It just amazes me that you could not sell it yet someone pays a few £k extra to a dealer
Could possibly be as simple as they had a trade in, looking for warranty/finance and have to pay the premium to get any of these things

Absolutely true plus £22k is a lot privately so can assume the protection by buying from a dealer has quite a bit to do with it

Looks like it’s gone, there’s no 35’s available on the BMW site today and having bought mine from Sytner there was no discount on the price, trade in or not, the sticker price was the price end of.

Its constant and why Ebay cant detect these scams quicker and block them is a mystery

WOW there's one born everyday - £30k
No questions about the specification, just a year /miles / model / owners / service history
There will be a few skimming off the £‘s from a final potential buyer.
I’m keeping it!

Why wouldn't they ask for the spec when it can differ so much

There was no facility on the page to input any data other that of service history/owners/miles - I suppose insurance companies dont ask for specs either

The less info they ask for / you give the lower the offer they make = better profit or quicker sale

Reasonable price but only one pic from a dealer is poor --- https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/listing/11493371?cId=11221086&cId=11489319&cId=11321770&cId=11319986&cId=11428264&cId=11324996&cId=11459027&cId=11403028&cId=11375252&cId=11448193&cId=11491688&cId=10750037&cId=10565988&cId=11465252&cId=11401154&cId=11456073&cId=10994642&cId=11316054&cId=10939863&cId=11493371&cId=11375066

Yeah not the best ad and if its the same dealer it as if he is not doing a great deal to each car.

It's the same dealer that listed ibroker's beautiful VO, so its surprising they've presented this one so poorly.
I’d imagine the difference is they were presented with a retail ready immaculate car with ibroker’s and a quick wash and a sticker on the window was all it needed. Looks like they’ve done the same with a not so well presented car :thumbsdown:

I clicked on this last night and on Autotrader, the pictures have now been updated and so has the price. Was £18550 now it's £18,999, there is only one reason the price has changed and that's because the phone is ringing off the hook IMO.
My insurance claim had still not been agreed (accident 2 weeks ago) and I was saving this advert as evidence for price negotiation and I don't expect it to be on long. Don't need it now though as insurace as only finally agreed to my repair this aft.
For info, the "book price" for my 2010 35iS with 52k miles was just under £13k :lol: not that it matters now but that is the value my repair was based on.
