    How much rust is there particularly around the subframes, and what jobs need doing?
    Thanks

    Are decent VVCs now only worth £650? I know its winter (12 degrees!) but I would have thought this one would have sold really quickly............looks like it needs nothing, and has been cherished.
    Its odd, I have a similar experience of the BMW sites I'm on, lots of people wanting a car but then very few sell easily even at bargain prices on the forums. At least with ebay you occasionally get the person paying over the odds...........but a lot of idiots as well.
    Not wanting to start an 'opinions' thread on here but I'd hope this car goes to another person who would look after it as well as Marty.
    Think of it as an opportunity, its shed loads better than my blue one and I'd want £500 for that!!
