BMW 3 SERIES Estate 2006 5 doors
Here's your chance to own a rare and highly sought-after BMW 320i, known for its refined driving experience, classic styling and premium build quality. This is a ULEZ-compliant model, making it ideal for city driving and future-proof against emission zone charges. The car is mechanically sound and starts and drives well. It does have some cosmetic imperfections including a dent on the front driver's side, the trunk handle needs replacing and a few minor scratches/age-related marks but nothing that takes away from the car's elegant presence. A few dashboard warning lights are currently showing (brakes, GPF service required, airbag & seat belt),timing chain needs replacing, hence the reduced price. With a little TLC and investment, this car has the potential to be brought back to its former glory, offering the next owner a stylish, comfortable and powerful vehicle at a fraction of the cost of newer models. Great opportunity for a BMW enthusiast or anyone looking for a premium car on a budget.

£1,500 View MoreAudi D2 A8s 4.2 Quattro
First generation Audi A8 4.2 Quattro Sport in Black with grey leather interior. Mechanically good condition. However, there is an oil leak coming from the front of the engine somewhere that isn't bad enough to be an MOT fail but should really be repaired. Under gentle driving only the smallest oil drop seeps out but at extended high engine revs the leak is enough to drop oil onto the exhaust and cause smoke. It's not a difficult job for a home mechanic type person with tools/equipment but, would be costly due to the hours of labour required if taken to a garage for repair. I have personally serviced/repaired the car during the many years I have owned it, replacing the cambelt etc recently, but it's no longer possible for me to maintain the car so I'm selling it at a low price to help the new owner offset costs involved with repairing the oil leak. Electrically all the toys worked until recently when cruise control stopped working. That is likely to be just a dirty connection to one of the sensors involved. The bodywork is ok and can look really nice but there are few little dinks from car parking and some areas where the paint laquer is failing. The front bumper is cracking apart. I do have a replacement bumper, in silver at the moment, that will be included with the car. There's also included an expensive proffesional leather re-colour kit from the states, to bring the interior back up to spec. The car really is a joy to drive. It's supremely comfortable and effortles. I get 40MPG on long gentle motorway journeys. It will however quickly drop to 15MPG in stop start traffic or when pressing the loud pedal hard! The V8 sound is phenominal and hard to resist sometimes. I am selling the car reluctantly and only because my circumstances have changed making it impossible for me to personally maintain it.

£1,450 View MorePeugeot 207 Sport CC Convertible 1.6L Petrol 1 Year MOT - Just Serviced
Peugeot 207 Sport CC Convertible The car has only covered 72,084 miles and has been exceptionally well maintained throughout its life. It drives faultlessly, has almost a full years MOT, full service history + a recent service less than 100 miles ago - along with new brakes and other preventative maintenance. The bodywork isn’t the best, but given its age it’s not bad. Mechanically It needs nothing and is ready to be enjoyed by its new owner. The clutch biting point is nice and high so has loads of life left in it, drives smoothly and everything works as it should. including the electric roof. The aircon is ice cold only having recently been re-gassed and there are no electrical faults, dashboard errors or anything untoward. Only reason for sale is my partner has decided to move on from the convertible life into a hatchback. General Info: MOT – Valid until 26th July 2026 Only advisories were for slightly play in a ball joint and the nearside front tyre being near the legal limit on the edge, however it still has over 4-5mm across both front tyres, I think the MOT tester was a bit harsh, but nonetheless this is the only other advisory on the car to monitor over the next year. The car has only had 4 previous keepers. It has a 1.6L 120 horsepower petrol engine and manual gearbox Spec list: Being the sports edition, the spec list is above and beyond that of the lesser models benefiting from a host of extras as below: ABS Alloy wheels CD Drivers’ airbag Electric mirrors Front electric windows Front fog lights Heated mirrors Height adjustable driver’s seat Isofix child seat anchor points Power steering Passenger airbag Rear electric windows Remote locking Service indicator Side airbags Space saver spare wheel Sports seats Steering wheel rake adjustment Steering wheel reach adjustment Air Con Body coloured bumpers History: The original owners booklet, wallet, manual, service booklet are all still present along with receipts and paperwork for everything detailed below Service History: 220 Miles – Run in / first inspection check 2283 Miles 4326 Miles 6236 Miles 8860 Miles 10,660 Miles 12,262 Miles 15,929 Miles 17,703 Miles 23,619 Miles 50,788 Miles 54,659 Miles 69,741 Miles (Full service) 72,019 Miles – Inspection and MOT In addition to the service intervals above, the car has also had the following works carried out: 69,471 Miles – Full set of front and rear discs and pads + OSR brake caliper replaced 69,741 Miles – OSR coil spring replaced (+ Full Service) 69,782 Miles – NSR coil spring replaced 71, 203 Miles – Exhaust flexi replaced As you can see, the car has been maintained well beyond manufacturer service intervals has only just had an MOT and service within the last 100 miles. The only things that let this car down is a key mark courtesy of some inconsiderate vandals on the driver side rear quarter, I have polished this out as best I can and and being silver it isn’t horribly obvious, a professional could probably polish this back to barely being noticeable, however as the car is no longer in use or taxed / insured and off the road we’re letting it go as is and taking this into account on the price. There’s a few marks on the rear bumper also. Nothing show stopping but would rather just be upfront – it is still in far better condition than most I’ve seen for sale. Otherwise, other than the odd stone chip or age-related mark, there’s nothing to call out. It is a genuinely looked after motor and a really cheap way fun way to enjoy some time with the roof down, and as much as I hate to admit it, it’s actually quite fun to drive!
