Ok, the time has finally come. Im looking at a 96' 740IL with 71,xxx miles. The car is in good shape depite a salvage title. It turns out the front end was hit yet there is no frame damage. All cosmetic damage. All of the pieces were replaced with 2001 parts. The car looks at first appearances like a calypso red 2001 740IL sport. So here are my questions. Am I ok with the 96 model year in general since all engine problems are confined to the 95' model year? What kind of problems should I look for? What do you guys think of purchasing a car through ebay? How much do you think I should pay? I am thinking of making him an offer of $14,000. The link below is the car in question. I look forward to reading your posts.

Best Regards,

The Shadowchaser
