2017 G11 740d x-drive Msport

As some of you may have seen I’m selling the car.
I bought it at the end of January with just over 120,000kms on it, it has just over 131,000 on it now and will increase slightly as it’s driven most days.
I am the 3rd owner, (1st owner 36 months, 2nd owner 11 months)
Services have been digitally recorded up until my ownership and then after purchasing I got my Indy to do an oil and filter service and inspection along with the rear discs and pads @ 123,000kms in which I have an invoice for as he can’t upload digital records to the car.
The egr cooler was also replaced by Frank Keanes through the garage I bought it in due to a coolant leak (common fault).
Peace of mind knowing this is done as I’d imagine it is costly.

Sapphire black in colour, black Nappa leather interior with anthracite bamboo wood trims,
front and rear massage seats,
360 surround view camera including GPS satellite view camera,
Harmon Kardon sound system with logic 7
Rear entertainment system with rear command control in armrest,
Soft close doors,
WiFi hotspot,
MSport brakes (nice feature and needed on the 740d in my opinion)
The list goes on, it has everything apart from heads up display from what I can see.

Taxed until June 2022 (€280pa)
Tested until Feb 2023, I put it through its first test.

The bits I have done in my ownership are as follows:

Painted both side skirts and rear bumper,
replaced both wing vents for new ones due to chips and discolouring,
gloss black kidney grilles (have original chrome ones),
M-performance boot spoiler,
de-chrome bootlid strip,
front windows tinted to match rear privacy glass,
new drivers floor mat,
new drivers rubber door seal as old one was cracked slightly,
new interior door sills x 4 (old ones heavily scuffed),
wheels refurbished,
new Mtec “C-hook” rear discs and OEM pads,
airmatic UK adjustable lowering links (have original links),
bimmec spacers all round 15mm front and 20mm rear (have original wheel bolts and lock nut key),
Two new Goodyear Eagle F1s on the rear and 4 wheel alignment.

Only reason I’m looking to move it on is that I have a goo on me for a fast petrol, I’m not long turned 28 and I’ve always had big executive type cars and I feel that I have plenty of time to own something like this when I’m pushing on in age ��*♂️
I want to get the petrol buzz out of my system now while I can.
I’m looking €45,995 ono. So if anyone is interested or may know somebody that’s interested by all means message me.
Don’t mind holding onto it so it won’t go for peanuts, this car was over €140k new.
I have a full Cartel report from when I bought it saved in my emails which I will happily forward onto anyone that wants a look.

Thank you for your time.

Also I would consider an exchange my way for an F10 M5, Mk7.5 Golf R, Audi RS3, A45 AMG, M4, etc.
Something petrol powerful, high spec and interesting. A 2014 Sakhir orange LCI F10 M5 with orange leather would be top pick or M4 in same colour.
The Golf R would have to be a low milage 2018 (310bhp model), pan roof, dsg, stop/start button, leather, virtual dash.
2016 Rs3 must haves are pan roof and super sport seats.

Again if you’s know of anyone drop me a message

I've never seen a Sakhir orange M5, I imagine you'd have a difficult enough time finding one on these shores!

Buddy was gonna buy a Sakhir Orange m5 in Dublin, the car looked amazing. But unfortunately had a bad past so he had to pass on it.

Would most likely take €44,000 for this or very very close to it. Some car for the money.

Haha, well in regards to the Golf R I feel this extras are must haves anything after that is a bonus wouldnt buy one without those options, also an RS3 would have to have pan roof and supersport seats, seen a lot without and interior wise they just
Look so basic. The M-cars I feel need to be a proper “M” colour IMO, MC blue, Sakhir orange etc. Just my 2 cents

I'm only messing, good to be firm on spec.

I have a Golf R myself but it's an earlier 2015 mk 7, also a manual as its what I prefer. Great car and very reliable for me in the two years I've owned it. I have a few small bits and pieces done to it and it's really enhanced the driving experience.

For me the Pretoria wheels are a must have.

Yea they’re a cracking car great all rounder, beautiful in LSG too, Pretoria’s yes but I do also like the Spielberg’s on the 7.5 I must say.

Price drop folks €44,995 if you know of anyone that may be interested.
Will listen to offers over €43k.
Cartel market valuation on Carzone, values the car at €51,450 as of today (26/07/21).
Probably not entirely accurate but not a stones throw away either. Really is a lot of car for the money compared
To similarly priced lower spec 730d’s out there.
Have a car pretty much lined up to purchase just need this gone first.

Loads of silly offers over the phone and no viewers, will take €43k for this. Thought a car like it with the spec it has wouldn’t be too hard to push on ��

It's no reflection on the car I suspect, but your potential pool of buyers for this type of car for a private sale will be small. Most potential buyers would be willing to pay a premiem for a garage warranty. Have you looked at maybe getting a comprehensive 3rd party transferable warranty - might entice more genuine buyers ?

I'm not talking about the mickey mouse entry level 3rd party engine/drivetrain ones with more exemptions than inclusions....:rolleyes:

I’ve looked into “carprotect.ie ” alright but have heard mixed reviews

Stunning car, but I agree with big H your pool will be very small as there's not alot of people willing too, or have 40k plus cash to spend on a car. Especially one that will depreciate at a fair rate. Most people would rather finance at that price.

I have no doubt it will eventually sell, but it might take awhile and the longer it takes the more the car is going to depreciate and there maybe more price drops required. So if you're keen to get rid of it fast it may be better to bite the bullet and trade it in.

Have a guy who lives not too far from me coming Tuesday evening for a viewing. First one to call me and ask sensible questions. Donedeal is rampant with tyre kickers in the last couple of years I’ve noticed.

Good stuff hopefully you get sorted and put out of your donedeal misery. I hate putting anything on donedeal and avoid it if I can.
