Honestly that just wants scrapping.
It seems to only have had one MOT. Why would this be?Don’t get me wrong, it’s a little curio, and with a bit of love could be a lovely thing for Festival of the Unexceptional (I’m also a BL/Rover pervert at heart), but it’s massively overpriced, especially for the condition it’s in.

125k for 43k miles - or 50k for 127k miles?

Beautiful and iconic for sure - ones cheap or ones overpriced........
£125k feels pretty sharp. 125k for 43k miles - or 50k for 127k miles?

However ,this immaculate Japanese spec M635i (although it was called the "M6" in Japan and had the low compression catalyst S38) with 6k km on it went for €208k (£180k ish) last year

Reminds me of the Top Gear episode where they were Taxi drivers but drove the owners cars. May asking the couple how much the boggo looking A class cost "£26000" cue May choking on his proverbial cornflakes.
"But it's the Sport".
About 40k in today's money and long before there was a hot one.

Autotrader link no longer works but I guess it didn't sell as the last V5C was issued in 2012 and it's still taxed. 84 days till it's next MOT though.The exterior is bad, but wait until you get inside.

I've spent the last few weeks shopping for a petrol automatic decent run about to last a few years and to sit alongside our EV.
I was really checking out the sub £12k market and I have been astonished at rhe prices both individuals and especially dealers have been asking for piles of crap. Cars that look good in photos, look decent on paper rhen you turn up and see blistering paint, rust any amount of small scrapes and scuffs. 4 alloys all needing a refurb. Knackered brake discs and one had tyres from 2011, yup 12 years old and so perished with cracking the previous MOT tester was clearly blind or blind drunk to be passing this car.
Used dealers seem to believe a wash and vacuume is all they need do to add £3k to the asking and then sit back and expect someone to pay it. I must have identified and viewed a dozen or more cars to be kept very disappointed upon inspection. One car I was told had 4 owners yet upon viewing the V5 showed 9.....
I ditched rhe trade as had no faith left in them and eventually got sorted via a private sale from a lovely old gent who just ended up with 1 too many cars.
Seriously overpriced cars....boy your not wrong.....tons of them out there.

Golf R32
£40k
It's still just a MK4 Golf. Sounds good and has decent seats, that's it.
