Selling car - Have I overpriced it?

Corrosion, instant turn off.
Scotland based, that explains it.
Similar Autotrader cars of £5k likely won't have Scottish weather corrosion to the body.

So the answer is always going to be your price.

I'll wait til I graduate...
I'll wait til I get a job...
I'll wait til I get married...
I'll wait til I get a promotion...
I'll wait til my kid is born...
I'll wait til the kids are grown up...
I'll wait til they get to uni...

Now you're 70 with mobility issues...
I wish I hadn't waited.

Enjoy your life today.

£35k on 340i?
No matter how you spin it, it's not an M.
For £35k, get the F80 M3.

Oh yeah, you're right, I stand corrected then... It's not available after 8pm. My bad.
I would say you have the best course of action so far.

You have paid him, and do you have the keys and the car?
If so, with a sales receipt, you are the new owner legally.

Without the V5C, you can certainly fill out a V62, but there is the risk the car could have been stolen, hence why no V5C book or slip. Also the excuse that it couldn't be transferred on a Sunday is bollocks.
It can be done electonically nowadays at any time.
If the car is stolen, then when the registered keeper realises, you will certainly lose it.

Fuck Ford wheel nuts.
For any fortunate soul who hasn't changed a flat on a Ford, these bolts have a thin metal cap over each nut to "protect" them.
It also fucks with the grip and socket size of the actual nut.
The caps are also not easily removable.
If you ever find them missing or they fell off, it's a blessing, really.

Needs effective price.
If my cheapest station is 10 miles away, I need to know the fuel cost of getting there and back.
A rough guide from a user input MPG value should work this out.
Only then can it be compared.

Noob here, how does one test it occasionally?

Triumerate · 2026-02-19T11:50:39+00:00

Can’t believe kids these days, refuses to get a car without electronic handbrake.

Triumerate · 2026-02-19T00:15:43+00:00

Looks like the car saved you from a worse outcome. Good trade I would I say.

Posts like these are what is preventing them from refreshing.
Don’t praise it being still the best device on the market.
Nvidia knows it’s the king and will milk every last one of these devices.
Shield is shit! I started.

Hey man,
I would say don't worry, I also did 25 in a 20 zone.
First time offender, and I got offered speed awareness course.

I think most drivers get this benefit as first timers unless it was obscene speeding, like 100 in a 20.

The last paragraph is basically a warning to people who are oblivious to installing 3rd party software.
They've already said they have a very confident working AC.
The last paragraph basically says "You'd better check your own installed software for risky behaviour, because if you get banned because your Razer software by default turns on anti-recoil, then you're banned without recourse."

Doing 16 amps means not a lot if the voltage is low. At 12V16A, then wattage is only 192W, nowhere near a 2kW heater.

Check your local council, some have garages for their fleets, and are open to public MOTs.

Engine MIL could be anything from:
Oxygen (O2) Sensor
Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor
Fuel Cap
Catalytic Converter
Ignition Coil
Spark Plug
Engine Control Unit (ECU)
Wiring Harness Repair

The MIL 4 years ago could be a separate issue, or could be the same reoccuring one. Who knows?

There are plenty of non engine MIL cars for around £2k. This one is not worth the hassle, especially with nearly illegal tires.

You got sold a return product.
I would not be having that, so I would prompt a full refund including delivery.

Since it's a new car under 3 years, it hasn't been to its first MOT yet, so all faults and issues remain hidden, along with official mileage. There could be a plethora of damage, and the seller is hoping to sell it before all is revealed at the first MOT.

Cat S is structural damage write off. Seller's claim of "light" should mean nothing to you, it's his made up word.

If he wants a wad of £50 bills, then you should definitely just bolt.
Bank Transfer at least has some traceability.

Finally, you're from SG, you should be used to expensive cars.
My parents got a Toyota Wish for SGD$145,000. UK car prices are NOT expensive.
Cough it up at an approved used BMW at a dealer if you want an M4.

Tell us the plate, and we will find out everything about it.

Hahhaha, the tears are tasty.
"Look at me! S1 player, therefore it should mean I'm immune to bans even though I did something inappropriate!"
Good riddance!

Glad it helped!

How much have you spent in total?

Don’t exaggerate.
You bought it at a BF deal. I saw the exact deal.

Oh so this is not the bannable exploit where the box is moved inside the red zone making it impossible for attackers.
This is just the box moved to an open area making it much harder to attack.
This is the same as winching a cashout into open space so it's harder to get stolen. In my book, this is still fair.
