E89 Market watch

[Ole gits rule]

Just about summed it up but the last point is key to me

To add to this, despite it being on the market for so long he has increased the price a couple of times since I first saw it in March. HPI check came up with outstanding finance when I ran a check in April - as Andy said for some that's a deal breaker for others it's not. For me all the points above added up to "not worth the risk" for £18k (or about £16k as it was at the time).

While none of the points is a huge problem on it's own, at £18k for a privately bought car, half a dozen nagging doubts is about 5 too many IMO.

£18k private, I would want to be 100% certain the car is clear of finance - refurbing of wheels is not a major issue but there are to many horror stories out there

Wbac (Cinch) has just updated its valuation of my 35is - they’ve increased their offer - to match a recent Synters offer- still it’s way below what they seem be selling for and nor reflects the high spec level of my car car.
All they ask is owners, miles and service. It could be a base spec or high spec but they don't ask and give only one price.

Ron, is this like IRD’s post where it’s eventually going to lead to a for sale ad

If it is Ron should be contacting John E89 as he dropped regular hints about wanting to buy Rons car when he was ready to sell.

I think that’s pretty keenly priced, ticks most boxes apart from base stereo

Now you've got me looking on autotrader again

If its a VO 35is you want then

https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202105072313803?

The one that sold on ebay with the faulty roof a while ago is now confirmed as that one in Mansfied too, he's added photos as well as £7k's woth of value

https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202104201602028?

Now I think this is over priced personally, I wouln't touch one that one based on reverting the mods back to stock. :thumbsdown:

Im almost positive the location of the white one in the pics was used for a VO one last year. One that wasnt very well specced.

That location is used constantly for various cars - there was yellow Zed for sale with the same location and in fact they had a 23i a few weeks back

Beat me to it - I remember that one as I did seriously think about buying it

Yes it was the yellow one and also,a DSB 35.

£17k for a 23i with 45k miles? Sytner are getting a bit over confident!

The dealer selling on the eBay £14k 35iS are "specialists in vehicle sourcing" = buy broken cars off ebay, fix up, wash, pose in front of old looking local building and sell on. I would never trust a car that's being advertised by a dealer with the photos taken from that kind of location, just seems dishonest - what's wrong with admitting you operate out of an industrial unit or your mum's driveway? Last time I looked at one of their cars it was a wrapped Alfa Brera with an MOT history full of oil leaks.

What the hell are you on AT for, you’ve just got yours back

The one you list is also incorrectly advertised, it’s on as a 35i not 35iS. Looks ok bit base stereo again

Seems to be a few dealers who dont know the difference, missing out on oportunities to sell them, was there someone on here specifically looking for a VO 35iS?

No, I would like one but have other financial priorities right now, 12 to 18 months and I will be looking for one, just cant stretch to that right now.
