A local lot has a 2000 740IL with 123k miles - sort of tan/grey/lite purple
color.

It has not been detailed and has some stitching coming loose, a few
scratches, cup holder won't close, cig lighter container won't close.  Feels
and drives good.

They are asking ~$16k. I've seen them go for several thousand less on ebay.

What are typcial problems with this car?  What might go wrong soon or cost
lots of $$?

What do you think is a good price for it?

The radiators are poorly made, seems to be more of an issue in US cars.
Maybe due to higher temperatures?
