Tanya, Here's some information on my car if you know anyone you work with that might be interested.
2000 BMW 740iL Black exterior/ grey interior. VERY nice shape. The "L" model indicates it is the "long" version with 6 extra inches of leg room for the rear passengers. It has every option including Navigation, power window shades, premium sound, EDC (electronic damping control) as well as the DTC (dynamic stability and traction control). It also has one very interesting special order option. It has the security glass windows (very thick) and the STEEL sunroof rather than the glass sunroof. The paint is in excellent shape and the interior is also VERY CLEAN. All the options work. It has a cassette and 6 disc CD changer in the trunk. It also has the newer 4.4L engine that produces approx. 300 HP. It is a big improvement over the 4.0L engines in the previous models. The car had about 160,000 miles when I bought it. It now has 192,000 miles. So, I have driven it 32,000 in one year! It has been perfect. BMW requires synthetic oil and the previous owner had ALL of his maintenance work done at the BMW dealer in St. Louis. In fact, at 160,000 miles he did ALL of the recommended maintenance items and spent nearly $4000 getting everything flushed, filled, adjusted, replaced, inspected, etc. I spoke to the Service Manager when I bought the car and he said the previous owner was a fanatic about maintenance. This was the previous owner's 3rd 7 series and he traded it on a new BMW 7 Series active Hybrid. The Michelin tires on it are fairly new and have lots of tread. The cooling system has only had the BMW approved "blue" coolant. I have had it serviced at my local Indy who specializes in MB and BMW. I will be parking it at his lot if it doesn't sell this week. I get 25 mpg on trips when I keep the cruise at less than 80. Over 30,000 miles of driving, I have average 18-19 mpg combined. It will cruise all day long at 100 mph. The front and rear suspension were all rebuilt already and it drives like one of the best driving cars in the world - as a 7 series should. 2001 was the last year for the E38 Chassis and the 2000 and 2001 are the most highly sought after. You can probably find a cheaper 7 series, but not one in this shape with this maintenance. I checked the various sources for prices on this car. Edmunds shows $6241, $6675 NADA, and KBB $7222 retail and $5800 private party. Price is $5800. It really is a nice car, with no problems and nearly 13 years of very particular maintenance and care.
