Posts: 8,706March 2012 considering either buying a new car or getting a smaller car to go with my current one.
I have been offered a BMW 3 series 54 plate with 55000 miles on the clock for £3500.
This seemsreasonable but should i be wary -

And even if its not clocked there will probably be something big on the way out and bmw parts aren't cheap and tbh Bazza a bmw as a second car is asking for money to bePissed down the drain

Do what I do these days, buy a cheap car with 12 months MOT, ruin it then scrap it then buy another one. They all move from one place to another. Spend a grand on a car and the rest on a holiday or prostitutes or both. -

It is the Idle for 10 months bit that worries me.
But it is worth more than 3 and a half grand soresale shouldn't be a problem in a year or so.
12 months mot gives some leeway doesn't it -
