Dude, check some of the other for sale ads here asap for the, ahem, required protocol for a forum car sale. If you can provide photos and as much detail as you can, you'll avoid getting a lot of posts telling you you've got to do it, and you'll maybes get a sale quicker.

Good luck with the sale.

Hi Tommy I like your car and think you have done very well if your not used to the forum posting bit.
This is the correct section and the info you have given is quite good.
I imagine some will want the mileage and all sorts of info.
Your saloon is the same blue green colour as my 740GLE estate and mine to is the facelift model.mine is a 1990 year.
The pictures are always welcome as I just like looking at nice cars.
I wish you well with the sale.
Regards Brian.

Well Brian,
you'll not be on my Christmas card list!

Details
 

Car has only done 91.779 miles, 3 owners from new (i'm the 3rd)
I have only owned it for about a month,
I drove it home from Milton Keynes,it drove superb,However, The next day it had trouble starting,When it did start it drove fine,but when it was left it had trouble starting,I replaced the fuel relay and it starts great,but i can not get it to idle at all,It will keep revving but as soon as u release pedal it dies,I have been told it could be a vaccum pipe? I honestly dont know,and i cant afford to get it looked at,It is most probably an easy fix if u know what to look for,which i dont,The car is in really nice condition and it will be a shame to break it,which i will have no choice to do.
If u need anymore info please let me know or you can contact me on 07944662033 or thomasmcnaught@aol.co.uk, Thanks for reading,Tommy.

Many Thanks Brian,I dont really want it to go as i really do like it,I had a 1989 740 limo before this and it never let me down,I should of kept it :-(,All The Best,Tommy.

Hooray!! Fixed and not for sale
 

:thumbs_up:

Hi Brian, Good news is, It was a pipe slipped off under the manifold,Took a mate of mine all of 2mins to find it,pushed it back on and she started and idled as she should,so running perfect now,So not for sale hooray! Once again,Thanks for your advice,All the best,Tommy.
