Point taken. I've never heard of them it was just the name sounds like one of those dealers who change their name a lot. I would say that very very few people pay 10k for 124's so a bit more effort and detail on the ad would help ( not however the Wikipedia history of the model which seems to be popular with some dealers) .
Agree about the name, it's not in Gatwick & it's not exactly a Motoring World. They probably took it in PX from some old boy.I quite like the look of this. Arches apparently done, reasonable miles, and £2.5k http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C539196#

the stereo system on my e91 is an absolute disgrace but upgrading it isn't economically worth it.
Have you enquired about price? If the car is a keeper than I think it could be worth it. I do like good sound quality.... I was daft enough to spend over £400 on a set of earphones..... Which were far more expensive than the player they get plugged into

Decent Alpine (Old school V12 model) 4 or 5 channel amp can be had for under £100.
Set of Focal speakers (good second hand) would set you back £200ish.
Subtle sub in the boot for less than £100 and a couple of hundred for installation.
So I would say £500 all in for a huge improvement and keeping the original headunit.
Of course of you changed that also add £100-£150 for a good used one (Alpine/Pioneer).
And Ross, as an aside, I know what you mean about earphones.
I have a set of Ultimate Ears Triple Fi 10's and a set of UE900's for my (Sony) MP3 player.
Stunning sound quality (although both cost me less than what you paid ) and most people won't understand why you do it....until they try them!
Just outside of the budget is this 100k mile Honda Legend. Smoked front lenses seem odd but otherwise looks great, even Michelin tyres (well, at least one!).

Found this by chance this morning.
1998 728i, £1795
1 owner, 87k miles, allegedly full BMW service history, full matching Continental tyres, 2 keys etc, although the pics on the right hand side aren't great and could hide a few sins.
Tempted isn't the word...

Probably not a bad barge but unless you *need* something on a 56 plate, I think most would prefer an E65, Lexus LS or GS especially when you keep in mind the Honda's turn of pace and the higher level tax. http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/2014...
Stolen from another thread but I think needs to be in here

I suspect the Honda to have generally lower running costs than the others mentioned, mind. Laidback66 said:

That's nice. I'm fairly new to this thread and haven't been keeping track of costs in general, but that looks strong money for an '01 with 178k miles? Is the 'Sport' particularly sought after? JZZ30 said:

Seems bit overpriced in the current market. I paid 2500 for my 2001 e38 728 sport with 110000 miles. I think the sports are desirable but not worth a great deal over the standard car.
Still a nice mile muncher though! .... With a bit of haggling
