	Well, sort of. Talk to Trevor at Grant's in Wellington 01823 662067 as he had a lovely Boston green 740i (P reg?) with all the extras but 170'000 miles. I think he wanted about �3500 and it runs and drives 100%. For this money, you've got a lot left over to run it and if it's okay at 170k it'll be okay at 250k! At this mileage, lots of bits will have been replaced as well.....
