Sounds to me like the guy has a POS for sale and knows a knowledgeable buyer will see right through him and the vehicle. Best avoided particularly as he doesnt seem to have a clue why you would be looking for matching treads on a 4x4. Or perhaps he does.......

Ive got the same age/model as my daily and upgraded to 20” alloys but bought brand new matching tyres for exactly that reason. When I bought it, the guy had one of the fronts on the back / back on the fronts!Darkangelv2 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 16, 2018 12:43 pmBy the way - the reason for the question on mixed tyres is that it can cause stress on the transfer boxes on X3s so would be something i would look to rectify if they were not matched.

Cool! How long have you had it and how’s it been?
I’m looking specifically @ a 2006 because the engine got updated in 2007 to the model that likes to slacken it’s own timing chain!

Mines a 2005 3.0d, absolutely love it. It’s such a great allround car, really is quick and handles great. Interior is a bit dated but I quite like the simplicity tbh although I’ve got a parrot fitted. Leather seats are really good quality and the boot is huge.Darkangelv2 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 16, 2018 8:04 pmCool! How long have you had it and how’s it been?

Only issue I’ve had out of the ordinary is the turbo. Had a recon fitted for £650 and (touch wood) been fine since last July.
Im always looking at cars and the one problem is finding something as good that isnt £10k plus more expensive. Mines done 120,000 but you would never know!

What a spectacular bell end. Sounds like he knows it's a dog and anyone going into detail, isn't going to be fooled.

A prime reason why I never sell or buy second hand cars anymore, the whole process is far too painfull in this day and age.
Not defending the sellers attutude but it might just be he's had a lot of timewasters and lost the will.
