Actively in the used car buying market at the moment, looking for a BMW 325i SE. Likely year of car 2009/2010 dependant on mileage and most likely will purchase from a used car dealer.

Located. potential purchase, right spec' etc. At the end of the ad' the dealer states ' 12 months warranty, 72 point inspection of car if advertised price is paid'. Then to cap it off they state a £150 admin charge payable upon purchase!! WTF, put me right off bothering to even have a inspection of the car or trouble the selling dealer.

Are they taking the p*ss, certainly I think so. The search goes on.

Is it still a good value car compared to others when you add the extra costs?

Not particularly standing out as such, not being able to haggle the screen price without the loss of two key purchase from dealer advantages is, for me, beyond the pale.
