Thanks for your comments guys. Tbh, i thought it would have been around the £6000 - £6500 mark, but, I didnt realise they had come down so much.

After speaking to the guy, everything does sound good. He offered to put me in touch with the owner and told me a bit more about the car.

But, in the end, we couldn't agree a price. He wanted my car (BMW 330ci in for sale section) along with £300 cash. I was prepared to do a 700 mile round trip to collect the car and adding cash really isn't something I was prepared to do.
