1987 L7, a good car to buy? :-) (archive)

Yes I am new here :-) As I understand from searching around the last few minutes that an '87 L7 is a luxury variety of a 735i. (E23..yes i am THAT new to this maker) Can anyone elaborate as to what is "in" this car as it were? A friend from work is selling his, it has about 110k miles and has initially thrown out a price of $5,000 (US) from what I recall it is in beautiful shape (he hates driving) Apparently has all kinds of service records from a long-time friend/servicer (who happens to live down the block from him :-) The seller mentioned that one of the "engine-shock-absorbers" (or somesuch) is shot and needs to be fixed/replaced. (How serious is this problem btw:-)

Thanks for your thoughts on this car!
