I'm looking to buy a 118d off a mate with 120k miles.
The issue with the car is that the flywheel and clutch are shagged, I'm looking to buy this car how much should I be paying?

2006, Sport (not m sport), the overal condition of the car is good just a few parking dings. It deffo needs a good clean and service. Also when the clutch is depressed it sounds like a f00king helicopter :D

Not a problem, my father is a BMW tech. All I need to know is the real value of the car

Thanks BSS, what would you say the value of the car would be prior to having the clutch and DMF replaced?

Well it's about a £1200 job to fix at a Bmw dealer so knock that off the sale price?
