I bought mine 3 weeks ago, a 182 with 82k on the clock, two previous owners, full service history, serviced in Jan (72.5k) had full belt change, full service, new front discs and new pads all round, new centre section etc... etc...... Passed it's MOT the day he put it up for sale. It'd been serviced on the dot, taxed for 12 months. The milage was high but after talking to the guy he went for economy on his commute and went at 75 on cruise control... the computer mpg corroborated his story. etc etc....Arctic Blue both cup packs perfect condition.
I left £3900 lighter (slightly high looking at the prices you guys talk about on here, but not when looking at ebay and private sales.. the guy wanted £4250!) and STILL had to get the rear bearings done a week later and the exhaust is on its way out and I need a rear cat before the next MOT.
The guy that sold it to me had spent £1200 on it and I was sure all the stuff that needed doing had been done... They're just expensive cars and trying to get one cheap isnt possible.
