I wanted to buy this car and inspected it at independent garage at Basingstoke. I would like to warn you off few things that has been revealed.

N/S/F WHEEL SET FURTHER BACK THAN O/S
TYRE HAS DEEP CUT IN TREAD
WING PAINTED POORLY, HAS HAD LOTS OF PAINT ALL OVER CAR
SCRATCHES TO ROOF
WHEEL BUCKLED
WING GAP INDIFFERENT TO OTHER SIDE
ONLY 1 HOUR SPENT SO MAY BE OTHER ITEMS FOUND, SUGGEST FULL CAR INSPECTION

Car is dangerous to drive. Think twice before you buy it. Seller didn’t informed about those issues. Inspection report available on request.
 
Possible over reaction?

Paint/bodywork issues aren't dangerous and the wheel alignment issue might be normal wear and tear, fixable easily by an adjustment or rubber bush replacement.

Buckled wheels aren't uncommon, particularly if 18/19" on a BMW fitted with runflat tyres.

Dream purchase? probably not as it sounds like it's had a badly repaired prang.

Really :? if the wheel is noticeably out of line against the other side & the panel damage , wheel , tyre are all on one front area wouldn't you add 2 + 2 together & assume a heavy impact ? I know i would & id be trotting the opposite direction :wink:

Wheel set back into the arch is not wear and tear.

If the description and cat D don't set your alarm bells going then not a lot will ...
 
This is the second time recently someone has posted about a car to be avoided. HERE WAS THE LAST ONE
As I said then, I think it would be an idea to have a specific section where people can post details of 'cars to be aware of' as a quick reference for anyone looking to buy.
Any thoughts?

Yeah a known cars section would be a good shout.
It would be good if the reg was in the title too so we could do a quick search before we go to see a car.

I know of an E86 coupe which I would add!!
