Or has anyone been to see it ? There has been a recent price drop of £400 and seems it could be a good buy.

I might go and have a look at it as I'm in Southampton next week

Worth a look mate for sure.

Tony.
 
I've sent the guy an email and I'll have a look at it next week unless he sells it.
 
Seems value at £4000. Most 3.0 tend to be sports though which this isnt. I assume that will have an impact on its value.

Don't know which car you are looking at?
They are in all of the photos except for the cockpit but that has got extra chrome bits as well.

My bad, that's weird I could have swore they were different in some pics. :wacky:
 
ItS over the 100k miles mythical barrier so will put off plenty of buyers I’d have thought.
Probably room to haggle.
Seems very well maintained but non sport seats and wheels would make it less attractive (we know how easy to change but most wouldn’t).


I love this bit of the ad:
test drives will only be done with full amount of cash handed in and proof of full comprehensive insurance for this car- otherwise I will be doing the driving as it’s a high powered rear wheel drive sporty roadster.

These 3.0 must be terrifyingly quick !
The one in my 330i wasn’t so maybe this one is extra special (or it’s suspension is shot and handles poorly so he won’t let you drive it!)
 
Or maybe he doesn't want somebody who has more idea than talent driving his car. Would you?

@Jack Ratt if you want I might be able to drop over when you are looking at it too. If you want a code reader slapped to check too. Happy to help.

Thanks Paul, much appreciated. I've contacted the seller and need to arrange a time to meet.
 
Some bargaining points, rust on the drivers door top, scuffed rear bumper, can't see rest of body work close. No heated seats.
