OldSkoO1 Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 (edited) I've been after a new-ish 335d SE coupe for a while now. Nothing but high milers, crappy trims, no idrive or colours i dont like so far. Until this cropped up - yes, i didn't want another black car and yes i didn't want black leather... but it's better than grey or beige. 2008 08 Reg*BMW 3 SERIES 335D SE 2DR AUTO SAT NAV&FULL BLACK LEATHER* It's roughly in budget, its an 08 with manufacturers warranty and at least it has idrive. However..... i've never heard of these guys, they are some little garage unit based in wiltshire. Can't find any reviews on the net and there are no forum posts anywhere about this place. It an awful lot of car to buy from a small unit like that, at least in my head. Would you, have you? I'd rather wait if collectively you all think it's too risky for a fairly high value motor. Car Centre Direct - Google Maps And i got to ask my self, where the hell did they get a fairly low mileage almost new 335d coupe from? Who on earth trades a car like that in there. Is it problematic etc... Head wurring..... Edited May 11, 2010 by OldSkoO1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser647 Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 The only thing you can do, is go and see it. Some people who cannot afford to keep the car might have had it 'collected' and then sold on. Get the reg and some bods on here will be able to tell you about it AND talk to BMW about it's serviced.

OldSkoO1 Posted May 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Cheers I will give them a ring, i just have very itchy feet about this one. Its a good price but there stock consists of 8 - 12k motors. The only other thing they have is a RR sport. Then about 30 small / cheap cars. Its 2hrs 30 min drive too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edo Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 I just bought a used Audi from a trader who works from home and only has a handful of cars. It was the best buying experience I have ever had (I've bought nigh on 40 cars from new main dealer to private and everything in between). Give them a call and ask a few questions (some pics for start). You'll quickly get an idea of what you are dealing with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That went smartish then - somebody else couldn't beleive the price either. But you hadn't see it! A lot of cash to spend on something you hadn't seen. :confused: I have not clicked on any of these, but:- bmw 335d coupe, Cars items at low prices on eBay.co.uk Shops Any good?

OldSkoO1 Posted May 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 Thanks for looking - i saw some of them on ebay and they are mostly what's listed on autotrader. Some good buys like, but creeping up in miles. Would prefer something around the 20-35k mark. On my mileage, allows me to extend the warranty for a reasonable price as i tend to keep cars around 2 to 3 years, and i like warranties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
