Just found an underpriced '91 740 with 115,000. Is it worth it?

You didn't mention your geographic area, which matters. I can tell you this, $3995 is an "asking* price and with the SRS light on I'd offer them about $2500. Now if that seems insane to you consider this?. I made my living for 5 years selling used cars, and even if we only paid $900 for some car, we *always* marked it up $2000, it's standard operating procedure for the most part. They'll take the $2500, but they will make you work for it. They'll say ? "Oh no we could never do that why we could wholesale it for $3250 and try and make you feel like a fool. They will try every dirty manipulative underhanded lying sorry trick they can. Bottom line is not one of those guys gets paid a dime till you buy a car. Stick to your guns, look on ebay completed auctions, do you HOMEWORK, and then go buy a good car, WORTH THE MONEY, and by the way the Kelly Blue Book you reference is in the car business known as a "selling tool".... oK? I know it's on the net it's still a seeling tool. You can buy '90, '91, etc740s all day long for under 3k. It's a SELLING TOOL

What gets me is people never wake up to the car dealer bullshit. I am amazed when year after year they feature a suited idiot on the TV swearing by God you can buy a car for "No money down and ONLY $199.00 per month..." Right, thats why I got out of it, I prefer honest ways to make a living.
