Was discussed briefly in the thread - I think with relation to a car for yourself.
My questions are with ref to the lights - front has ambers which would unlikely have been standard and rears look aftermarket - how /why?
Those wheels were apparently an option but most commonly found on E46 - spec sheet from BMW will confirm. Other than that, it looks in OK condition if with short MOT.
Ah yes I remember that! These wheels are from an E46 (I am sure...), and the lights are a bit strange. My questions are with ref to the lights - front has ambers which would unlikely have been standard and rears look aftermarket - how /why?

Sorry, bad memory

Tried nominating this for SOTW, £850 which leaves you £150 to sort out the electric roof. Says full history and a new MOT. I fi hadn't already scratched this itch I'd be there already!

I like this game, my two top choices of 144 were the following:
First page and I thought I had a winner:
Jaguar XJ 4.0
118K - £600 - 8 miles away
http://www2.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201...
but I persevered and found this Mercedes 190E 2.0
73K - £799 - 8 miles away
http://www2.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201...
To be honest, I'd love to say that I'd be brave and take the Jaguar, but the Mercedes is so nice and clean that I couldn't say no to that. In fact, if I didn't have so much other junk on the drive, I'd be tempted!

What do you do if there are precisely 0 cars within 10 miles under £1k? Am I walking?
I have no cars under £1000 within 10 miles, so I extended to 20 miles, still 0 results, extended to 30 miles and 1 car which was a turd of a Megane so gave up and accepted that I either live in the sticks or the poshest place in the country I presume it was this Megane? - http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/2012...
Cheapest car within 10 miles is a Suzuki Ignis 1.5 sport, in yellow for just under £2000
Ignoring the horrible chrome wheels, this looks like a gem for £595 as it has T&T
http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/2012...
I was spoilt for choice with a whopping 250 cars to choose from!

Looks like it's had an epically dodgy respray, look at the first pic, the rear half is a completely different colour to the front, I also notice the side vents someone has tastefully let into the front wing (but only on one side). Nice. http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/2012...

Here, I've gone for something vaguely sensible (unlike me) rather than a tired old Beemer/Merc, yes it's a GTI. On an '03, "Showroom condition", 1 lady owner for what it's worth, sub 100k mileage...

That isn't a 180.
I feel dirty admitting this but that doesn't have the wheels, badging or seats from a 180.

Unless it was crashed and nearly everything was replaced with GTi 138 gear, it's not a 180.
If I spent more time I'd come up with more
