Parkers?

Scania · 10 Jan 2008 at 19:06

If its a later e46 116bhp engined model ,then I'd imagine ball park £4k private £5k dealer.

Don't fancy paying for a valuation just yet. I simply want a rough price as to what it's worth.

Assuming its an e36 4 door saloon, I'd say private circa £2.5k, at a dealer add another grand to the price.

Sorry missed this information out.

It's an E46 4 Door Saloon.

What do you mean? Parkers says between £4-5k...

its free?

ajgoodfellow · 10 Jan 2008 at 19:15

If you want it adjusted for mileage and options you need to pay for it

If you're paying for a valuation though I'd get a valuation from Glasses instead

Oh right... I always thought Parkers was good for a rough idea anyway.

And this is helpful when it doesn't offer adjusted mileage for free. Im pretty sure I can get a more accurate figure from some of the BMW nutcases.

£4,500

Tom|Nbk · 10 Jan 2008 at 21:43

So £100-£150 + My Focus would be a good deal on this then

Duke · 10 Jan 2008 at 21:46

Spend another £500 and get a 323 or 328. A 318 isn't going to be great.

Cash I don't *really* have atm tbh.

I'm pretty happy with the 318's performance it is on par with the Focus, it looks like it will be more economical (going from mrk's thread) and it's a 3 series.

100k is unknown territory for me though, should I even be worried?

Duke · 10 Jan 2008 at 21:55

Well I know it would be fine for their 6 cylinder and diesel engines, dunno about the 4 cylinder? Guess it should be ok. I'm sure Fox will post soon anyway

I've got an identical model/reg to the one you posted bar it is a 323i. It has done 92k miles but I've only owned it 6-7 months - nothing has broken though anyway

[TW]Fox · 10 Jan 2008 at 22:07

Every time I give somebody advice about the purchase of a 318i, God kills a kitten.

Please, think of the kittens.
