'96 740 IL

[bandja]

Test drove a '96 740IL, w/ 98,000 miles last night. Seriously considering making an offer to the "individual" on this car. It is in exceptional condition (literally like new) with full service records dating to new. I know what the book value is. Currently have a '92 735i that will probably be sold. I ususally have older BMWs so I am not real savy on one ONLY 8 years old. (I am splurging....Kids are now educated and gone!!!) My questions to you are:

Any advice?
What do you consider this car to be worth, from an individual, in the US Midwest?
Any particular parts or components that need special scrutiny?
