last summer, did 80+ almost all the way there with 3 people sleeping. It does look grandpa-ish but that's just so you don't get pulled over when your fudging the speed limit.

Pros:
New lca bushings
New steering center link
New front brake pads
My dad did every sensor and relay when he owned it (beginning of summer 2014)
New used tires and wheels off of a parts car
Very very clean interior and exterior
Runs and drives like a top
Hid headlights

Cons:
Tires don't match front to back toyos and bridgstones
Drivers front window switch doesn't illuminate but still functions other wise

Let me know if there is anything anyone wants to see and I'll try and get a picture. Thanks for looking.

I also agree with Mac, although people who know and work on BMWs know that the e38 is a piece of shit compared to this car. The e32 was built to last. The fact that you can pick up an e38 so cheap these days is a testament to that fact. The interiors are cheap and the leather is shit, they have bizarre electrical issues, the motors have problems that your motor doesn't have, and BMW decided that the tranny shouldn't ever be serviced. Fuck status.

That said, cars like these typically sell for $2-2.5K.

I dont agree that E38;s have a cheap interior. Maybe the plastics... but the carpet is so plush!
