If you were able to get 2 yes warranty on it do people think its a good buy or an unreliable, hard to move on in the future?

I only do roughly 2k a year and would plan to keep it 5 years.

Thanks.

Boring exterior colour and boring interior colour.

If you're only doing 10k in 5 years then the current mileage won't matter too much as there will be lots of 100k cars in 5 years time. But that example is pretty overpriced.

Why that one in particular? There are other cars for sale for less money and with much less miles.

The thing that made me look at it was DCT and EDC and roughly 20k. I also want one that is AUC.... As stated if the guy that traded that in for 11kish I don't really want to be laying 20k! (I realise money will be lost in buying one as the dealer has to make some ££).

I enquired about this car to see if they would move on price.....they were willing to do a deal at 18k but I got cold feet as I wondered who on earth would buy the car off me with say 110k miles

I ended up getting a much lower mileage coupe

At 18k it still seems abit pricey..... Did you see the car in the flesh?

If you can get a 2 year warranty for £18k then is a pretty good deal for a DCT, even with that mileage.

This is true - I only buy cars already over or a long way from the 100k mark. Totally psychological barrier, especially for a modern BMW, but still a bugger for a lot of buyers.

Also is it just me or does the rear of that car look really high in those photos? Maybe just the light, but looks weird.
