Hi All,
Long time no speak!
I sold my 4dr 325 a good while back and now through a friend I've heard about a local 2dr 316i is about to be advertised for sale. They let me have a look before advertising to see if i'm interested. They don't know an awful lot about cars but have a BMW specialist who has done all the work and estimated a sale value for them so that's what they are going with. £3k is what they were told it's worth. But I know it needs at least paint down both sides and rust prevention on the arches which I can get done along with some other small fixes within a £500 budget.
manual 2Dr local car.
Alpine White II
106k, History only since their ownership (2011) unfortunately. 4 keepers but basically an elderly person and then into this family.
12months MOT. Mechanically v.sound
Clean interior with full took kit
Sunroof (unused in recent yrs, manual)
Lux 14" BBS alloys with caps
Daily drive but sub 3k miles a year but used all year.
Fair bit of preventative work done for bodywork over the years but scabby arch lips are back and paint cracking above arches. Couple small dents I'd likely not repair (would need a wing and bonnet and I'm not keen on a full respray for the small dents as they don't detract from it).
Drivers door painted wrong shade - this leads into the requirement for paint down both sides.
