I am considering selling my 1995 540i sport. Claypso red with tan leather. It is a rare 6 speed manual. The car has a new factory recalled engine. The car has 136k total as of now. I have all the records on the car. M-parrallel wheels with pilot sports. Car has been maintained by Rick Vaughn at Vaughn Werks. It is garage kept and washed once a week. Waxed 4 times a year. This is one of the cleaner e34's out there and nearing everything is new under the car, including flywheel and clutch. NOW ASKING $9,750. Thanks.

That car is a beauty and well worth the price listed. Would love to see more pics of interior. Also, what other goodies are on the car, looks like your wheel gaps are gone, so you must have a sport suspension.

I have had offers around the upper 10 marks. I believe you will find the car is well worth the asking price. I am pretty firm on my orginal pricing as I have put close to $1200 in the car in the past few months. Please feel free to email or PM me with any questions you might have. Thanks.

Forgive me if I am being rude, but your asking price is 11,500 and you state you are open for discussion on that. You also point out that you are getting offers in the upper 10's, why aren't you taking them?

What is your absolute set price?

PWJK12
03-18-2007, 02:28 AM
itraveltoomuch, I have range that I have priced the car at feels to be fair market value for such as car in the condition.....I had buyer offering asking price this this past week and have to back out for a series of personal problems. If you would wish to speak to me about the car in person please feel free to do so. If you are seriously interested in the car please feel free to contact me. Thank you.

I cant imagine why, any ideas PWJK12? Have you had any serious interest or just a bunch of tire kickers? Such a fine example of an e34 and I think thats a pretty fair price.........maybe because were in south carolina? No idea, but I do know that if I win the shrimp-n-grits $5,000 lottery payoff I'll be at your door the next day

PWJK12

I'll be straight:

I want the car. But the fact that I would have to drive considerable distance to even look at the car makes me really hesitant to make an offer. I'm ISO a nice clean e34/36 with lower mileage and your car looks to be in fantastic shape, but how/where to meet up??

The car was debadged by the previous owner. All europeans cars have no badging. So I guess that was the look he was after. I like it as well.
All parts on the car are OEM but the slotted rotors and brake pads.
