In Reply to: Found L7 with low 35k miles--Buy or not? posted by L7 Lover on March 24, 2001 at 22:04:47:

3 years ago I found an '84 733 with 21k on the clock. It was in a guys garage with half a dozen other neat cars (vet, mustang...nothing my speed, except this) He just wanted out. Paid a relative fortune at $12K, but who cares. 3 years and 30k miles later, I've been comfortable, rode in luxury, and still have $60,000 in my pocket over the price of a 740...

Like it? Buy it!

good luck


found an L7 with 35K original miles on the clock. Has a few concerns but am interested in other's opinions on price. Here are the particulars for the car: Paint is flawless Diamond Swartz Metalic with dove gray leather interior. Interior has been smoked in and there are two small burn holes in the area of the handbrake. There is a slight bit of wear on the drivrs upper bolster. There is what appears to be a dead foam issue in the sunroof panel which has caused discoloration. I suppose it is possible that some mositure caused it at one time or another but other than that the interior is perfect.

All records since new and always garaged. Owned by 88 year old doctor and being sold by family. The HVAC works fine. A/C blows cool but it was a cool day. Might take a half-pound of freon but probably not more. Can see slight bubbles in glass. Engine pulls strong. Trans replaced two years ago and only a few thousand miles owing to reving while getting SMOG test at dealer. Dealer replaced it. Car is totally tight. Brakes seem a little spongy. May need bleeding. New tires on TRX wheels. Car needs to be totally detailed and a couple minor trim pieces replaced like tailpipe tips dragging the driveway and a rubber trim piece under the mirror on the passenger side door.

This is not a bogus car. I have a good deal of experience buying and selling cars over the years and this is a one-owner car with records to prove the mileage. All maintenance was done at one dealer and the dealer is the one who ruined the transmission during a smog test in CA.

Price is $8,000.00 firm. Appreciate any comments.
