I did make a thread on this ages ago, but can't find it. Some of you signed up, but here are the revised details for you: Pistonheads meet on Sunday 29th September at Longleat Safari Park in Wiltshire. I'll attach a link at the bottom for you to read up on. But - The main points are: - Chance...

I need to try and check them if I can?

So literally don't accept ANY rips or tears on the roof? To be honest a rip or tear is quite extreme for what it actually was. It's hard to explain, but I'm sure a couple of you have roofs like it. It's almost like the very, very, very top layer has taken a slight nick to it. How much were the...

Thanks guys. As always these car forums are brilliant. Well. I'm doing A LOT of miles tomorrow. So the local specialist will vary depending where I find a car that interests me. This one I've seen in Bristol actually seems pretty good. 54 with 85K. Full non bmw service history, black z4 with...

That guy looks promising. I'll have to do some more digging around on him. Reviews etc before I would pick him over RAC.

Just to add to this, what about paying for a used car warranty for a couple of months. Did a quick quote for a Z4 & it said £67pm as pay as you go. Didn't look into it properly to see what it includes and I didn't check if you can cancel it. Assume you can as its PAYG. But could have that for...

Thanks for the input guys. 6K is ideally what I am looking to spend, but I would stretch to 7K for a great car. But In all honesty, the better ones seem to be around 6K in that price bracket. I can't really afford to stretch that ''extra 1.5k'' & I don't want to either. Need to be strict with...

Yes, that's the one. Lowered on coillies too. I'll try and view it on Monday if I can. The advert gave me the impression that it is very well looked after.

All depends on how they are when I view them. Two strong contenders though. Car 1) '03 plate with 98K on clock. Has nearly ALL the options, lights, folding mirrors, heated seats, etc etc, you get the idea. Full BMW service history with 7 stamps. Seems to be in good nick, but it's something I'd...

That's alright then I guess. You're still pretty far away though to be fair. Plus it's more than I wanted to spend. I guess you're pretty tight on the price as you need it to pay off the remaining finance. Shame your car doesn't have the heated seats. =[

I am really sorry that you have had such misfortune with this project. I was genuinely gutted when you said that there had been a break in.

I really enjoyed reading these comments

Yeah I think you are right. Seems to be about 1K over. There is no way he will drop 1K. I think 6K is probably the most I should be looking to spend on one too. For the age etc that I'm looking at anyway.

The bloke claims he had it advertised for £7,500. But there was no way he was going to get that in my opinion. Seems like quite a nice car, priced at 6,999 now. But it doesn't really have many extras, so I'm not sure it's worth all of what he is asking. Lowish miles, admittedly. There is...

I saw this one on Autotrader/Ebay/PistonHeads. I forget where. I thought it looked quite nice, was put off by outstanding finance. I won't lie. If you still have it in approx 3 weeks. I may be knocking.
