ex demo? Lol perhaps 100k ago. You cant judge a cars condition from an autotrader ad.
The fact there cars are at the bottom of the market gives an indication of their condition. My advice remains the same. It is up to the op whose opinion he trusts although judging by that Couger of yours buying good used cars is not your forte?
You failed to answer my question, instead you chose to contradict yourself, either you can tell that cars are shabby from an ad, or you can't tell. The price is irrelevant, esp. when the comparable BMW approved used car price is only 2-3k higher.
I asked about your opinion on why you think they are shabby, but you did not reply to this.
An indication of his level of BMW knowledge
You don't make any spelling mistakes?
He implied my advice was wrong, i explained why it was not, he kept going despite not really knowing. He did not make a suggestion, read his post, he replied to me not the op
I will follow up Tom's question - what are you on about? I asked why you didn't include E60/E90s, when I didn't understand your reply I pointed out why I thought my suggestion was not as off the track as you made it out to be, at which point you blew your lid with the above reply.
Doesn't recommending BMWs get you banned on here now?
Any who, what's with the immediate slagging of at Fox any time he tries to provide meaningful well supported advice? Yes, he knows way to much about BMWs to be considered 'normal', but whether this knowledge is gained through a passionate interest and joy of cars, or through being exceptionally anal (I suspect a bit of both) his comments are well written, (almost) totally impartial and well supported. Im all for a bit of banter and poking fun at people when they are openly a little stupid, but Its getting annoying when someone asks a serious question and someone else who has more knowledge on the subject than an entire dealership of salesmen provides exceptional advice that they are automatically put down by the nearest loud mouth who thinks their one time experience or that their friends brothers mates car purchase can provide a better reasoning for a clearly pointless and irrelevant suggestion.
"OMG get a 150K E90 SE ex demo cos its well cheap cos Fox dont know ****" is not an educated answer.
What a load of rubbish, no one has done this in this thread. I tried to make a suggestion, and on asking why I was wrong, Fox decided to lower the tone; which is still fine as he may have misread/misunderstood my intentions, but your antagonistic reply has nothing to do with what is going on in this thread.
Has it entered your head at all that his comprehensive knowledge might be the reason for my probing, as it would help me and other people understand some things about BMWs better?
I am perplexed that, instead of making a sensible retort and showing me the error of my thinking, Fox decided to turn hostile. As it stands, I still think my suggestions warrant merit, albeit the OP has stated that he wasn't that interested?
