Its over what I would pay for it already.

I viewed it for 5 seconds today as its a 1 minute walk from my work. wheels are in good nick, but with nasty tyres abiet legal.

Leather is cracked to fuck and drivers seat has seen much better days in general. On the other hand it has a 13button OBC, front fogs.

The garage are cocks, won't end early :)

The question of why it failed an MOT is unanswered, an explanation from the garage or in the advert is surely a critical?

Garage said and I quote "The car is to old to justify wasting an hour of there mechanics time bothering to MOT it as the car is just to old to warrant it"

I paid £220 for a 320 Touring 6 mths ago...no MoT, but nothing major wrong with it and with almost mint bodywork...No rusty arches, etc...

Didn't have leathers or OBC, but the interior is as mint as the outside.

On the road, fully MoT'd for under £450

Given the amount of tinworm that that one has plus the unknown issues waiting to bite, I'd say it has reached it's max price...
