V8 or not.

I recently reluctantly turned down what I thought was probably the best e38 740i I have seen,'99 reg, one owner from new, FBMWSH, Cosmos Black, Black unmarked leather trim blah de blah. 57k miles from new.

The - private - seller wanted £9k for it. - about £3k - at least - over value imo...

He needs to stop sniffing glue 9 grand my bum!

I guess you must have got everything sorted at work if its new car time. Congratulations

As for haggling what is This car actually worth? This is where you should be aiming.

NO Fox not yet, but I still have a nice income coming from working at the airport with my old man.

I want to read the post about you struggling to reach the pedals.

The key to successful haggling is to low-ball the first price.

Therefore, I suggest you offer him 38 pence, and go from there.
