Going to look at one on Friday to maybe PX with my ST , its a 55 plate and done 70k.

Anything I should look out for ?

 

Make sure it's got a reasonable spec, otherwise trying to sell it will be as easy as trying to fuck a girl with an inverted cock.

Turbo Turbo Turbo!!!

 

What sort of spec makes it reasonable ?

Never had a BM, so don't know whats standard.

Its got leather and Cruise control, don't know if that was optional

 

xenons, sat nav?

 

nope and nope

Would like xenons, not bothered about sat nav

 

aircon is vital of course but i would assume they would all have that

 

Leather will have been optional, not sure if cruise was standard on the 320d as it was with larger engine models... I know the 330d of that age came with it as standard.

Sat-Nav will have an impact if you try and trade the car in.

Other desireable features will be bluetooth, park distance control, heated seats if it's got leather and centre armrest off the top of my head.

What colour is the car? What wheels are fitted? Is it an ES, SE or M-Sport?


Cheers,
Grant

 

320d se , dont know what the wheels are, but they look small. Will replace them with some 19" Msport ones though.

This is the car, swapping mine plus Ł500, if all goes well Friday

Get the later one with the more efficient engine and more bhp (177 bhp). Think they start on a 57 plate. Don't be worried about miles so long as it's got FSH. I wouldn't personally want an ES spec one, SE is decent but M-sport is the one obviously

 

drive it first.... and your opinion will be made up....
my first drive of this model i felt cramped ( and i aint the biggest of people 5ft8 ) they do go very well and handle very well but this aint the car to be thrashing... it is a motorway eater!

edit... i drove a sport model with run flat tyres... Avoid like the plague! as hard as nails is an understatement!

imo E90 is the worst model made.. (everyone had an E46 back when they were new, there are reasons you dont see many E90's and why u see more A4's and A6's... just my opinion

 

That car is far too expensive IMO!

 

I'm not going to get a 57 for this money.

I'm getting a diesel cause I'm skint.

 

I got a 57 plate for a friend at a dealer for Ł9300, 1 owner, 82k, FBMSH, leather, auto, 17" alloys etc... Absoultely mint inside and out with no paint repairs. Only 6 month warranty mind.

 

You dont say, my mates just struggled to sell his m sport 535d low mileage all because it didn't have sat nav had just about everything else you can think of but when you mentioned no sat nav it was like telling people the engine is knocking badly

 

How much did he want for it?

I soooooo wanted one before I got the Golf.

 

I got this one down to Ł7500 as I know the chap working there.

 

He wanted 14k but ended up taking 13650 for it, was mapped and made a proper awesome all round car imo so now the search begins for an rs4/s5

 

If you are skint why not consider a buying a car instead of a badge?

 

Bet it was awesome dan

Hope he has deep pockets for all the fuel he will be putting in

 

tried to tell him his favourite quote is " how many miles will i get for 20 quid " as the better the cars have been getting the lower the miles ive been telling him but where getting into " you will be able to start it and make it to the garage with 20 quid "
