Car does look nice in the pictures but a new set of wheel nuts that would take 10 minutes to change job done,stone chips not a problem if you know people in the game,the worst thing I could say about the paint is at the back which is a bit orange peeley but fine wet and dry gets rid of and it’s not a porshe paint job is it,should see some of the brand new merc paint jobs,think wot ever car any of us get we will allways find fault or something we want to change,

It's a 12-year-old car, that isn't an exotic and isn't 'expensive'.....really don't understand some people's expectations If you want the best, then don't go and look at a 'cheap' car and then moan about the problems/cost to get it up to an 'A1' standard. There is always Hexagon if you want perfection.

I was happy with the car as I can see further than me nose but everyone is different and the minor bits that some might feel need doing are reflected in the price paid but let’s not forget a car is for driving not just looking at so it will get stone chips and the odd scratch,my Datsun 260 Z is 40 years old and mint condition but it has a stone chip on the front valence but I can’t be arsed to get it done cos it doesn’t bother me,hope you get your perfect car

Welcome to the forum (finally) sewega. Even if you seem to be leaving it too!
Just the fact you have made that offer would increase my confidence - it's one of the reasons I prefer to buy privately. You can get a feel for how the car has been looked after if you talk to the owner, but a trader can't give you any insight into that.

I'm fairly sure this was for sale Q3/Q4 last year at the same garage, photos from the ad (AT) looked great. Shame.WillP wrote: ↑Tue Jun 12, 2018 11:55 am I went to see the imola red MC at Seymour Pope yesterday - complete waste of time...having been told over the phone that it's condition was immaculate.."be prepared to be blown away by it's condition which totally defies it's 50k miles.." i asked about stone chips...he replied that there weren't any, maybe one or two...asked about the alloys - immaculate was the answer...so 2 1/2 hour drive to see it...the front looked like my son had used his 410 shotgun on it...peppered with stone chips, small bubbling rust on the front edge of the bonnet..alloys were defo not immaculate, wheel bolts were all rusty as well...looked a really poorly looked after car...very sad as it looks stunning in the photos...so others beware!

A bit naughty to not declare that in the advert. I would be be expecting something to be amiss at that price but if I were looking to buy trust in the seller would now be gone and I wouldn't consider it.LostBoy_84 wrote: ↑Sat Jun 16, 2018 12:11 amWorth mentioning the £17k one is a CAT D.Neilson wrote: ↑Fri Jun 15, 2018 11:32 pm First real post, but a couple of stunning Z4M Coupes on PistonHeads tonight...
