A nice low milage car for anyone in the market for a big old 735. Not sure how much he'll want for it though.

Nice car...not sure about the blue interior though...

Crazy mileage though... 3000 a year...

Could do more damage to the engine though, using it for short low mileage trips...?

Cirrus blue with blue cloth. Nasty.

Still, nice enough car for £600 which is all it's worth.

I was waiting for your comments Andy and you didn't disappoint. I like Cirrus blue but I agree about the blue cloth. At least it easy to replace interior trim and it has the all important aircon and other toys.

I agree, it's value on the used car market is about £600 but someone looking for a good low milage 7 series may be willing to pay more. Mind you thae fact the values are so low is a reflection on how many people are looking for such a car.

I reckon he will ask at least £1500 for it

£1500 - good luck! I have a smart looking 1989 730i
manual with black leather, cruise control and a
detailed FSH which is, in my opinion, worth about
£300. It's not worth selling and with the 262'000
miles it has I would probably struggle to get that.

E32's are worth next to nothing - they really are an
unwanted big old car just like W126 Mercs, XJ40's
and other potential money pits whose time has long
since passed.

This one SHOULD be worth 1500 quid, which as a
sum of money isn't a lot for such a decent car. But
Cirrus blue is such a foul, insipid shade and the
blue cloth is just evil. If it were Calypso red with black
or beige leather then it would be a lot more
appealing for £1500. At £1500 you have a lot of
choice for big old smokers and you can stir in 18
mpg average for a 735i Auto.
Cirrus blue will never be the new Black!!

I just noticed - it's Glacier blue which is a nicer colour
that Cirrus. But my God, that blue dash! Looks like
an '89 Bluebird in there!
