Help me find a good 35I DCT!

sunnydays · Post by **sunnydays** » Sat Dec 03, 2016 10:04 pm

Hey all,

Been a little while since i have posted here. After eyeing up these cars for a long while it appears their are barely any for sale! And the few that are available on auto trader are either poorly specced or from a dodgy dealer.

Budget: £15.5k

Saw a 35is with 33k on the clock go for 17k and a 35i DCT go for 16k with only 17k miles on the clock.

I am eager to buy but seems like the market is pretty dry at the moment.

Satnav and coloured leather are essential

Anyone know where to find a good one of these?

Thanks

You're likely to struggle with that budget. I recently bought a 28i for just under £20k with 30k miles on a 2014 plate and very well specced.

Actually entirely possible but an older car. Well I say possible but perhaps not 'good' whatever your definition of that is.

Why didnt you try to negotiate on these?
They dont seem far off you budget

2009 or 2010 is fine by me. I have seen a 35is with 50k miles go for 17k so i thought this was a decent price point.

2009 and 10 is fine by me. I dont consider that old by any means. Coloured leather and well specced ie satnav are ideal.

Thank you for all these

The 1st car lools very good, slightly out of budget made an offer of 15.5 but was declined.

2cnd car the garage has bad reviews online. That car has been up for weeks seems dodgy.

3rd car dont like the interior.

4th car dont like the colour (could be wrapped) but seems to be very bare with not extras at all.

5 is a manual, after auto ideally.

6 i have called numerous times no awnser. This was for sale weeks ago but was pulled off and has now reappeared. Either way no awnser

2nd car was ours. Sold to WBAC, can't comment on the dealer who's now selling it.

Mechanically very sound, we had it for 4.5 years, FSH, oil change every year. Needs lots of paint though, it was our DD, if WBAC haven't sorted it since we sold it to them, then both bumpers, bonnet and side skirts needed a respray when we sold it as well as all wheels could have done with a refurb due to light curbing.

Running Eibachs and Michelin Pilot SS, not mentioned in the Auto Trader ad. Also has LUX angel eyes.

PM me if you want any other details, just remember, it's not me who's selling it
