SOLD
Black with black interior. New 18"wheels and michelin pilot mxm4 tires about 1k ago. I purchased the car with 102k in aug last year. Current mileage is a little under 110k. I am replacing the valve cover gaskets, power steering pump, plugs, and doing an oil change this weekend. I replaced all 4 shocks with factory sachs 6 months ago along with strut bearings and center link. I replaced the intake manifold gaskets, valley pan, and all gaskets along with this job about 8 months ago. Pixels come and go, no check engine lights. Both cats replaced when I bought it. Only mods are short shifter, cdv delete, and removed rear resonator (the one that sits next to and looks like the muffler). Also has cheap aftermarket headlights with hid. I thought they were depo but got ripped off, but they look better than the clouded up stock ones. I bypassed the stock amp and replaced with aftermarket amp and polk speakers. Front cupholders are fine, one back cupholder is broke. I sold the spare tire with the original set. I am asking $10,000. I can email more pics if someone wants.

I also replaced front wheel bearing when I did the shocks.

The valve covers are finished. Also replaced the plugs and cleaned the MAF. I belive I found the cause of my hesitation and idle problems. The hose that goes onto the plastic silencer that sits under intake pipe just after the MAF wasnt seated and was letting air in. Oops. The power steering pump is up for next week. I ordered the clips for the wood trim so that will be fixed also. Am I asking too much? Not even a hint of interest.

it's a super nice looking car...good luck. these 5 series are really, really starting to grow on me. i'd love to have that 6 speed too! good luck again.

price updated. trying to raise some interest.

Hey Travis, I met you with Nick the other day.

Just a few more ?s...does the car have heated seats/steering wheel? DSP? Moonroof or sunroof? Rear shades?

Any more pics? denton dot gupton at gmail dot com

Does have a moonroof, no rear shades, no heated seats, no dsp. I did bypass the factory amp with a kicker 5 channel amp and polk audio component speakers. I'm working on getting some good pics that I will email you.

I checked my payoff on the car today, $9650. Thats as low as I can go. I paid $11k a little over a year ago. I just want out of a payment. I am replacing it with a 1994 4runner. I don't drive the car that often as the 8k miles in 14 months shows, that why I hate making the payment. The car runs great. I replaced the power steering pump today along with the two belts. The car is idling perfect, no hesitating. I got 27mpg last weekend on a trip to Ohio, and about 19 around town. I don't know how old the clutch is but its never slipped. You would not be dissapointed with this car. There is a lot I have replaced that someone will not have to worry about when they buy this.

id like to see more pics

I am having trouble loading the pics in hotmail. I will send them as soon as I figure it out. Nothing wrong with the car, everything is fixed.

still have the car for sale. $9500.

happy thanksgiving. I would like to sell the car soon, anyone?

pics to john at jskibo dot com please....

I'll get those sent today. I am willing to deal, someone make me an offer. I bought a 94 4runner to replace this only to find out that it has a bad head gasket. Now I really need to sell this and fix the 4runner.

if you still have the car would you kindly email a vin and whatever other pics you have

im in lexington and interested in the car.I sent you an email through craigslist. Send me your phone number and ill call you

I have some people interested, but for now the car is still for sale.

Still have the car. Why such the lack of interest? Should I try ebay?

could be that people are trying to keep their homes at this point:) also, your pricing is up against a lot of competition these days. regardless, i think the car looks great. you'll eventually find a buyer for this gem. maybe me. i sent you email via the autotrader ad. please respond with the vin/pics and highest offer you refused.

cheers.

Free bump. I looked at this car and decided not to buy. I came across a deal i couldn't pass on. Speaking on the car however i can vouch for its mechanical condition. This owner has taken amazing car of this vehicle. I drove the car and it felt as smooth as can be with no hickups whatsoever. I think its just a really bad time to try to sell a car so its really just a buyers market. I have no doubt that this car will sell its just hard to find the right buyer. Good luck with the sale travis.

BTW i'd register on 502streetscene.net to try to sell it. Its a local louisville KY forum. Ill vouch for it on there as well.

Based on sethck reply send me your number, so we can talk and give me a good time to call... Thanks

Several 97 540i/6's have sold for the low $6ks on ebay recently. The market on these cars is horrible right now.

whatevs...look it up.

Gotta be careful in that price range...but they are definitely out there. Many seem to have excellent body/interior condition, but all are high mileage (over 100K...some nearing 200K) and have variable maintenance histories. I'm going to see one this week.

That being said, a similar car from a reputable forum member with a detailed history is certainly worth more...but how much more? 25%, 50%...

ill give you $8,000

I can be reached at 502-320-2252 if anyone has any questions about the car. I appreciate the good word from sethck. I cannot take 8k for the car. As far as the 6k cars on ebay, good luck with one of those. I have bought a lot of cars on ebay and can honestly say you never know what you are really getting. I had to get the police involved in retrieving my deposit on a car that I returned to the seller because of undisclosed mechanical issues. The 94 4runner I bought on ebay to drive in place of my 540 is sitting needing a lot of work, possibly a new engine. My car is priced comparably, if not lower than most listed here or on autotrader. With the amout of work I have done on the car I think its worth every penny.

the kicker amp and component speakers in the car have a lot more potential than the factory system. Also the recent maintenance on the car takes care of a lot of things that somebody would be doing on a car just over 100k. luck with the sale and bump for an honest seller. BTW the HID's were sweet.

hey i just wrecked my 330 and might be looking to get a 540 can you send me some interior pics

My car needs a new home. How much do I need to come down to sell it?

$9200?

I know this is a super low ball, but I just dont have more. I can offer 5k. Please dont hate me for that.
