It’s just not a car I’d look back at when walking away from it. Brilliant cars no doubt but I still struggle to tell the difference between a 135i and a 116i.
Insurance isn’t that bad as long as you go with a proper company and not a Micky mouse broker.
Tax is what it is. One of those things.
I often get my mates going on about how much I spend swapping cars and then they go spend £150 a weekend getting pissed.
How risky is a £1000 172?
I’d say the risk is about £1000.
Considering most people spent that on three months pcp payments these days I’d say the risk is pretty low to be honest.
I don’t think I’ve ever had a problem selling a car.
To be honest, I don’t think I’ve ever had someone come and view one of my cars and not buy it!
Accurate description.
Realistic Price
Those two things make selling cars a piece of piss.
Maybe I haven’t found the car I want to keep hence why I keep searching.
I enjoy buying and selling and viewing as well. I think it would be nice to find that special car that I want to keep but I’ve owned about 100 now and still haven’t found it.
Turbo has been sent off to some random guy who is rebuilding it for me.
He seems to know what he’s talking about and has good feedback from other folk so hopefully it should be alright.
Either that or I’ll be updating in a few weeks saying I’ve been ripped off.
Sold the volans and sent the turbo off for a rebuild.
Previous owner told me it had a 19t but unfortunately it appears it has a 16t. Not really something you can check on the car.
Anyway, hoping to upgrade some parts when it’s rebuilt so it should be better than it was.
