The reason i’m selling is due to a new baby - so a C class estate would be a sensible option!
I’m not really all that sensible though...

I am interested in this and live local to you, please could you message me with your details so we can discuss?
Thanks,
Nathan
For everyones visiblity, you wanted £8k with both sets of wheels and springs, and to have it serviced at a specific location of your choosing before even coming down to see the car. Appreciate that you’re the other end of the country but it’s a risk i’m not willing to take.
Hi Leon,
That's not exactly correct. You said it needed servicing and you had a couple of BMW specialists near you and a local garage. I just said for me to buy it it would need to be by one of those specialists not a local garage so I knew it was done properly.JAK wrote: ↑Sat Jul 04, 2020 7:47 pmFor everyones visiblity, you wanted £8k with both sets of wheels and springs, and to have it serviced at a specific location of your choosing before even coming down to see the car.

Sounds like a good offer for you, not so much for me
I would have been more than happy to service it anywhere, had I felt we were on the same page regarding price. You told me that was your final offer - which I wasn't (and am still not) willing to consider. You're more than welcome to offer what you like, but I can't be jumping through various hoops in order to satisfy lowball offers. I don't think that's unreasonable.Big Tav wrote: ↑Sat Jul 04, 2020 8:17 pmThat's not exactly correct. You said it needed servicing and you had a couple of BMW specialists near you and a local garage.

I would have given you a deposit and taken the car not just come to see it mate.
No problems mate. Not trying to fall out with you. I think my offer was reasonable and I would have taken it at that.JAK wrote: ↑Sat Jul 04, 2020 8:50 pmI would have been more than happy to service it anywhere, had I felt we were on the same page regarding price.

FWIW, the relationship I have with my local garage is better than any specialist I've worked with - but again, I don't have to justify my reasoning if we've got differing expectations on price.
Wholly with you op , stand your ground here.JAK wrote: ↑Sat Jul 04, 2020 8:50 pmI would have been more than happy to service it anywhere, had I felt we were on the same page regarding price.

It's up to you to say yes or no and you said no. No problems
A service for £100? Come on. What sort of service would that be? A service that would need to be redone is what that is.mr wilks wrote: ↑Sat Jul 04, 2020 9:30 pmWholly with you op , stand your ground here.JAK wrote: ↑Sat Jul 04, 2020 8:50 pmI would have been more than happy to service it anywhere, had I felt we were on the same page regarding price.

The Si market is strong right now for the decent examples & the rarity of the white - interior - spec-miles will always carry favour.
Jmo but a service is £100 I'd be inclined to do that & up the ask to £8750 & not take any less than £8500.
