Can't really give you a figure but that's too much especially if it's not a Lux.

Cheers Zayyan, I dont know what a lux is, but I guess it would say if it was....? Seen pics of it and it looks really nice, and the guy reckons it has no rattles etc.....

Appreciate the help, perhaps Ill try and beat him down.

Thanks again,
baz

really? as low as that, i can try it i suppose, nothing ventured....i think i would probably be happy enough to pay around but no more than a grand for it, as the 316i I have been dricing round for 3 years has (until now ) been A1 in terms of ride quality and reliability.

Cheers for the feedback lads,
Baz

Well I think it's a big selling point.

You get:
Body-coloured bumpers which make a big difference to the looks.
Front fog lights.
62 litre fuel tank as opposed to 55.
Different interior and "Sports" steering wheel.
6-button on board computer.
Rear head rests.

Perhaps a few other things but I can't remember.

I have to say, it is a f***ing corking looking motor, loooooovvvveeellllyy. I am quite keen, I was going to get rid of my 316i and get a golf, but then I saw this little bobby dazzler....

cheers for all the feedback - it is adam318's car by the way, didnt realise until you mentioned it. Having seen this, I now know that it has been in a prang, but it looks to have been repaired well, and had I not seen it on here, I never would have known. This in itself doesnt bother me overly, providing he had it repaired pukka, and it certainly looks that way. Having said all this, I still wouldnt pay what he is asking for it, but I might still stretch to a grand!

Cheers and merry Xmas

I will be in touch once I have seen it, and let you all know what I think and if I bought it!!

Baz Grateful.
