Thoughts on this car?
Hi all still looking for by next daily and a high mileage E89 / E86 is still looking favourable.
I have seen a nice white E89 with high mileage which could fit the bill if the price is right.
What are peoples thoughts on this car? Even better does anyone know anything about this car?
Thanks

Thats taken 120k very well looking at the interior pics, the fact it’s had the timing/oil pump chains & tensioner replaced makes it a safe bet for years if it sells at a good price - as always give those 326 wheels a good examination on the inside rims.

It looks a good proposition but I'd be looking at what a decent guide price for a comparable car is. I did try to get a value on it via autotrader but the system advised 'we are unable to provide a value on this car. Please contact our security team'. Not sure this bodes well but worth highlighting. Maybe other forum members know what this means.
The same seller has had it previously listed on ebay at a buy it now price of £8995.

Being pernickety the listing mentions a stop/start system. Given (from the photos) it doesn’t seem to have formal ‘stop/start’ I wonder if there’s anything else not quite accurate; was ‘stop/start’ an option on pre LCI cars?

Yeah it has. The button is next to the driver's seat heater button in the pictures.
Agree with Rob about the interior. The driver's seat looks better than mine with 27k on. Nothing on MOT check regarding cracked wheels!
I wonder what the reserve is? I'll guess £9k.
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

Its not worth £9k in my opinion but ill but looking to put a bid on it.
I expect it not to meet the reserve price if I am honest! Ill be sure to look at the wheels etc if I am lucky enough to win it.

I know that a WBAC value isn't the private market rate but it helps gauge an estimate.peeblezZ4 wrote: ↑Wed Sep 07, 2022 10:18 am It looks a good proposition but I'd be looking at what a decent guide price for a comparable car is.

That car if its in mint condition and they find nothing wrong with it to knock down the price a bit it is £5,835 before taking any fee's etc
So its not a £9k car IMO its worth more than WBAC suggest however.

Looks like they want as close to £9k as possible! Can't work out if it's a dealer. Looks like it may be.

The company below fitted the new chain and guides..... Would this put you off?
Apparently OEM parts were used, I have ask if they have an invoice for the work

The company themselves wouldn't put me off but it points to an owner doing things 'on the cheap' IMHO. That would.
