Did you check that the indicators worked before you bought it? Rolling with laughter

Funny you should say that, yes the indicators did but the rear side lights did not! Bit odd…

That's a good buy - was it particularly high mileage?

We are looking for something about that price to replace my sons '08 Volvo V50 that got written off by someone turning into him Censored .

Insurance valuation is no where near the price of replacement vehicles at the moment and he is struggling to find a decent German/Swedish estate for under 4K Surprised

Yes reasonably high at 170 ish K but the BMW 2.0d lump seams to be bullet proof for some high miles… The car drives very well, that of a 70k model I would suggest! 👍

I was in that situation a few years ago. I took the insurance company to court, the judge ordered them to pay the price i was asking or find me an acceptable car. Dont accept low insurance offers. BMW i3 Electric Car
