2000 BMW 740iL Needs Work Absolute Sale

2000 BMW 7-Series Base Sedan 4-Door Description

This car is offered for sale by SUN AUTO 136 E Midland Ave Winder GA 30680.

Thank you for looking at my auction. I sell vehicles differently than most dealers.I do not operate a full service retail lot. I sell almost exclusively on ebay and sometimes in Craigslist. I personally road test each vehicle before it is offered for sale so I can give you my first hand opinion of how it runs and drives. Please keep in mind that I am not a mechanic. Each vehicle is represented accurately and honestly to the best of my knowledge and ability. Please take the time to read this entire description as well as our Terms & Conditions carefully BEFORE asking questions or placing a bid as most answers can be found in at least one of those places. An administrative fee of $100 will be added to the final bid of each auction.

Up for auction is a 2000 BMW 740iL with the 4.4L V8 engine. I would rate the exterior of this BMW to be in AVERAGE CONDITION for its age and mileage. As you can see, this is a decent looking car. As with any older vehicle, please expect a few flaws and imperfections commensurate with age and mileage.Please take your time to check out each of the photos carefully.

I would rate the interior of this BMW to be in AVERAGE CONDITION for its age and mileage. The car has not been cleaned. The glove box latch is broken. The parking brake release handle is broken. The air conditioner does not blow out any air. Again, please take your time and check out each of the photos carefully.

Mechanically, this BMW runs and drives but idles roughly and has a noticeable timing chain rattle. The rattle however goes away at highway speeds and the car does run smoothly at highway speeds. That being said, I would not advice that the car be driven any considerable distance until the timing chain is fixed.

I didn't notice any leaks and the engine doesn't smoke. The suspension feels ok. Steering and braking feel ok too. The front tires are worn. The engine does not overheat and feels strong in spite of the timing chain issue. The check engine light is on probably due to the bad idle/timing chain. The automatic transmission engages smoothly and shifts properly with no issues.

Thanks for looking and good luck bidding.
