It's my first post so be gentle. I've been looking to change my car for sometime now and have finally decided that a 330d is the way to go. What do I want-

Manual preferred but would consider an automatic
Tourer preffered but would consider saloon
Xenons
Sat Nav
Leather
Sub 40k miles
Service history

I'm not looking for something for nothing and will pay reasonable money for a good well looked after car.

Hope the above is not too fussy. I live in the Wigan area so the more local the better.

Thanks for looking

Saw this on eBay. Slightly more mileage than you're after

This looks ok but the age and mileage a little high. Would rather spend the extra Money for something newer. Thanks for the heads up

[jonnyuk06]

high miles is nothing to be scared off, if its got top notch service history and you get warrant for it then you can save your self some money.

i ahve a 330d for sale but its not the spec your after so won't do the hard sell on you. mine has 104k on the clock but still drives lovely and has not missed a beat, my point don't let miles scare you off a good car.

Still on the lookout for a 330d, regularly looking at the classifieds on this forum but nothing takes my fancy. I have been in touch with the steelers and have given me the following info on a 325d. I am in that should I or shouldn't I frame of mind.

My budget is around the £ 25k mark.

The questions are
1 if i was to go for this one is there anything key missing from the spec. What are the key questions I should be asking. Haven't been given a price on the 325d yet (what is reasonable ?)
2 should I hold out for a 330d, I have my heart set on
3 should I wait and spend the extra and buy a new model 3 series when they start to come on the market.

Advice/thoughts greatly appreciated.

Another plea, anyone thinking of selling their low mileage well spec'd 330d.

If you have 25K budget, i'd say wait a little while. the F30 msports are coming out in september, so there will be people that very bought Sport level models in february that will trade them in after 6 months.


might just get yourself a bargain!
