@Rotty, the biggest issue that crops up with the b58 engine is the oil filter housing, this is exacerbated if the oil changes are infrequent (long life).

They take very well to a remap ;)

Most sobering revelation posted in Motors for a while.....

The M140i was going for c£29k-£33k for a long while, depending on options. There were some crazy low monthly deals with minimal deposits due to heavily discounted APRs too. I would have said £17k felt about right for this. If you really wanted it £17.5k.
 
Agreed 17k with him earlier today

This will be primarily used for work but still means I can have some fun while working

Replacement fine the F type needs to be sorted next

Oh and bought missus a SLK recently too, ginne be an expensive few months
 
Sounds like a cracking deal where you both came off good (assuming they would have WBAC or done a low-book trade in).

Let us know how you get on. I was desperate to take an M140 black/shadow edition or w/e they were called. At one point they were £369 down with £369 a month which was nuts and deserved a punt.

Will do

He had 17k p/ex offer, maybe he will go back without the p/ex and try and do better though I find that's not always as easy as people think

Agreed. The p/x offer is always based on the whole deal...it's just part of the recipe for selling a new car is all. For the garage to increase the offer they have to deem there's enough margin in the whole deal.

I've not had this experience but I can see how it could make sense. Often they've been pleased when I've said I'll do the sale of my current motor. Maybe it's because mine have mostly been going to partners in their network, E.g. a Merc part ex for a Jag, a Jag part ex for a Merc.
 
17k is a great price. I wouldn't be surprised if they had priced in some expected margin for that.

The calculator values always underestimate when there are loads of options and some like an MP exhaust added.
 
Getting it on 1 March

Will then hand the wife's SLK I have been using over to her and sell her 1 series convertible

Then time to find myself a fun car
