It’s a Oct 2013, 16k miles. It was up for £16750, I negotiated to 15,950 plus 2 years BMW + (warranty plus no issue call out). £5k down, £128 per month for 3 years £9k final payment limited to 8k miles pa. It’s important to realise I only drive max 6k per year and I intend to exchange the car for a 3 series in two years, never paying the baloon payment. For me this is cheapish motoring until nursery payments end and free up some more money.
Fwiw all of the “what’s my car worth” sites value it between £14500 and £17000, dependant on condition. And seriously it is A1 all over.
Make sense?
The flaw in my plan is I love the car, such a massive improvement from the original and so smooth even on 18″ run flats’ 62mpg on a recent 100m motorway run, I’m averaging 55, and our Kuga will be 10 years old in 2 years. Mrs K, knowing it’s all the car I really need is thinking we should change the Kuga for a Hybrid petrol suv or estate (it does the school runs) and I keep the Bmw. Anyway I’ll worry about that in two years time!
Ps : Tim c description above is spot on btw, you need to drive the 120d – the engine to go for – to appreciate 7 secs, 320nm and 60mpg in a RWD brilliantly handling package, it’s ridiculous in a smiley way.
Got to drive it to appreciate it.
