I'm posting this here because I feel like ill get more replies

This is my car it is a 1994 BMW 740 il
It has aftermarket rims
Runs but needs work
Needs new spark plug wires that cost $130
Has a slow transmission fluid leak.
Ac currently doesn't work ( wiring issue it keeps blowing the fuse)
has sun roof automatic windows power locks

Ok so my question is how much would you sell/pay for this car? I plan on full disclosure of any and all problems to potential buyers I just need a starting point price wise.

It will vary by area. Cars are pretty cheap where I live and you could probably get that car for $1500-$2000 here with full disclosure and it's problems

True. Heck id be willing to put them on for them lol ( spark plug wires are super easy to change as long as you do them one at a time)

No clue, every area is different.  Try looking for similar ads in the paper or on Craigslist to see what things are priced at and then be prepared to take $ off of your asking price.   It's a pretty old car with expensive parts and labour so honestly not too much I'm thinking.
