I Need ur help guys... I've been offered £4300 plus this as part ex

http://pistonheads.com/sales/2559517.htm

As I have no knowledge of beamers I'm not sure if it's a good offer or massively overpriced. It's had 4 owners and is mot til Oct, taxed til sept...

Anyone with some insight would be appreciated thanks guys

 

umm beemers are ok electrics tend to suffer and can be expensive and trouble some after a while but to be honest the one youve linked is lowered tinted windows boy racer exhaust and probably had its **** thrashed(ok yes they have a very nice block) it will never drive or be anything like the pure sports car you have now that is built to be modified and driven hard and then some more

as for price sorry matey no idea of the uk market prices, i only look at scoobys

unless your in desperate need of the dosh then id say it was a stupid move

ps im a 45yr old car mechaic

 

Many thanks my friend, you confirmed what was already going through my mind!!

I will tell him cash sale only, no p/ex. My only concern is i really really didn't want my baby going to a boy racer

 

The Bmw is cack tbh and over priced!

 

I'm coming to that conclusion also lol. Thanks man

 

I thought my offer was very sensible?

 

Potential Nikasil engine problems iirc. wouldnt touch it.

 

hi man, your offer was good, only prob with it is the plate due to u not being able to retain in NI. did u see any u liked on friday?

 

ive told him cash only, no partex. he said he could do something but wont be til may

 

Unfortunately we didn't make it this weekend.

What I offered plus you keeping the plate to sell it yourself ment you were getting your asking price, seemed a very good sensible offer to me :-)

 

hey man, it is a very sensible offer. my worry is that i remove the plate and the sale falls through and im left with a plate and car to have to sell seperatly. if you are in the UK and want a look i will be more than happy for you to view and we can go for a spin.

 

monday morning bumpy

 

Taxing car this afternoon for 6 months, house sale progressing quickly and could really do with the deposit money.... ppl make me an offer, it will be considered!!

First to see will buy, I'm sure of that!! Now with tax car needs nothing for 6 months (mot due end sept), ready for a summer of driving!!!

 

bored bump ..... any offers... try me....

 

The worlds gone mad if you cant sell one of these i only wish id bought a subaru 5 years after i did i would have snapped your hands off.

 

Thanks man, as Ive said im open to offers and its just got the 6 months tax this week so nothing needed til MOT in Sept.

 

totally agree...what on earth is going on...i am watching this one, plus another and also selling mine. they're all without exception minters...and yet selling a good car is proving so difficult.

another fantastic car worthy of a BUMP!

 

The crazy thing is there getting broken for there trick bits which are usually fitted to the wrx, and yet if you do the maths its 1000s cheaper to buy a original and save yourself the time money and hassle.

 

Thanks for the kind words and the bump. Just got in after a drive across country roads.... BIG GRIN TIME lol

 

I can sort of see that people would sell their mods, but even standard lovely cars getting broken is sacrilege. i certainly wont be doing that.

@Alp...your more than welcome. i like bugs and yours is well nice

 

thats a bit like ruining a work of art... these cars are amazing and i would never dream of breaking it for a little extra cash. I'm still super jealous of ur PPP, plus the colour is amazing...

 

weekend bump

 

and a new sunny week bump!

 

Thanks man, looks like I may have a buyer, they are checking insurance again in morning just to be safe and then gonna let me know. Big question tho... How would guys accept payment?

He said either cash or a building society cheque? I hear cash is king but worry about counterfeit bills... Help? Lol

 

Meet at the bank, get him to withdraw cash, walk to your bank and deposit. Safest way

 

i agree...i wont accept a building society cheque...can easily be forged with the right knowhow. cash and a cash checking pen would be best...i aint ever been ripped off. fingers crossed you sell!

 

Looks like it's sold. We have agreed a price and he's gonna come with me to my bank and pay the cash in there and then. I never count my chickens etc but I'm meeting Thursday morning to do the deal.

Fingers crossed

 

sad but grtz matey

 

Yeah I'm kinda gutted and pleased all at once lol

 

Hope you`ve sold it this time matey. You know yourself it`s just a case of seeing it in the flesh. Your brothers reaction when I first showed it to you stays with me. LOL. I only got the cover 1/2 off and your brother said we`ll have it.
Me and the wife owned this car before Alp. And it really is a minter. If anyone wants a beautiful example of this model you`ve found it here.
