Did you ever consider a used BMW M5?

I have an 01, each car being equal from the factory. The M5 blows the Cobra away, in performance and handling, Ok not blows it away but I personally feel it is better!:devillook

If you have any questions or concerns pm me.:)

I don't know how much you are willing to spend but, you can find 2002 & 03
M5 anywhere from $43,000.00 - $52,000.00 with around 30,000 miles, with extended leather, park distance control, M-Audio, maybe even sun shades. If you don't know already it comes standard with a six speed.

I did consider a M5. I should have looked at them instead of the 740. Things that would steer me away:

Mod prices
repair costs

I don't know. I've always been a domestic sports car kind of guy, I tried to switch, but no luck.

nice ride, looks mint

Cobra740i,

Understood, mod prices and even oem prices are rediculous!

ttt

I'm selling mine, but I can't argue with black before silver... any luck Cobra?

I think it's a terrific-looking car. But I found myself strangely attached to the PDC (Park Distance Control) that my car has and can't imagine driving an E38 without that feature.

Cobra, do you find your car difficult to park at all?

Anyway, I think for the condition and the mileage it's a great price!

I don't have PDC on mine and spend a lot of time in downtown Seattle, never a problem parking and never hit anything. ;)

Yeah, I saw that on your posting on craigslist :)
I guess I am a terrible parker than. I managed to hit both bumpers a few times WITH the PDC :withstupi :mad :help

Haha, nice... then I see the necessity.

No, I have not had much luck at all. I think it is just going to take some time, and I am in no rush.

No, no problem parking at all. Our Expedition has those, but I rarely use them.

i have never seen a black car that clean.... it blows my mind....

I could never keep my car like that in NYC.

How do you not have any rock chips? door dings or anything?

my advice is keep the car, if you really want to sell it you will have to drop your price and its too nice a car to sell cheap

I had just got done washing it that day. It does have a couple of rock chips in the hood, but overall it is a very clean car. The guy before me took very good care of it as well.

thanks,
Aaron

having trouble selling? i have a e38 98 750iL for sale, having a rough time...

I am not getting much interest, but I think you just have to find the right buyer. I think it is priced right. I am in no hurry, so it does not really matter to me. Plus, I really like the car, so I don't mind if I have to hold onto it.

Anyone have insight on to why these are so hard to sell. Like I said, I am glad I am not in a hurry!

Insight? Perhaps. Low APR financing available on new cars. High cost of gas. Low gas mileage. High cost of insurance. Pricey repairs and expensive maintenance. I think this is enough to scare most people nowadays.

To Cobra 740I, if you have not received my message from one of the other ways to communicate with you, I not sure of how to use this site, I am new. I am interested. Email pcadwallader003@comcast.net or peter@hpcadwallader.com , cell phone 215-852-3162, my member name is DAX, my name is Peter Cadwallader.

Hey Dax,
Let me know if you did not receive all the pictures I sent. There were about 60 of them.

thanks,
Aaron

Sold.

My condolences...it is a loss for all of us.

Not really, this guy says he is going to mod the crap out of it and turn it in to a 4 door rocket.

ouch...so sad :(

because that would be a serious uptick for the E38 mkt...
-----------------------------------------------------------edit
i just saw your other post about getting close to your ask.

yes the 01 sports with 90-100k miles are going for very cheap, easily under 20k... and if you check the 7 forum someone just picked one up for 16k i believe...
