    Default Thinking of selling 95 540, no clue what to ask

    After almost 10 years I'm thinking of selling my 95 540 and I have no clue what it's worth. Edmunds, Kbb, Cars.com are all over the place for price. Just looking for some reasonable guesses as to what I should ask

    Here are the details:
    -white/ tan interior, 6 speed manual
    -91,000 miles, It had 48,000 when I bought it in 11/99. I haven't driven it much especially in the last 5 years since I work from home.
    -8 1/2 front and 10 inch rear Rondel 58 wheels - still really good rubber - less than 10,000 miles
    - still have the original basket weaves with Blizzaks mounted on them
    - Heater core 49,000
    - clutch and flywheel 60,000 miles
    - radiator, power steering hoses 65,000 miles
    - water pump and intake manifold gaskets 66,000 miles
    - Front struts 68,000 miles
    - Lemforder control arms and bushings 71,000 miles
    - rear pads and discs 82,000 miles

    - Most of the work was done by Orr in Minneapolis. I now live in NE Wisconsin

    The door bottoms are rusty, the front driver's side bolster is ripped - see pics and front spoiler underneath is cracked from snowbank this winter,

    Do you guys think I could get $4- $5000?

    I still don't know if it's Nikasil or not (never really wanted to know) but it did pass a leakdown at 61,000 that I had done just to ease my mind.

    Thanks for any opinions. Oh and if anybody is interested let me know

    4-5000 sounds about right. Six speed is a rare item, so you have that going for you. Not to mention some very nice Rondells that look awesome on it.

    Nikasil should not be an issue. You obviously don't have any problems with the engine.

    Looks really nice despite the little bit of rust.

    Fix the bolster... even if it is a patch... that is a sore thumb.

    I love those wheels!

    Price is right... and if the repair for the rust is not much... you can ask for a bit more.

    Yeah, that thing just looks nasty. I'll head to the fabric store and look for a nice tan patch
