CAT C or D!!!!!!

If it's too cheap, then i'm sure there will be something wrong.

If you want to buy then make sure you do a HPi check. If you were to get me a reg I could do it for you when i am at work.

Sorry, but way too cheap. I bought a 120d at the end of last year and paid more than that - looked at the 123's and they were more than £20k.

Even accounting for the slump, they're still holding their value quite well.

Been an insurance write off (or it's as rough as a bears arse!) or a typo? £21,995?

Hi

Is the car available for you to view?
The reason i ask is there has been a couple of cars on the Autotrader website which have all been BMW and very cheap.
All of them ask you to contact them by email and the reply says the car is currently in Italy or Spain etc and can be shipped to you at no extra charge etc sale or return!!!!!!!!!!!! and the email comes from a girl who has moved over there with her boyfriend etc etc

Scam written all over it.

Probably stolen with a fake number on it.

According to Autotrader it's 16 miles from here so it's not in Leicester if that's correct. It's a trade sale so if you get the address they should have it on show and it's only £5000 under price so that might just be their profit margin gone.





yours, Pete

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

That's not cheap. Cheap cars are under £500.

I live in Leicester and have never heard of this company. Sounds too good to be true. I`ve just checked Autotrader and it looks like the ad has been removed, there is no trace of it now!
