It had been on monthly mondial since 53k (80/mth, 0 excess). Monthly warranties are not transferable and I advised the buyer that what I paid and what he would be offered would likely be different.

Well done on the sale, fair price I think.

And it definitely won't be £80 a month with no excess!!
Monthly warranties are non-transferrable but the annual ones are. But over 60k miles the warranties (or at least the useful one from BMW/Mondial) will be fiendishly expensive and not worth it.

Mine is on the annual policy, transferable via a phone call.

Customer #1 came around to view it over the weekend, loved the car. We agreed on a price. He then goes and buys an Evo instead....despite telling me that Evos are 'sh*t and plasticky'. His loss.

Customer #2 turns up yesterday all the way from Birmingham. Loved the car. Offered £14,000. I told him to go home as he was wasting his time. To be honest, I sort of sussed him out over the phone but still made him come up and just wanted to waste his time as I knew his offer was going to be a p*ss take. Felt good that did. Should have seen his face and his mate's face biggrin

Wierd series of text messages today.

I've had an 'autotrader' site texting me with a reference code and an online URL. They ask you to input the code and all your cars details come up. They make you an offer (in my case, £500 MORE than listed price) but ask you to pay £75 deposit so someone can come and collect the car and pay you money in cash. The £75 is returned once the car is collected and the cash handed over.

A little bit more investigation revealed this was a scam and nobody ever turns up. It's abit like 'webuyanycar' but all over the internet. Except nobody turns up or there is no site venue.

Be warned folks.

Got it. Unfortunately my wife hates the interior. Also, look at the ML car as a price reference point...

Fair enough.
