Hi, just sold my car was on the look out for a comfortable 'performance' diesel and seen a e320 cdi avant-garde advertised locally for 9.5k on a 04 plate with 75k.
Lots of extras, history etc. Is there anything I should look out for and how would it compare to my old 02 330d sport?

Well, unlike your beemer it'll have indicators and other motorists won't hate you quite as much, you might even get let out at junctions wink

Seriously, if its an 04 then it'll be pre-facelift which were known to have electrical issues so make sure everything works and it's been serviced by a main dealer or at least someone who were doing and has had any recalls addressed. Also make sure the ATF has been changed to schedule, it's not sealed for life and I believe should be changed at around 40k miles to avoid expensive bills.
