Update - viewing cancelled. As others have suggested the car is for sale at a strong price based on the work required and the mileage.

The seller has said there is no negotiation on price so ive decided to leave it.

shame, the stratus grey looks amazing!

It’s a buyers market. The prices are not as strong as they were a year or two ago.
Keep looking. Something will come up priced correctly in the current market.

Apart from being fecking filthy, that seats looks pretty good to me (for a 15 year old car). As said above, some leather cleaner, a bit of colour-matched dye and some leather protection from Furniture Clinic or similar and bit of elbow grease should get that back to being very presentable.
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

F31 320i. Good car.
E89 20i Now fully dried
Z3 'free litre'. Project and a half. Complicated!
Mazda3 sold
Tatty old R56 Mini Cooper. Money pit!

I don't blame you - who expects to get full asking price for a car that needs some work? :?
