It was me who highlighted it appeared with worrying regularity. Maybe worth asking the seller, how long its been for sale, where has it been advertised etc etc.

I watch autotrader, pistonheads and bmw auc sites constantly as I have a obsession with residuals and I distinctley remember these photos coming up over and over again. Reason I remember is the residence its parked outside,which looks like a static caravan in the thumbnails then when you click through to the large photos its actually a house.

dont make me laugh with those wise buyers prices insurance companies use glass guide thats what they are governed to use and they will pay out what it would cost you to buy a similar car from a dealer as we do not have acces to trade prices that car books in with glass at 13K with those extras and that what the insurance would and have to pay out i know as i have a recent legitimate write off claim .

Basic valuation for your specified car

Trade-in price range

Above is the price range you could expect to receive if you are part exchanging your car, this price is designed to give you a broad idea of the cars value.

If you are serious about part exchanging this car with a dealer, purchasing a premium valuation will give you the accurate price you will need to get the deal done.

£8,890.00 - £10,450.00

Need a more detailed valuatio

asyou can see thats the trade price but insurance companies pay out on retail price and an average price of what yhey are going for on ebay so about £12k get your facts straight
 
I dont know why you're coming off offensively? I was merely posting up some data on the car for people to read, its not a personal opinion or comment.

If you take into consideration the options etc, I agree the value will increase. I know nothing about insurance valuations other than that on claims, insurance companies will always try to stiff you.

You dont need to purchase a premium valuation as valuations can often be out of term especially in todays market... you cant beat doing your own research. Besides valuations will always be open to interpretation and the golden rule "its worth as much as someone wants to pay for it".

Anyway I hope my comments have helped with a constructive conversation.
 
Looks like we have a new contender..

£8,999 Highish miles but well spec'd no idea what is so underpriced..
 
Is there a prize for finding the most expensive:

Only 3k on the clock! But £20+k vs private ones at sub £10k.
