    Similar however that is the pre facelift model. The facelift model came into force from March 1st 2003 I think.

    I have thought about getting finance, but all the loans I can see would need me ot pay back over a year. I would only want the loan for a few months at most. Although, I'm not sure I would trust myself to do this. I think that would be absolute last ditch attempt.

    So what happens if you sell your car, go to buy that one and it has been sold in the meantime?

    He has given me first refusal until the first week in March. He is a friend off of the BMW forum I post at so a bit more trust worthy than a random Autotrader ad or similar.

    Take a loan, sell your old car, do a Lump sum reduction against the term of the loan. Only a few months to pay then..... :D
    Proud of who, and what, I am. :female::male:

    If I was that desperate. I would arrange the finance to buy the new car and buy it. Then use the proceeds from the old car to pay off part of the finance. I presume it is a private sale.

    It will sell, I suspect that you will " give it away " to get shot of it, I sense your frustration.;)

    webuyanycar only good for cars worth < 1k which are hard to shift.
    I sold mine to them for £9850 when the book price was £9700 to be fair. They only knocked £300 off the price they gave me on-line too so I have no complaints about them at all.

    I wopuld actually say that they are no good for cars less than £1000 because they look to resell them at carcraft which tend to try and flog cars a little bit better than that, although for vastly inflated sums at high APR's.
