Hi good Ab'ers is this a good buy - BMW 3-Series Touring 320d SE 5d - (99-05) late plate 02/03 120K miles FSH - or could you get a better diesel for your money thanks good AB'ers GL

An idea of the asking price might be of help !

[dotty.]

How many MPG does it do and how close to a petrol station do you live?

[grahamlong]

About £2500 thanks

Buy it. It's good for another 125k if it's been looked after.

Diesels will go on and on and , well you know the rest. So 120k is just run in but I'd go for 1k less...for sure.

Firstly Graham, its on a chain so that's a good point, does it have history? does it have a Tow bar? If so there may be a chance clutch wear, what is the body like? has it been bumped /repaired? Mileage is no problem with this car they will do twice provided it's had the proper services. does it black smoke on quick acceleration? Injectors if it does. I would offer £1,500, £ 1,700 limit, has it a long MOT? has it tax?

OK point taken would be better off with a Ford, parts half the price & you get a lot for yor money - injectors would be half price - ( Vaughan AP Diesels )
THANK YOU .... GL

With respect to Ford owners Graham, there is no comparison & if you look around, the parts are not as expensive as you think.
