I'm going to look at a BMW today, it's been a demo and has done less than 5k. It's got quite a few extra's and I'm sat wondering if I really like the car thinking how much is it worth and how much should I offer.

So the question is do you think the above car is a good price, if not how much could I get them down by?

Also here is my personal video http://digital.lloydgroup.co.uk/Med...iOWY2MGEtZTBhMC00MDRhLTlhMmQtNDYwZjhhYjc2MzY5
 
Not sure about the car but I highly recommend Lloyds as a dealer. I bought my BMW from them 18 months ago and have been thoroughly looked after. They even reset the airbag for free for me after I set it off fitting a dashcam.
 
If it was me I'd keep my eye out for one with 20-30k on the clock to save much more cash, however I know it's nice to have something practically unused.

See I had an utterly crap experience with Lloyd's so ended up going elsewhere. Since been harangued by them to no end too.
 
I bought a new 320i X Drive in October for considerably less than that!

Looks like they're trying to sell the car with the options at 100% value. Depending on what you value the 442M wheels and blue calipers at, I don't value them at £2k.

HK audio is a 700 option which dealers can typically add at near cost value, improvement is subjective.

It would be important to find out if the heated seats are part of the driver comfort pack, or on their own. As part of the pack at £750 with folding rear seats, additional storage space etc. it's one of the fairer priced options. The seats on their own are £300ish IIRC and again entirely subjective in value.

APR is quite high. You'll probably find a dealer on Coast 2 Coast who'll sell you a same spec brand new car for same, potentially less/month. And you won't have had a car which has done 5k of no doubt brutal driving (my local stealership they take turns taking various demos home, and I've seen the way they drive!).
 
10.8% interest seems extortionate?

Not sure I'd want a demo, lots of different people getting in and out and driving it however they want.
