Is it rust free?
Interior mint?
matching tyres all round?
iS lip spoiler present?
Black roof lining?

If you want a dog to do up then pay Ԛ£600 for one, otherwise 'decent' 318iS can be had for a grand if your lucky, but for a nice condition trouble free car i would expect to pay Ԛ£1300/Ԛ£1400 +.

I know of good examples that have been changing hands now for Ԛ£3500++ !

There must only be 1000 or so of these left out there now, depending on how far you want to travel and how long your willing to wait will have a great bearing on how much your going to pay.

P.s I've got a diamond black 318iS for sale soon... (Not the one in my sig picture, Ԛ£1200, waitng for the V5 to arrive :roll: )
