car seems tidy enough tho, 1200 seems a sensible price if it is as clean as he says

Not sure if the bidding wil go up to Ԛ£1200 as he has no feedback...but you never know as it does look tidy apart form the ridiculas claims on power....

Thanks for the replies.....so Ԛ£1200 is about right for her? Only thing is the guy has no service history book...but so long as she drives as well as he states then I dont really mind!

Cant wait to get in her!!

As your doing it outside ebay, just make sure you have a real good look over it when you get there! Then you should be fine

Ԛ£1200 is cheap for any 325i in good condition.

I have spoken to this guy and he really has no idea how hard it is to get more power from an m20 engine.

Anyway Stu, just make sure its not a rusty turd. In excellent condition a 325i is worth in excess of Ԛ£2000 all day. People pay good money for good cars and its not just the sports that are worth something.

Cheers Simon,

He actually said that he would bring it up to me tomorrow morning.....as I have no car at present to get down to see it. So he must be pretty confident that everything is as it should be.....if he gets here and its a pile of crap, ill just tell him to go away!

Lets just hope its as nice as it appears!

Must be confident then! I have seen the car about a few times, and although I've never actually been up close, it does look like a nice car, always catches the eye..

When I've seen it, it's beem when I've been driving, so didn't get close enough to hear it properly, or look at it up close, but from what I've seen, it looked nice.
