I've just changed to a Bm too... I had a 530d touring a few years back, chipped, it was fun to drive (for a very large car) but still got 33-37 mpg ! This one's a little less frugal!

I've got them to up the deal to a years Tax (£270) and £1K for my 'raddo... I shall collect on Monday! (Sad about selling but the lack of air con and cruise was a major pain!) New motor: 03 330i, 2 owner, 68K, full (selling) dealer history, wind break, cd changer, climate, cruise, parking, electric memory seats...

Thanks for the posts! Its a small trader. His story: He will spend £300 to tidy, £150 on warranty and list at £1995, looking to make £500 over all (after a "cost" of £1135 to "buy" my car too) (I do think he will retail it) The car (I want) is listed at £5995. its priced fair for a trader's lot, there are others that are not as tidy, older or more expensive in my catchment area so this is the right car... the question is do I take the deal (I doubt he will come down £1K on sticker without the trade in) for simplicity/ease or do I sell private and sit on two cars for a month or two? bottom line, I guess £500 discount and £1300 private sale = £1800 off the list price Vs. £1135 trade in, so £665 difference for the sake of a couple of months of tyre kickers and double insurance... Hmmm..

Been offered £1K +6 months tax (£135) trade in for my '94 L 16v 95K, folder full of docs/history. Car was resprayed some time ago so is tidy... 8 months tax, 2 new tyres, 2 old tyres, 10 months MoT. Thoughts? Take the trade in or hold on to it and sell private? (I can afford to sit on it for a few months but don't want to be "stuck" with it) cheers, mjcp

I can... I've been looking around at 8L S3's, there's a 42K mile one with lots of history and no mods (sounds good so far right?). Trouble is its in yellow. I'm not a fan of yellow for a daily driver and apparently, nor are many others, its still unsold 6 weeks later. Price wise, its cheap for the miles/history but I think the colour is holding the price down. So there's two reasons for a wrap: 1> To cover up a hard to sell colour. 2> To cover up a colour you don't like any more. mjcp -
