Hi all,
I'm about to take the plunge and buy my first BMW. I've seen one that I really like - it's a 1998 (E36) 328i Coupe. It's a decent colour, it's a manual (which I wanted), it's got all the toys, it's in amazing condition, and it's attractively priced. The one problem with it is the mileage - it's already got 148k (miles) on the clock. Now I don't particularly have a problem with that. I know it's been fantastically looked after and that, while it might be a bit more prone to problems than one with, say 70k on the clock, I think I'm getting a good deal. The potential problem comes in a couple of years when I want to sell it. Say it has done 170k by then - will anyone actually buy it? Obviously I realise it'll go for less than one with lower miles, but is there a market for cars with that high a mileage? Any thoughts much appreciated!
Thanks all, Richie
