Bummer!!!

I actually seen the link on Autostadt too..

The guy I bought my car off told me about the S8 a few weeks ago, he said the owner needed to sell it and at the time it was 2500.
So when I saw it last night at 1500 I thought it was well worth them chance.

Donedeal is pure muck for listing cars, 1000 words and 10 tiny pictures is pretty poor.

If you get your asking price for that

I'll eat me Mickey ,

as we used to say years ago.
Good luck with it , perhaps leave out the impossible to run two cars bit , it's negative reinforcement.

Cheers, took it out. E38s are thin on the ground, especially Sports, even more so with relatively low miles and even more so again in perfect running order.

We'll see what happens.

It's a beautiful car Voodoo. I love looking at the photos of it.

Well you can always come down and never go up in price,best of Luck, some of our Eastern European friends might go mad for it, to use here for a while and then send it back home.

Lovely car. It just looks proper.
What's the story with the duplicate service book?

Aye, always annoyed me too, it's what came with the car. Coincides with original BMW UK invoices so doesn't bother me.

Ninap · 04-02-2014 11:12PM

Nice to see a car so well minded. Good luck with the sale

bear1 · 04-02-2014 11:12PM

Get ready for the retarded questions that will be posted on your ad now:

"Would ya swap for me Fora Kaaaa? and 10e cash your way?"

Black_Knight · 05-02-2014 12:05AM

You should charge people to view that! I do love a nice detailed car. Too bad the roads these days will make **** of your hard work.

Big Nasty · 05-02-2014 07:20AM

Hope you have it up on UK sites dude.

Yeah, I think it will be a difficult sale, especially at 4.5k. I saw the listing and was expecting in the region of 2-3k max.
Beautiful 7'er though, nicest one I've seen for sale here by some margin. GLWS.

Stallingrad · 05-02-2014 01:05PM

Lovely car, similar UK cars can be found at £4000 plus VRT, so priced fairly for someone who wants one of the best. I don't think the photos are doing it justice at all though, especially the interior, nasty blue hue off them.

Photographed outdoors in this style would be way better, also an Orient blue model.

Hope the right buyer comes along Voodoo.

Still learning this photography lark. To be honest the weather wasn't much on my side and didn't fancy driving it a distance just to get outdoor pics. Swap texts are already pouring in.

JJJJNR · 05-02-2014 01:27PM

Think if you set the film speed on your camera to ISO 100, you may get better results with the photo's.

Voodoomelon · 05-02-2014 01:33PM

100 is pretty much for the best lit situations, I couldn't go less than 400-800. Anyways, more Luxobarges!

theyre getting scarce now.

Voodoomelon · 05-02-2014 01:57PM

I just looked at the start post for this thread, it's only 6 months old. There really has been a noticeable drop in larger cars for sale on the various sites. I reckon a lot aren't even getting online to start with.

off road declaration chesnut I see.:D How much are rear windows to replace?

bear1 · 05-02-2014 02:06PM

Why didnt the person stick a picture of the damage so people could get an idea..
Storm damage, so obviously something fell on it.

Mother of God! That's the best E38 i've ever seen.

mickdw · 05-02-2014 05:59PM

In relation to the 7 series. If one was to buy a nice example of something like that, is there any kind of agreed value insurance here in ireland. It's without doubt worth more than you're average example but without agreed value insurance, I'm sure they would be offering a grand or so if a claim was to arise.

L-M · 05-02-2014 07:03PM

Lads, can we move on from Voodoo's pricing structure! Thanks

Take the camera off tungsten in future, for now you can correct colour in photoshop very easily.
Here's an example, a poster on here (sorry, can't remember who!) posted this and I couldn't help but fix it up a bit. Hope they don't mind me posting it.

No sure but I think the side windows are all double glazed on that model so back may be similar spec. In this weather unless it is dry stored the car would be letting the damp in and probably be close to ruined internally.
