If the kit is genuine and the trim in good order then there is circa 700/800 quids worth of goodies.

If its solid and straight and the engine is ok then there really isn't a lot to go wrong really.

if your gonna spend that money get a later car and add the extras it looks like a nice car but at the end of the day its a 318i not a 325i

[gooner1]

Make him an offer, worst he can do is say no.

Assuming he can afford to run/insure a 325?

As for 'later' i wouldn't give a monkeys about the year its body condition that counts.

Front bumper isn't genuine for a start. Does look alright though!

i just see that around that sort of price you can get a good 325i touring with a similar spec

Not much good if you are 18 and earn a couple of hundred a week though Whipsey

fair point

[lewwy]

well the insurance is huge issue thats why was trying to stick to 318 / 320 but seriously struggling to find one and my deadline to get a car is fastly approaching!

If I was to get 325 I could only spend £800 on it as would need extra for the insurance lol

I beg of everyone if you know of or see a nice touring please let me know

Cheers Lewwy

[whipsey]

where are you based mate

[gooner1]

...... and why the deadline lewwy?.

[lewwy]

Im based in Reading Berkshire.
The deadline is cos my crouch rocket is soon to run out of MOT and she certainly has no chance of passing without a hefty bill.

[stevotheevo]

definately not worth £1600.......1.8 with a tow bar and no history.

way better examples out there

Think you should see this thread! http://www.e30zone.net/modules.php?name ... 47#1090547

[lewwy]

Thank you I'm so glad I joined here before I brought one as might have ended up with that bucket!

Again thank you!

It's a £200 car that needs to be fragged TBH

IMO it shouldn't have passed an MOT as the crease in the rear footwell ran from one sill to the other and I suspect the tech 2 kit was fitted to disguise the damage

From 20 ft it looked ok though, and having spoken to the owners earlier in the week and had photo's of all the normal problem areas emailed to me it looked good in pics and on paper inc the fact that they new they wouldn't get the asking price

I see it's now been reduced by £400

Think i'll put in a 1p offer on it
