Sure if a vehicle is in high demand people will pay more (that's a given), but for a '96 S420... that price is too much for what I've seen around my area. Dealers markup to markdown. It's a common vehicle that's overpriced in my area.
$8900 for a 1998 740il. $7600 for a '95 S500. Obviously they'll have issues, like anything used/old.
You're obviously informed such as I and look for deals and know how to shop.

I have seen a lot of auction cars. Not really my forte'. Even at the dealer auctions you don't get a lot of time with the car if your even lucky enough to get it out on the road. I have seen and driven a lot of used cars and easily get annoyed by owner neglect.
I recently saw a beautiful low mileage Ferrari Mondial in a rare Azure Blue that I would have loved to buy. When I saw the previous owner had used duct tape on the top and was using bungee cords to hold one of the latches in place I could not even consider the car anymore. If you can't afford a $1800 convertible top you probably can't afford the $12K service appointment either. Other than the top the car was perfect but the make shift repairs spoke volumes about the original owner's care of the car.
