Yeah... I noticed that... brand new set of 4 decent tyres for that can be had for under £500 though and still well under budget.
20k available so many nice cars to choose from

worth using it as a bargaining tool bring the price down.
That's lovely. That interior is really inviting, to me. My OCD tendencies would go into overdrive trying to keep it clean though.
I also love how mostly unassuming it is from the outside, with those massive what-look-like 4-pot brakes nestled away behind those wheels.

Good luck, independent dealer won't see it as an issue.

Slightly over but ticks most of the boxes.

Nexen tyres are excellent in my experience actually. They are OE on Fiat some VW Group cars and Renault amongst others.
Brand snob?

These are gorgeous to drive, I have spent a whole day in the diesel version, I can only imagine the petrol is even nicer and smoother. Handling and ride is excellent.
It's a near enough 2 tonne 300hp saloon, hardly comparable to the cars those tyres are usually fitted to.
Nexen tyres weren't OE spec out of the factory for that vehicle. Not saying they're bad but I would prefer performance tyres on a car like that.

If you want UHP tyres then really that is a personal choice, and I get your views, I usually do the same. Just they are not as bad as the statement suggested, ie that it was a ridiculous fitment.
I have used N8000's and found them surprisingly good in the wet and under heavy braking. If it is going to be driven hard then they probably wouldn't be my first choice either, but for general driving with a competent driver they are likely to cause no issues. Had they fitted premium tyres the car would be more expensive I would imagine, so probably helps account for the lower price.
I quite like that interior, and i'm not usually a BMW guy.
This is pretty much bang on the money. I've also been looking at the 1 series M135 but I'm not sure I want another hatchback. I've had a Vauxhall Astra 1.6 SXI 06 plate for 7 years.
I also like the C class but to get anything over 200BHP in petrol you've gotta go down the 3.0-3.5 litre route and tax will be horrendous. The A250 is nice though but again it's a hatchback.
I say go for it. Jump balls-deep into the decision and go do it.
lol I wish it was that simple. I'm really bad at making decisions, it's actually really irritating some times!
