4200 looking good value

[D Walker]

Best Stick with ordinary,

I tend to pay for half of a car upfront and finance the rest if rates are favourable - if not I do same as Geoff and buy outright.

Price is maybe about right for a 2004 with 60K, even though it's a facelift. Reasonable price for a good car. Get a report from Emblem if they have worked on it..??

I don't like buying cars on finance. By the time you've paid it off, it's worth less than you paid.
And as a 'toy' I'd prefer to pay cash.

Agree but you said you had to plough money into project

I have. Could have bought this one, and have change. Hopefully the return with far exceed the investment.

Seems a bit weird investing in myself!

Having recently bought a 2005 60,000 mile 4200 I feel the prices have dropped by a couple of thousand due to winter and will start to rise again in spring SO BUY IT NOW !!!!!!

Same here, I could but I just know I would regret the interior,
Lets hope your investment works out!!

Wrong Andy, are you ever wrong?

Misguided occasionally, especially your love of German status symbols but surely never wrong

 

[Contigo]

No Andy I didn't! But the Mrs seems to think it's a good idea!

A conference call tomorrow will give me a good idea if we're on the right track.

I would consider buying this car if it wasn't for the blue dash/door interior. I am really not a big fan of any blue dashes....not for me. Shame really as seems like some good facelift value there.

 

[Contigo]

Something keeps drawing me back to it and I do t know why. I like the dash actually but the Blu is a little weak. If I didn't have the 3200 to fix up this month is be all over it.

 

[rockits]

It doesn't smack me in the face but I think it looks like sound car and priced reasonably. If Dicky had it prior to the current owner it would have been a sound car. I guess it costs a chunk in running costs and depreciation due to the mileage to do 25k in 30 months in one of these. Not sure I would have had deep enough pockets to have done this. I am only doing 3k a year though I guess I should consider it.

Phil, just do it...you know you want to...

 

[hodroyd]

Always a reason not to buy, be brave and get in there, no regrets then..!!

 

[rockits]

This one is now sold I believe....I keep missing them by a few days so just need to adjust my timing a little!

 

[rockits]

Did a forum member buy it?

 

[BennyD]

I'm sure time will tell.

 

[Contigo]

Alex not sold it yet, wtf are you waiting for? Anyone who doesn't have a Maser needs a kicking for not buying this.

Car needs alloys refurbing and there is a small scuff on the side sill. Get an offer in about a K under the asking and that should cover the refurb costs.
