Completely depends on condition. A mint one with all preventative maintenance done is worth quite a bit ($25-30K) but they can be worth peanuts if there is lots of work to do, as maintenance can be pricey on the 8s.

That sounds about right but they are a hard sell, sadly. They shouldn't be, as the they are much less of a PITA than many people assume but maintaining them can be costly - particularly when the electronics start to go - as diagnosis is sometimes challenging and you have two of everything (MAFs, DMEs, DKs, etc).

didnt realise you still had that Jooles, thought it was long gone!

 

OP, dont let fuel prices sway you. any buyer isnt going to be using it as a daily so not really relevant.

Apologies for reviving an old post, but did your friend end up selling the 850i?
