Going to school for Electrical Engineering at Northern Illinois, so I downsized to something more....practical. Honda Accord 2007 is the new ride. Won't kill me if it gets scratched/dented, but I will miss the 1995 740iL German land yacht IMMENSELY. But I have a silly brake fluid light that I can't track down. No leaks, pads are fine, nothing is hanging up :/

Hoping to get at least $3,500; shouldn't be bad for a rear-wheel drive, aluminum V8, with more interior space then you know what to do with, heated seats, decent traction control, etc.

I can't find the original image, but I REALLY want to put on the craigslist ad:

It's either this or a Corolla. Don't be a peasant.

OH, RANDOM: Will these wheels bolt on to/look good on the 07 Accord? Looking at them tomorrow morning.

On the wheels, they should fit since they're from the same generation. But to be certain, go by an America's Tire/Discount Tire store and they'll be able to help you out.

Not sure if this will be a lot of help, but if the 740 has a hydraulic clutch, you might wanna look at the clutch master/slave cylinders. I had a similar problem on my car a while back, it was a leaky slave cylinder, which later ruptured and almost, almost cost me the whole car because it's impossible to find replacement parts here in Brazil.

Worst part is that there wasn't a visible leak as well, at least before the cylinder ruptured, because it was slowly dripping on top of the gearbox instead of all over the floor.

The bolt pattern and hub size should match. Not sure about the offset.

Keep the original rims on that 2007 Honda, because there is no need in drawing attention to yourself, and you said that it won't matter too much if you get a few dings. Use the bucks for a decent tune-up on your new (older) ride.

Its about any OEM honda wheel on a 7th gen accord, and what it look like.

Also sad to see you have to get rid of the 7. My dad has a 740i and i think i love his car just as much as he does. Its a quality ride, that can pack a punch.
