I would say it is overpriced and that the wheel arch repairs quote seems a bit low - did they take the covers off to inspect the cills ? The suspect areas would be gearbox - has the fluid been changed regularly

If its been looked after I wouldn't let the mileage put you off,my latest 4.2 sc has just ticked over 132k and feels as tight as a nut. |

It’s not the mileage mine is on 250k it’s how it has been looked after 👍 |

MY07 onwards Supercharged cars are not easy to find. However I feel that looks strong money for the outward appearance of it. 2005 E60 M5

Thanks all. I’ll see if I can negotiate down to £5k. That seems a reasonable price to me. |

I think there are better ones out there! The rust on the arches is only what you can see, my bet is that when it shows above the plastic trim, the cills have had it! I'm not keen on the saggy headlining either. Drives:

I’ve an 08 4.2sc which I bought 10 years ago with 32k on the clock. It’s now at 107k and still drives beautifully. Just had front suspension, rear discs and pads done for £1380 through a fantastic Indy near me in Kent. I’ve been incredibly lucky with mine with very few probs. We converted it to lpg which has saved us thousands in fuel bills. Ours has a tiny bit of rust on the inner lip of the rear arches and nowhere else. I deliver cars for a living and this still feels far better than most of the 2 year olds I deliver.
