just a quick heads up on this 320d edition SE saloon currently for sale at a small one man car trader off the m6. Has not been prepped at all in my view and priced at top end with delusions when Glasses values and cheaper equivelents pointed out...

Car is fine overall and drives fine but needs 2 front run flat tyres @ £130+ each as at current are at 1.6mm , rears are 4mm and 3mm, drivers door seal is badly worn and needs replacing. the car needs an inspection service in 400 miles as last one was just under 20k ago which seller did point out but willing to do at a standard garage only. Rear pads are worn 80% so will also need budgeting for. all interior door trim on the handles are damaged with rear left in particular. Leather and interior showing more wear than expected and not cleaned well. Finally been accident repaired on rear quarter but is well repaired so not to worry too much on that. car is advertised at 60k mileage with 63,400k actual

reason for the post is the seller has no hesitation describing it convincingly as immaculate on the phone...

also when tyres pointed out he advised he could source replacements budget runflats at around £80 each and "his brother used to work at Goodyear and told him no difference between the budget and mainstreams" at all.
