Default finding a clean beemer

God its a mine field this has got to be the worst make of cage ive hunted down to try and find a clean low milage example

Today i thought id cracked it! i found a 05 plate 320ci m sport for 9.5k in bridgnorth which is close to me so i jumped in the car this morning to go have a look this cage was owned by a company in dudley from new and was purchased on a BMW finance package of 4 years finance and a large final payment and guess what? £9800 was still owed on it as a final payment and this seller wanted me to pay the final payment to purchase the car! i smell a rat AGAIN so shy'd away from it

to get clean i gotta buy newer but they still have 1,000's of miles on

i am now fed up of looking thats a first for me.

It shouldn't be difficult to find a good one, there will be loads of low mileage immaculate examples within the BMW dealer network, but finding the one you want for the money you want to pay will be difficult. The fact you were looking at an 05 and the one Fizz found at the same money was on 53 seems to back this up.

Beemers sell on the badge alone, there is no need to offer discounts to shift them. If you find one that looks like a good deal compared with others that are advertised, there will almost always be a reason and possibly the scent of a rat somewhere. You need to pay the going rate to get a good one or spend a long time looking and be patient.
