Cheap wheel refurb and even cheaper tyres. Looks a little worn for 35k on the clock. Keep looking

number plate hidden so cant run any checks..... needs a good route about. check for the usual wear indicators.

I will see if they will send me the plate. So you reckon leave it? They have knocked £2400 off it.

Go and have a look yourself in the flesh, I wouldn't take the word of an armchair pundit to put you off.

I thought you had a hard budget of 8k? Have you sold your Mini yet?

No not yet it’s listed. It’s a mate of mine is interested in them.

Any issue to look out for?

Main one on that engine is timing chain issues, google M271 timing chain, www.mbclub.co.uk/forums is the place for Mercedes info !

I was following one of these on my way home just now, forgot they made them as are quite rare! Thought it was a diesel missing the CDI badge at first.

As above would try and get the proper number plate to check things before deciding whether it's worth a look.

CK12DWG is the registration number

I looked at these when I bought my current car, the sunroof was nice but the pedals where offset so it was odd to drive.

The quality of the plastic on the dash was shocking too, the buttons weren’t damped as you would expect on a Mercedes. Built to a price and you could tell.

Don't think there is much wrong. although mot ran out 5 months ago - strange id say.
these are reasonable cars but said here built to a price. No good procrastinating need to go see it then make up your mind.

They are quite nice. But out of my budget, which is shame. See what my mate wants to do. I’ve decided to keep my mini until the summer as I’ve just started a new job and don’t want to spend which is essentially a loan on a car, in case the worst happens. I think I would be in a better suiation in maybe 4 months. As I think I would just part ex the car for a quick sale.

I’ve told my mate the details he is going to get some quotes and see what it’s like either this week or next.

Untaxed since 27th July, which is when i guess it went into the trade and why they have knocked £2400 off it.

That’s probably about right. Still worth a look I think.
