BMW 1 Series - BMW 1 series ad - not sure how legit - TheDoc
Hi guys,

I've just seen this ad on autotrader and it looks too good to be true (which I understand it normally is) but it seems to be with a dealer.

www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/20140105082...p

Any thoughts?

Cheers chaps

Its a Cat D with illegal tints. A car you wish could talk so it could tell you what sort of life it has had!

...but it does "DRIVE SUPERBLY!", repeated 3 times in case you didn't see it the first time! I suppose we should thank heavens for small mercies, that it doesn't "DRIVE SUPERB!" ;-)

By the way OP, is that your postcode (Pinner)?

According to the postcode of the dealer, they're in the Lozells area of Birmingham - hardly five minutes from New Street Station unless you're on speed or similar. Wonder if it is just cars they deal in.

Close inspection of the photos indicates a fairly grubby car. Stained seats, scraped leather off the steering wheel and those tinted windows would put me off as would a dealer with no land line.
