daz

you should bite his hand off for that Ãƒ”šÃ‚£700. thats alot of money for a 320i with an mot!

sell morsels off the 325i then frag the rest.

you will have close to the grand in your pocket. this will buy you a proper e30 with an engine.

do the deal daz, that sounds quite reasonable to me, shame as I quite like the look of that grey leather you got from Smithy

thats a doosie mate! like I said in the PM a non MOT'd 320i is worth Ãƒ”šÃ‚£300 at very MAX!

Ãƒ”šÃ‚£700 for it and a breaker worth about Ãƒ”šÃ‚£3-400 in parts is a steal.

that'd get you a 316i mint shell and an m30 3.5 to go in it

alternatively a decent late 316i touring is about Ãƒ”šÃ‚£1200ish.......

i know mate been trying to keep them but if i do the cash goes down plus he wants em in the car have tried my hardest to hold on to em

what can i get for sport cream leather with a fooked drivers seat??? Ãƒ”šÃ‚£150/Ãƒ”šÃ‚£200

trying to think sensible but my heart says keep her but as jonb said i coul;d get a better car and better engine with a grand to play with

stillm getting the black 1 from matt that was at ferrybridge so could just get that and bank rest till its built up to a g again

Damn this is hard ive got too attatched to this car

I would just do exactly like Jon has suggested, you're gonna have that nice 320 coming from Matt, so you have a comfortable reliable daily hack, get what's left on your driveway fragged/sold on. Plus the 325 you would inherit in this deal.

That way you can continue to drive around in 6 pot rightness and easily have a grand in the kitty if not more to source a 316 tourer and then the bits to make it into whatever beast you like. Just keep back any bits you will need for a conversion, such as rear end etc if you get something without discs.

I think you have to have a defiinite project in mind though otherwise you will end up with bits all over the place or having to buy stuff you previously had.

don't suppose you know somebody at a test station who will say you were booked in and on your way to as test do you?

Post Mon Oct 10, 2005 4:27 pm

sadly not mate

but i may be able to sort it

how much is the fine for no mot?? used to be Ãƒ”šÃ‚£40

Post Mon Oct 10, 2005 4:29 pm

can't remember mate, don't think No MOT is a fixed penalty, sure that's a day at the mags and a means tested fine but I could be wrong. It's been 10 years since i did criminal law

Post Mon Oct 10, 2005 4:32 pm

cheers fella
how can i find out??

im unemployed any way so hopefully will be smallllllll fine lol

i always thort it was a standard fine

Post Mon Oct 10, 2005 4:44 pm

try this site fella, fully of useful info

looks like No MOT is fine limited to maximum of Ãƒ”šÃ‚£1K, but there is a fixed penalty option

The Ãƒ”šÃ‚£1000 is the maximum fine a court can impose and would only arise if you were a serial offender on this subject and were rather flush. If you can show you are unemployed and a string of bills you are unlikely to get done for more than Ãƒ”šÃ‚£100 IMO. Unless something can be sorted

but think MOT's go on computer now so maybe not as easy as it used to be.

You'll get done for failing to produce too assuming they bother to check you produce (they don't always) so sit still for the time being and just wait for that wonderful "on her majesty's service" envelope to arrive
