4.6is value

As many of you know, I have been looking for a decent estoril blue 4.6is for a while to replace my 03 3.0i. I found this one but its a little rough, how much do you guys think a fair offer would be? It needs some work but it runs and drives fine.

He's got it priced right so long as the mechanicals are in reasonable shape. Will need some stuff for sure at that price but he's priced it accordingly it seems. Would be reasonable to offer $500 off.

However, if you are like most people out there you could probably get much more off given the state of the country ATM. It's kind of a d*ck move... but probably doable. If you go this route show up with cash and be prepared for a decline. He'll call you back in a day or two, maybe a week or two.

That’s a very fair price. I just had to get my rear bumper fixed, got hit. Ended up only damaging the rear bumper cover. Had to fight with the insurance company as to the vehicle value to get them to fix it. Got it to $7000

Have a PPI done by an independent BMW shop. That will tell you if price is a value. One key question is if timing guides have been replaced.

The car was a little too far gone in terms of cosmetics to warrant replacing my almost mint sienna red 3.0i. The search continues
