It’s back, was on this thread a year ago when Sytner Nottingham was trying to sell it for £21000 with 210k
I know we all want our cars for nothing but I think its priced about right. What do you guys think?

Edit - with an electric tow bar why is it sticking out in all the pics?
This appears to have sold already.
There's a thread in readers cars someone on here now has it and intends to put lots more miles on it.
I can't find it.

They dont sell the avensis in the USA, maybe it was a camry? I'd be surprised if a camry doesn't outlast a Crown Vic tbh.

Camrys and corollas are some of the most durable cars on the road today.
Went in a Toyota Camry "Hybrid" to Newark on way back to airport, it was a rattly/horrid thing compared to the crown vic I went in, crown Vic for the win just for the kick down noise from the low pressure V8 smile
I noticed this in New York in October. After dreaming of going for years and expecting to see Crown Vic's as far as the eye can see, I instead had to take a Rav-4 to the hotel. This wasn't to bad, just a little small, however the Camry's were all fked. Every single one I went in felt like the rest suspension was no longer attached to the rest of the car.

Meanwhile, to get back on track with the subject of this thread, how about one of these. Obviously it's an ex taxi (in fact I think the majority of those for sale are) but, still, 239,000 miles in less than six years is pretty good.

Exactly. FFS what do you expect from a high mileage ex taxi? God forbid you need to clean it!!

This was my dad's up until a few months ago, it was the demonstrator from Synter Nottingham when he got it with only a few k on the clock. Looks like it's been tarted up quite a bit since he sold it, but I doubt it is the condition they describe; there's some corrosion in hard to fix places from where it had a brake fluid leak and it didn't have a full bmw service history when he sold it! irked

One of the many visits it's made to Le Mans:


He's since replaced it with a newer Alpina D5

Even cooler to use it in such a way. Seller looks to be chancing it properly then.

How did he find it to own over so many miles? Generally pain free?

Pretty impressive 30k a year. The "Minimum of 9 months MOT" followed by "MOT due 01/03/2020" made me laugh though
