Barge value?

[richyb]

Hello guys, I am looking for a few perspectives on my cars value. I've only had it about 8 months and bought if because of the various bargain barge threads on here. I absolutely love the car and have taken really good care of it (two oil changes in that time and 6K miles as well as air/micro filters, plugs, replacement badges, etc) but my situation is changing and I am doing a lot of towing (Out of work so can't use the hilux often). Have a look at the info and let me know what you think. I've autotradered 40 miles of my house and its pretty well placed imho.



BMW 740iL (4.4 V8 M62 engine)
V reg (pre 2001 road tax)
133,000 miles.
FSH (last service at 127,500 not including any work I've done)
Good condition inside and out.
All the Electrics including massaging front and rear adjustable seats.
11 months tax
4.5 months MOT.

What do you reckon???

I reckon 4.4 V8's are ideally suited for towing.

Probably but not 3 tons of logs across a muddy field!

Glad to see all the positive feedback. The main thing that attracted me to the car a year ago was the fact all the common failure points have been replaced only 30k miles ago so should have years before they would be a concern. In regard to the wheels they are the Evo 2's from the 330ci I believe. The previous owner put them on. I don't have the originals unfortunately. I think they look quite nice on the car though. In terms of the wrong offset, could you tell me a bit more? I've not experienced any issues during driving (vibration etc). The previous owner was a bit of an enthusiast too so could had any issues corrected.

After some thought I've decided to put it up for sale. Advert went up this morning. Not generally interested in a px but I will say I am specifically looking at Nissan Patrols as a the replacement. Thanks guys.
