How many miles, wheels, history?

[Gwynleym10]

Ԛ£200-400 max

What does "good nick" mean?

Rear bushes will cost Ԛ£400 to do in garage, rusty rear arches could end up costing the same.

Might as well find one that doesn't have these problems

116k and fbmwsh, wheels dunno (not bothered as this will be a winter hack for me), good nick means only the bushes need doing and the arch has been sorted...
so no more than Ԛ£500 then???

Rear bushes will cost Ԛ£400 to do in garage,

Is this what you pay!?

[Gwynleym10]

I was quoted that in a couple of places, this was about 4 years ago as well and not in london. Think Linwar was one of them.

That's expensive!!

My local garage does them for Ԛ£60, and a quote from my local dealers was Ԛ£190 including parts.

[Gwynleym10]

Really Ԛ£60?

Seam to remeber that greenbower in haverford west wanted well over Ԛ£400.

It was also to replace the traling arm bushes...which isn't necessary really

[Gwynleym10]

Anyway rick welcome to the zone!

Ԛ£500 is way to much

I just bought a "new" (feels like it) 316i on saturday
H-reg
62 000
2 small (i'm talking 5p and 20pence) bits of rust
FSH
1 owner
Air-con!!

I got change for Ԛ£400, it also has 4 month MOT 3 tax or something.
This was from ebay, but be carfull with that.


If its solid with only small amount of rust on the rear arches and a full MOT (any tax?) and FSH I still would pay more than Ԛ£400 and thats the absalute max

[weissach]

Thanks for the welcome!
All the work will be done with a years MOT and tax
Don't know enough about them to go for the ebay option
Ԛ£400 then?? Hmmmm
