I had 528 cars to choose from!

Wasn't going to go through all the pages, but this car I would definitely take!

I've had a 728i and it was the only car I regret selling.

I see some posts are showing the postcode of the ph member in the distance from...... Part of autotrader. Assuming they haven't used false postcodes, they might want to get rid of that bit

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", 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.

Unusually slim pickings for me!! Out of the dreary selection of Lagunas and V40s, with a single BMW (318ti compact on chavvy wheels, no thanks) I'd buy with my heart... and keep a copy of the bus timetable for when it inevitably went bang.

For me, within 10km and under 1175 euros (exchange rate today!):

It's a 1997 Kia Clarus (for 1100euros) with 130k km on the clock

Loverrrly


or a Renault Scenic with over 300k km.
