    I will stick to a German car that is not BMW/Audi.
    How is your Opel Astra doing?

          As opposed to a Mercedes made in Stuttgart by Turkish people?

Ask them to do a thorough inspection, and come up with a list of what needs changing on a scale of 1-10. If there is something scary like smoky turbo, leaking shock absorbers, leaky gearbox etc, then you want to stay away from it. A hundred quid spent now would be well worth it later onwards.
            Called up Rochdale Williams (Next to that garage place). Charge £225 + VAT. isn't that a bit excessive!

              I traded it for a Zafira, which is essentially another Astra in disguise.

                how is it you only have 188 posts, I'm sure you have posted at least 10 times that. Or is it just that each on of your posts is 10 x as inflammatory as everybody else....

                  Well they can see you coming.
                  They're thinking: a guy buying a 10 year old, >100K BMW will be expecting some hefty bills, let's start as he means to go on.

                    Might have a point if I had told them what I was buying....

                      That's how much they charge per hour. You are either wealthy enough to own and run a BMW, or you drive a French car.

                      Wear your BMW service charges with honour!
