Advice on this one

Post had gone about this from the previous owner - but since removed - any reason?

Any way the car is a red rose not s - tuscan, apparently in need of 12000 mile service - front disc and pads and a set of tyres. I am chopping in my 2007 BMW750i - with 40k miles - which has a trade value of min 14k. I am looking at a deal of the car plus 2k - sounds fair?

any one have any further info on it?

Has it had a re-build? You might want to check although the price is not far off for a non rebuilt car.

Also find out what shocks it has, make sure steering rack isn't weeping, dash works properly, heater works properly etc. All the usual Tuscan stuff

I think it's against the rules to plug your own adverts on the forums.

[floatingjimi]

how am I plugging my own advert?

[floatingjimi]

If this is seen as plugging my own add - then things are going crazy - may be I have been away for too long, but you would as I recall post things like to get an idea of how people would compare the two vehicles. If this is the case then we are going away from the banter of two blokes saying yeah well I know that car and yours is worth less - or you have a good deal. FFS, please dont tell me Pistonheads is gone down that route as well.

anyway rant over - I should get some pics and further info in the next day - unfortunately I cannot now get any further info from the previous pistonheader.

Tuscan is a an itch I feel I need to scracth after being awauy from a tvr for a while

I think you'll find Al was on about the other guy posting about his own car, not you. You did say the other post had been removed.

[floatingjimi]

It was a pistonheader who had chopped in their tuscan and was informing parties interested that the car needed a 12k service, brakes and tyres - in my mind a fair thing to do.

Thanks

Sorry it's me getting confused, on checking back I've no idea which thread/post your were referring too.

I was getting you confused with another member/thread. :0

No worries - having just moved back to the uk - thought for one moment pc had taken over pistonheads - the horror!!!
