It won't be going anywhere for awhile because think I will be getting stupid quotes on insurance to so will have to wait for my claim to settle .
It's just such a nice car so very well looked after , just look at the seats you would not think it's done a 180k .
It's got to be worth £2000 surly it's taxed 12 months mot and he has spent a few quid on the suspension .
Tyres are like new .
It's a non sunroof model.
Aside from that it drove very well very smooth a quiet , once seated it does not feel like such a big car .
What do you guys think of the 2.8 as it's only putting out 190 bhp for such a large car .

That is a great spec car. 728s are fine, they do not feel like a road block and can be relatively economical if driven sensibly. Shame about the 180k. If everything works and it has no major issues and you want it, try £1500.
Because of the mileage, I doubt if there is much of an earner in it but it would make a nice smoker for the price of a rusty 325

I know nothing about these at all , but it look to be a good 1 to me , stunning colour combo it really is just suits the car so well .
The tv monitor slides forward to reveal a front disc loader of some sort but it has a changer in the boot so don't know what it's for .
Don't know where the radio is .
And forgot to check if the air con works .
Not sure if its an individual spec car but it's defo a sport due to the seats and black headlining .
So much car for so little money , but I bet will cost a few quid to maintain .

Yes miles are very high but it's fully stamped up by Damien hill to about 160 .
He spent £800 pounds on it all new rear suspension /discs! /Pads/inc foot brake shoes/track lincs 12 months m.o.t .
So that's always a good sign money being spent .

The radio works through the nav screen, or not

The tuner boxes do die. The TV will be dead as it is analogue, they can be converted but the gubbins is several hundred squids

Aircon needs checking as dead systems never just need gas

The turd also needs a decent roadtest, steering vibrations at 50-60 mph are never just wheel balance related
E38s are great cars BUT a tired pig (that will be most) can easily swallow its purchase price in a vain attempt to make it a good sorted car

Now you got me worried
Surly this one don't look like it's been used and abused
Looks like it's just rolled of the production line .
The only problems he mentioned was you can open the boot from inside the car , warning on dash saying brake lights are not working and also that the boot is open when it's not , that due to a catch and he has a replacement .
Will have to check the air con , to be fair I did not take it far or up to speed but I will on Monday .
I guess they fall into the big car nobody wants , but I think they still look the part .

Looks like a nice car with a great spec. 728i's are fine, they dont feel slow at all and are not bad on fuel especially on the run.

probably one of the best spec's in the 728's with individual spec being the Mora metallic you won't find many with that colour.
I had one 3 years ago on a 02 plate in mora metallic dam thing was nice got offered good moneys for it so had to go

Don't know Why Sebring didn't buy this but I picked this up a few weeks ago from the old chap as I couldn't refuse for what I got it for.
Very well maintained car and nice spec, Identical to the above one which I also had for a while after M-sport
History and Originality is phenomenal on this, I got two a4 binders full including all its original owners pack, Even has it Motorola mobile and charger
A quick picture of it
