I think these look lovely. In budget though 6 cylinders (how economical are these?) http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/231474025751?nav=SEARCH
Same as a 530i. Anything between 20 mpg and late 30s depending on where and how you drive it. I wonder what this will go for in the end http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-745i-SEPT-2015-MOT-F...
Not perfect, but £1,850 and ends today. The chap says he has no reserve and his reserve was only £2.5k last time and it finished at £2,411. A lot of car for the money if it ends in that area.

Apart from the missing mirror that actually looks quite straight.Not perfect, but £1,850 and ends today. The chap says he has no reserve and his reserve was only £2.5k last time and it finished at £2,411. A lot of car for the money if it ends in that area.
At anything around £2k it would be a no brainer.
If I were still playing the shed game id have that, eek 10-15k miles out of it over 4-6 months with minimal investment and then consider it dead. Any further mileage would be pure bonus.

That colour does it a LOT of favours. Very grown-up.None of the 'knob-on-a-mission' flavour of the specifications these often wear.
But then what flavour would you call this?

While the smoke silver-ish 645i does indeed look OK in isolation, it looks rather less OK next to this:

I disagree. It's just crap.
ETA, I've just found this link about it:
http://www.kilburntimes.co.uk/news/harlesden_man_l...
"During his travels to cities such as Birmingham and Milton Keynes he has persuaded a string of celebrities to sign his car – including hip-hop rap star Dappy,"
I love how they write that as if he made it as far as Tokyo or Johannesburg or somewhere.

Kind of a spin-off question to the above, do people mentally write off a certain value per month and base purchases around that? Taking the above example, on a £2k car, would equate to £333 a month 'depreciation'.Or do folk base it on mileage?
I myself work on a monthly write off value of £100. So I'd expect a £1,200 car to last a year and anything more than that is a bonus. Just curious

So I made my first car purchase of the year, a 400 quid Ford Focus, 1.8 Zetec 6 months mot and everything works safe for the Aircon.
It's not quite within thread guideline mind, but will tide me over while searching for a nice merc 190e sportline.
Ideally I'd like a 2.6 manual, but I think that may test my patience somewhat in waiting for one to appear, so what about an automatic version? One has popped up in County Londonderry - is anyone close enough to possible assist at all?
Errrr, umm, hate to break it to you, but I sold an exceptionally good 71k 190e 2.6 Sportline manual about 3 months ago. Sorry. It's not quite within thread guideline mind, but will tide me over while searching for a nice merc 190e sportline.
