bollocks was it owned by one lady owner, clearly not enough car park dings and dents!

And I don't know many lady drivers who would dare tow anything so why the tow bar.

Doesn't also appear to be any scratches under the door handles where married ladies tend to leave tell tale marks from rings as they open the car door either.

ive never understood why people feel the need to add the 'lady' to the previous owners list. does that make a difference to buyers that it was a lady rather than a guy? it was owned by a lady so it must be good?id prefer a previous male owner because guys generally tend to look after cars more whereas 'ladies' dont know where the oil or water goes.

Completely agree with you there. Iv never understood it. Women are so careless with cars compared to men. Im not being sexist, just talking about the majority. Im sure there are many exceptions.

God, i would never buy a car that my mum or some women i know owned. reversed into poles, clutch slipping, rough with the gears, put them through the carwash (i will happily freeze to death washing my car than stick it through a car wash). Id much prefer a car to be owned by a male petrolhead.lol

the thing with women though is she would have thought her car was faster because it was a blue one.they tend to have no real understanding of whats faster and more powerful. i once had a girl thinking her car was faster than mine because the 6 in her 1.6 was a higher number than the 0 in my 2.0.how do you explain with logic like that? :mad:

anyone with the slightest amount of brains would know that but for some strange reason her brain could only focus on the 6 and the 0. i didnt even bother mentioning the minor detail of the turbo as i felt it was a waste of breath

I know the owner and the car. This is one of the best you will find anywhere, zero rust, zero issues, ice cold air ,working wash wipe, unused spare etc etc. This car can not be compared to most of the scrap here that people consider 'good' cars.
Personally i think the mileage is the only thing stopping it making that sort of money. I reckon it will pull £4000 ish. The owner is caked so he is not bothered and won't starve in the mean time ! :)

That's one seriously nice car - looks immaculate. 5K? No, but probably a far better car than most 325i Sports in the 3-4K bracket.

Fair enough, suppose as stated above I wouldn't trust a woman to know where the oil goes let alone change it.

1 PREVIOUS lady owner, current owner 15 years.

Does appear to be a proper car, if a touch optimistically priced.

It's the people with a bit of dough that list the craziest prices.

Having said that, it is clean, a 325i and how often do you see a spec like that?

Pay maybe £3-3.5K max.
