Looks very nice in the pics but thats the pics....
Like the colour etc

Would need to sell the 350i Wedge but......

The seats look like they are a different colour to the centre console?

You are right on one thing, the colour, same as mine, best colour to have...... :-)

Looms keenly priced but I think it's a definite look and see car.

The quality of the photographs are a good indication - as with most trade adverts these seem a little... underwhelming. They should spent less on logos and plates and more on a camera.

Seems cheap for a trade car without a few grand lurking to me... always worth a look see though eh?

Yes I have had extra photos sent over showing a few things that need doing to smarten up the interior and of the engine bay,
Also asked them about outriggers which they say are original and will need replacing at sometime !!

Thanks for that insight

the photos might be interesting to see but the last comment is the most telling.
The fact that the chassis has been recently waxoyled was a worry as a) you never know what muck & crud has been inadvertently trapped underneath (friends Griff was testement to that) and b) what deterioration has it been put on to cover/hide.
As said above, the price is quite "keen" but if you then need to add the cost of a chassis refurb and other costs you may as well but a one that has all that done and save yourself the hassle

At least the dealer was straight about the outriggers. Bodes well that he's a reasonable chap.

True

I'll be the wet blanket here and say that it's a bit too much for a car that has large bills in the future. There have been perfectly good cars for sale recently that have went for much cheaper.

I'm interested in it, but I'd be stupid to pay more than 6.5k - 7k for it...

Hi Terry,
According to my limited sources, this registration belongs to a red Ford Ka. Untaxed since 2010
Might be worth checking with the dealer again!
