    Update:

    Car A.) ratty looking thing, kept outside for most of it's life – NO
    Car B.) Lovely car, excellent condition and well looked after, the alloys have started to corrode, but I'm told that happens to all 108s. I've also managed to get it for £7850ish. has had tyres and brakes done in the last 3 months.

    Daffy – just had my BM alloys done at this place:

    http://polishedwheelcompany.co.uk

    They had been painted (not very well) by the previous owner, I questioned Styner about it, they paid for them to be done – they look completely brand spanking new. Brake disks look rusty because I had just washed the car!

    Nice one on the car if you do get it – I'd say BM alloys aren't the most durable in the World so need looking after. At least 108s aren't too bad to clean – mine are a git! Just watch out for those studs – tend to attract dirt and corrosion.

    Assuming they are the 108s I think they are?

    Hey mat,

    Yup, those are the 108s, and you're right, they do tend to corrode around the bolts.

    See them all and tell them what price you'll offer them.

    As said on here- a car with half the mileage could be screwed compared to a higher mileage..

    Also call me cynical but all those are bang on average mileage- guessing they all have annual service receipts?

    I drove to Bath to see and buy my current car privately (200 miles each way?)
