[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

Camera phone at the ready each time you get in the car. A faff, I know, which shouldn't be necessary. But if it breaks down again, it's all evidence for a return of the vehicle.

Jimmy will end up a nervous wreck, thinking.......is this the night his demonic bastard of a car is going to break down.

From experience I can say be firm, list every time the car has let you down and how.
I did this with a corsa i had, my dealer wanted to sell me another one the same age and spec minus the 2015 sat nav phone unit.
In my case I refused and because VX wanted to sell another unit like BMW will, we agreed on a new car with matching spec.
I'm guessing from what your saying you want nothing to do with BMW now?
If that's the case you can insist they pay off your finance and walk siting the cars unreliability and I'd expect they will want minimal fuss

[Lazydocker]

Failing all that, remember that you actually purchased the car from the finance company so get them on BMW's case

It's bound to be late at night while he's passing that layby with all the steamed up windows and blokes with anoraks and torches, too.

Be looking at around £27K if you sell it

Which would be taking a £5k bath on it.  .

But I would only go down that road if I were certain it were fully working again. It's one thing to have this sort of thing as luck of the draw, another thing entirely to knowingly pass it on to someone else.

That would effectively be a trade price allowing a retail margin and allowing for as yet undiagnosed issue

Sell it to STMO, The old boy need never know.

Judging by his previous car choice, and his other thread, I fear it may be a little understated for his tastes.

You know when they have these internet polls showing the ten worst cars of all time?

Well.......I believe dear old STMO has owned about seven of them.

[Doctor Gollum]

Vauxhall Omega, Mazda Rx8, Jaguar X type, Corsa B, Mercedes Golf trousers... Although to be fair at least the CLS had a proper engine...

[Viral_Jim]

I must say I have a soft spot for the Rex-8. For under £2k there seems to be plenty of fun to be had.

Really??  Have you been in one??   

Hateful hateful things. Possibly the single worst car I've ever had the misery of being transported in. Only went a mile and a half and I felt sick and I'm never car sick.

Let's see now. Recent history:
Omega CDX 2.5 V6
Saab 900 turbo
Honda legend 3.2 V6
Alfa 166 3.2 V6
Zafira 1.6
Astra H 1.6
Chevrolet Orlando 1.8 (Another zafira, really)
Astra J estate 1.4

Not bad really.


Up until recently, when you released the life sentence serving moths from your wallet, I believe you ran two ancient vauxhalls, an omega and a corsa. Boring.
