Update on this car....

You were all right to be suspicious..... Turns out this car was on a car transporter when the transporter overturned and went on its side off road into to a field and ditch....

Its unclear how much damage was on the car but I wreckon its had alot of paint.... :(

Used value cant be good.

Remember that too Diarmuid, didn't feel particularly special if you didn't know what it was - I don't get why you'd have wood trim on a car clearly not designed to fit into nature !!

Keep us posted, I'm intrigued to hear the full story.  Wouldn't mind knowing the ballpark final price too.  The prices seem to have taken a bit of a tumble of late and a 20k gap between a main stealer price and the one at Richfords tells a lot - dealer 20k below the specialist!  I seem to recall that my local dealer had one similar in colour, etc. to the one your pals pal bought in their showroom for a while.  IIRC the list price with the couple of options fitted was in the region of 168k.

This car has turned up again. It has been bought by a friend of a friend... Small world and all. I have yet to set eyes on it but I am now interested in its History. The guy who has bought it wouldnt know if it wasnt good.... he would only see the badge and colour... such a waste... :(

I will be making inquiries (spelling??)

The M6 is probably just impossible to sell at the minute - if you can afford it, why not just order new?

The above Jag is not owned by Richford.

I know the owner (my brother in law)
And its a perfect car with perfect history. So it could be an honest add for the BMW......
