View Full Version : 95 840Ci on ebay *lowest price around!!!! BimmerFreak 05-02-2006, 10:56 PM She has a few issues...but its one hell of a deal!!! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4636789652&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMESE%3AIT&rd=1 speed racerette 05-02-2006, 11:11 PM A FEW issues?? LOL! I am tempted to buy it and part it out. I need those headlamps and at $1500/pair new (and no used to be found anywhere), I only need to sell the rest of the car for $8500 to break even. I honestly believe when it comes to the E31's, the old adage of you get what you pay for applies. BimmerFreak 05-02-2006, 11:14 PM Yep, thats why I wanted to be up front with all of the negative points of the car. It has a few, but it would be perfect that wants to get into an E31 at rock bottom and refurbish when they have time and money. Ahmed303 05-03-2006, 11:45 AM Also be very careful of the car with the issue ridden Nikasil 4.0L engine. I hope when the engine was replaced it was replaced with the Alusil engine. I guess a $5k is a better pricing for the car with everything needing to be done. BimmerFreak 05-03-2006, 12:09 PM Also be very careful of the car with the issue ridden Nikasil 4.0L engine.

Are you for real? :confused Tell you what; do a search on autotrader and ebay for a 5k E31. The cheapest 8 I could find on ebay was a 91 with a salvaged title. The average selling price for a 840 is around 14-15k The issues I listed are minor (yet time consuming) and really would cost less than 2k to address. Anyway, thanks for your pricing strategy. :rolleyes Ahmed303 05-03-2006, 01:03 PM Well...Take it with a grain of salt. I already have an 8 and had it for the past 8 years. I know 840's. But if you want to buy it, then you are looking at the Buy it now price of $10K plus another $2K totaling $12K. Fairly average price? I only wanted to caution on the Nikasil issue. Yes my pricing may be off but for $5K more you can get a 850Ci in very good condition and 100K miles less on it. Plus the repaint to change the color completely removes from the originality. But I don't want to get into a fight with you. We can always agree to disagree. Here are a couple of E-Bay 8 series "I" would consider: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/JOIN-THE-RICH-AND-FAMOUS-CLUB_W0QQitemZ4636897151QQcategoryZ6130QQssPageNam eZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1991-850-BMW-V-12_W0QQitemZ4636841477QQcategoryZ6130QQssPageNameZ WDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1992-BMW-850i-V-12-2-Door-coupe_W0QQitemZ4635788601QQcategoryZ6130QQssPageNa meZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem BimmerFreak 05-03-2006, 01:50 PM Well...Take it with a grain of salt.

This is perfect for the DIY guy that ONLY has 9 or 10k to start, and wants to invest some time and energy into making this car his own.

I don't think you understand, this is Bimmerfreak's car that he is selling on Ebay. BimmerFreak 05-12-2006, 10:56 PM I don't think you understand, this is Bimmerfreak's car that he is selling on Ebay. Yep, the 840Ci is mine, and its for sale. I have way too many BMWs right now, and there is no time or money to focus on this car. I am still in the planning stages for Operation E24 Makeover....so no time for the E31 BTW: the car has been relisted with a $8499.99 reserve/Buy It Now price! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4638721603&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMESE%3AIT&rd=1 BimmerFreak 05-12-2006, 10:57 PM I don't think you understand, this is Bimmerfreak's car that he is selling on Ebay.
