Wouldn't expect much from a 2004 318Ci at that price myself.

There were dents on every panel. I want a car, not a project.

I know what your saying, but at that end of the market I wouldn't be giving two fecks about bodywork, provided it drove the way it should. You can drive with a few dents, you can't really with a blown head gasket or an engine ran low on oil or a clutch about to go pop.

Having spoken to the seller this of and being informed it "doesn't need any work" (I can upload the text, also the one asking for more photos) I arranged a day off work and drove 200km.

It drives okay, but a panel beater could give a full day to put it properly right, and that's before you even open a spray booth.

Waste of a day, and a half tank

How are you all anyways. It's been a while

I hate when this happens pure waste of time and money. It's happened me a few times pure muck of cars that the owners said were spotless ffs I showed up to see one focus before and it was that dirty I didn't even sit in it as I'd of had to throw my cloths out it was that dirty and I'm not even joking that's the dad part. I have to say I hate looking and searching for the right car I love cars and everything about them but just hate trying to buy one. Best of luck with the searching.

An 04 E46 coupe at €2250 sounds a bit cheap though.

You'd have to expect something.

****ing truth.

Went to see one car that even looked spotless in the photographs. When I got there, it was like it'd been left sitting under a desert sun with paint-fade. The interior seemed to suggest twice the mileage the car actually had. The clutch bearing moaned. And the thing struggled utterly to restart after I stalled it.

Oh. And it was expensive, to boot.

Update on the Astra situation.

My friend managed to get the guy's address, and texted his address to him (on the phone that the other guy "found") and got a few friends to send it too (just the address, nothing else at all). A few minutes later he got a call from this guy in a panic, some words were exchanged and they have come to a deal. He will refund €700 at 6 o'clock this evening.

I'm absolutely delighted.

That's brilliant news

Looks like I ditched the style 193's at the right time, every e46 i see now has them!

Not worth putting the pics in any other thread, but just 2 quick ones.

Neighbours son's Mondeo, wish I had them wheels.

And these yokes arrived today, hate the screw heads so these should make a subtle change to the 206 and jeep. Ideally the plates should be stuck with tape, but meh.

Keep an eye out for the BMW 3series on jacks on the NCR near ford dealer. Think someone robbed all four wheels overnight. They left the jack though....

You're better off not having those wheels. Polished face doesn't last p1ssing time. The old lad had them on his one and they were covered in white worm. Hitting every kerb going then meant it didn't matter mind...

I did the same - without the break failure thankfully :eek:

But I DID have brake failure a couple of weeks ago - pedal right down the floor job.

Had to use handbrake to stop it :eek:

Ya they seem to stick out quite alot, being the first part to hit the kerb, whereas mine are in slightly, so the tire sidewall usually takes the damage. Them ones are ruined alright, a lot of the paint is chipped off.
