Ossy Osbournes 745i Schnitzer

How it's presented is the key, I agree there Rob.
Hiabboy, I imagine you get them all, those that say 'if I had the space', or I want it but can't afford to run it etc etc, plus the classic 'it needs all this done' (and all for £400) but Rob's right, a £400 car is ideal as a runner for the school run, or for many tradesman that prefer a car to a van! Can you mail me the spec of the Saphire 735i please, as I may know someone who may be looking in the next few weeks.
Cheers

Schnitzer - for £10k less you could have had a twin
Turbo Alpina B7

Ozzy Osbourne is an illiterate, incomprehensible
Brummie who fronted a very average group 20 years
ago and as such, can't be taken too seriously.
Famous for being famous I believe.

Robs E23 - how exactly do you make a profit on a
£50 car when selling for £400? An MOT is about £30
and in my limited experience, £50 cars are normally
knackered rubbish needing loads of time and money
spent.
In my 22 years selling cars (proper ones), I came to
the conclusion 21 years ago that old bangers are the
hardest cars to sell. When the buyers only have £300
in the whole world, they seem to get a lot more fussy.
We would just put all the part exchange junk (i.e
anything older than 10 years) into Blackbushe
auction with the instructions to dispose of it at any
price - one Montego sold for a pound, about 99p
more that it was worth.
But I guess an E23 habit beats Golf or fishing!

von paulus,i can buy 1997 or 1996 ford escort ghia with slight front damage for £100 and sell for£1500 so your saying wheres the profit. i can usually pick a car up for £50 not just the imaculate one owner low milage 60,000 from new e23 but any age of car usually from salvage companies. or auctions, remember i do all my own repairs, and dont contract out to any garage. i also hold down a full time job in the print industry so cars are my other living. right for the people who only have £300 to spend on a car they are usually genuine people who work hard and dont have a lot so yes £300 is a lot of money to them. we live in a world where money rules our lives most ordinary folk dont have a lot. for some money isn"t a issue. so those people who have money and who think that the man with only £300 in his pocket is scum, well those people deserve to rot in hell. i tell you what, dont walk around saying to me when you sold proper cars, well mate its a changing world. im saying i can sell £400 cars all day. its harder to sell a car for over £1200 beacuse most people then want finance. the person with £300 in his pocket knows what he wants and is proud of what he gets. ps i never never buy from a auction house only salvage auctions. you get to many dodgy dealers floging all the crap there..

Oh, and decent hard working people normally have a
good credit rating and wouldn't buy £350 junk.

Okay! I'm humbled and a big sorry :-(

But did the £350 include the wheels and the other
bits??
We still have ours - a 1986 535i SE (the M535i but
without the bodykit) manual which is an excellent old
thing. Still very fast as well. Probably not worth
anything which is criminal really.

I did like the E28, much better car than the E23. The
E34 is better than both of them put together however
and you can buy those for peanuts these days. If you
can do all your own maintenance and repairs, i
guess these old sheds are worth having. But these
days it seems that everyone will just throw a car
away at the slightest hint of trouble. Crazy.

"Guaranteed used cars" used to mean 'when we
guarantee a car has been used, believe me, it's
been USED"

Serriously, when a car went to the scrapyard 10 or 20
years ago, it was totally knackered or rotten.

So why are you messing around with £300 E23's?

Something to do with affordability? E23s are the closest to the concept of "owt for nowt"
