Arthur Dailey Really enjoy seeing these loyal survivors. The listing seems to prove the adage that the person who owns the car is more important than the make or model of the car when it comes to long term service/reliability.
ToolGuy If you could see how well my FFIE position is faring, you would understand how brilliant I am not.
28-Cars-Later "Our seller is asking $8,000." Wow, kinda reasonable but still a tad too high given risk. Btw for some reason the Z4 "M" is 11,750 with those miles, my brain initially crashed trying to reconcile below wholesale and upon reboot realized I wasn't looking at "M6"
ToolGuy "admiring one that drove past the 400k-mile mark during its career"• I bet some of those trips were unnecessary.Remember, the safest most affordable trip is the one you do not take. Also remember, if I am driving there is a good reason for it -- I do not need you clogging up the roads out of habit lol. Learn how to drive, people. This includes knowing when to stay home. 🙂
MaintenanceCosts These base 740s always seemed incongruous to me. Luxury-grade interior with fabulously comfortable seats and pleasing Scandinavian design, coupled with an unrefined, weak, and noisy (though durable) economy-car engine. They should have added another cylinder or two to the redblock for these cars.
