Whatcar says £640 with 300,000 miles from a dealer. Bargain eh.

£2700 - £4600 for a car with 200,000 miles, So its a bit dear.

Nice and bold about not recorded i would wonder if they know something about
its history. Covering themselves if you go back and point out the crumpled hidden parts.

They will say no accidents have been recorded as per the advert.

Don't think you'll get an '04 BMW 720 for £640.

I took the "not recorded" to mean it's been in an accident and repaired but is not recorded as such. Why else would a salvage dealer have it?

It looks well looked after. I suppose if you're driving important people around all day, you have to keep it in good nick and you have to look after it mechanically. £6,000 for a gas guzzler with 400k is probably optimistic, but who knows.

With 70,000 miles, Glasses reckon that wouldtrade at £8,381. I'd punt that at at auction, with 400,000 miles it would go for £3.5. You'd be daft to pay nearly 6 for it though..

So it'll go to some dodgy auction house with no service history and 70k on the clock then?

"gas guzzler" ? It's a diesel...

Also - you could say at 400,000 miles it IS salvage :cool:. Given the seller has other DAMAGED cars for sale I fail to see why they'd have bothered repairing this one!

Used as a Taxi. Rear seats are showing same wear as drivers.

It's not a very economical diesel though.

But it's a diesel?

All diesels are AMAZINGLY economical remember?



(plus, how economically could you tow your living room around? )
