Mate is trying to sell his BMW...

A small scratch sure but visible and noticeable rust and faulty mechanical/electronic parts have to be mentioned.

Or just use a classified ad, better than an auction anyway! Auctioning cars is for people who are desperate to sell - buyers know this, they bid low because it's unseen, and your market is limited only to people who want a car like that *AND* are buying in one particular week *AND* want to bid on an auction.

Therefore auction values on Ebay are lower than you'd expect to get as a conventional private sale.

The pics don't sell the car.

Mats look like they've never been cleaned and are covered in mud, pics taken in what looks like a mild ditch and in rubbish British weather. random window cleaner in the door card...!

does "never fails to put a smile on my face" give off the impression that he drives it like he stole it? (a 1/4 mile at a time)

floatindolphin · 19 Apr 2012 at 22:23

just seen the photos, nice dirty layby...

What are these worth nowerdays?

mrk · 20 Apr 2012 at 08:38

Not much, that's how much

All brake disks look recent and are in good order.

means = Not had the car that long, It stops Ok but I've never checked the discs/pads properly.

Advert is **** in every single way.

Selling to fund an impreza? Like you'd ever trust a baseball cap wearing impreza owner to be able to look after a car properly

why not? my sisters boyfriend used to wear baseball caps and look rough covered in tatoos etc but he certainly looked after his cars like they meant everything to him and he did drive fairly fast on a regular basis but he never thrashed the hell out of the engine like a lunatic

I am the last person to ask about BMW's whether it be spec, repair bills or prices but one of my Dodgey mates has a 330CE M sport (If there is such a model

) that nice dark blue that he has been trying to get me in to for around the 2k mark.
As he is a dodgey **** it's probably a 318i

My point.
These cars have fell into the hands of Dodgey wannabe ganster types so are not worth nowt.

Shame as some of them look Gorgeous.

Matt82 · 20 Apr 2012 at 10:22

Yup, like the guy I bought my BMW off. I think he genuinely thought the car was sound.

removed the URL, no need to post it up blackhawk as you have quoted the ad. You can host the pictures but using OcUK to sell your mates car isn't kosha.

I wasn't trying to sell it, oh nathan...

Ebay car ads are posted on here all the time? :confused:

Anywho, I've sent him the link to read through the comments.

There's a difference between 'I want to buy this' and 'My m8 is selling his car'.

[TW]Fox · 20 Apr 2012 at 10:38

You sent him the link? That'll go well.

All went better than expected.

His reply:

They got some good points thanks for posting but as you say some of them appear to be standard bmw owners and ***** lol.

Will see if can revise the listing thanks.

Ebay wont let me revise listing what do they reckon is worth out of interest
