Does this look half decent

[birdcage]

We need a cheap but reliable car for the nursery run/supermarket etc. Will be parked on he street in London and driven by my OH.

Does this look like a good buy and having never owned one is there anything to look out for, the added warranty gives some piece of mind I guess?

Many thanks

I'm afraid I can't help wioth any specific knowledge or experience of these but on the face of it the car looks good.

You mentioned the warranty - up to you but I know I wouldn't be giving £300 for a 3 month warranty.

The dealer has a good reputation from what i've heard - personally never dealt with them though.

Thats one of the last of the line E30 and is a decent spec..

Look after it an you won't loose much cash on the car..

I thought a dealer had to provide a 3 month warranty regardless?

A bit of a shame to use an un-molested, low mileage E30 to do the grocery runs and be left on the street - why not a cheaper, maybe newer car that would be suited to a life on the street?

That's a fair point but it was either one of these or a Ferrari 250 GTO

I see - guess the E30 has a slightly bigger boot, so that must be what swayed you...

It was that indeed, that and the BMW also having a £42 a year saving in insurance premium over the Ferrari

Free road tax with the Ferrari though!
