Well i have been looking at BMW 325i Sports a lot lately and there is a giuy selling one that i really like

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/66804.htm

He got in touch with me about a swap last night and i offered him a straight swap and £500 plus i would go all way down to Surrey. Do you think i havent offered enough or should i just forget the idea all together ?

I've no idea if the price it's on PH for is realistic, but my ignorant opinion is that 5 grand seems a lot of money for a 15 year old motor with unspecified mileage.

IIRC your Mondeo is quite high mileage as well, and £4500 for yours (while very nice, mondeos go for peanuts) is more than generous if he were to accept.

I prefer your car to the E30 3 (even though it looks mint) to be honest.

Yeah my car is just about to hit 106k on the clock but she still goes strong. I really love the look of the olkd 325s with the body kit on they look real classy and a soft top would be ideal for the summer :)

Dont get me wrong i like my mondeo but i could fo with a change.

Hmmm decisions decisions
 
This is what the guy emailed back to me

"Yeah i'll do a deal, like the car but i need at least £1000??

Can you send me some more pictures & info ie milage & service history!"


In reply i said this

"I’m afraid I can only go to £500, I live in Scotland and have to travel down to Surrey which is a hefty fuel bill plus the time off work to do it



The car is just about to tick over to 106k. I am the second owner of the car, before me it belonged to a guy who owned it as a company car then bought it off the company when he left. The service history is good but is missing for when it was a company car. It is a lovely motor and runs like new and has been very well looked after in the 2 years I have owned it. It spent last year garaged completely as I had my licenese taken off me due to medical reasons. You can see more pics of the car at www.theinflux.co.uk/photos



If you need more I can sort that out.



What’s the details on your car miles wise, service history and owners etc."


I'll see what he says
 
Just to point out my car has had a few things done and last time it was on the rollers at Dastek is showed 197bhp.
