Friend at work really wants a BMW 330ci and has £22K cash to pay for it...

He's been to the BMW dealer and seen one up at £22K (2000 X-reg, 25K miles plus a few extras).. probably get some off this..

Any advice on where to get a nice one now?????????

I don't understand the problem...

Your friend has £22k;
The dealer has the right car for the same money;

Why doesn't your friend just buy that car if he likes it?

If there's something wrong with that car, then Auto Trader is always a good place to look for alternatives - am I missing something?

Who says its the right car , only he knows that....unless he looks around and asks he won't know.

He's on the case with Top Marques and Autotrader but wanted some constructive comments on possible Euro imports or discounts at any dealers come the end of the year.......

cheers anyway

Bobby,

If he doesn't buy it, I might be interested. I've been thinking about getting a 330ci for a while now - only problem is, I'll have to sell my scooby first. Can you give me a few more details? Is it a UK car, or euro import? Is it leather interior, and what colour? CD player? Got any pics? You can mail me (as per profile) if you like.

Cheers,
Andy

Bobby,

Is it a Sport? The one in the pic looks like a sport. Or is it just a standard 330ci with the same alloys as a sport?

Not sure about the red leather - i would have preferred black. I'll see if I can find some pics online of the red leather interior. What is your timeframe for selling? As I haven't even put my car up for sale yet, it might be a while before I'm in a position to buy.

cheers,
Andy

Not a sport, niether is the pic. Leather is lovely, but I suppose it is a love it - or hate it kind of thing. Not really selling the car, but if someone wanted to buy it I would consider a change. I'm not adverising it for sale anywhere.

Bobby,

You don't fancy a swap for a MY00 Impreza Turbo + some cash, do you?
