My BMW Nightmare By Rene Foreman Well where do i start I saw this car on eBay last year for £11,300 it was a black bmw 330 diesel m sport so i placed a bid and won it. It was in wales and I was based in Sheffield so it was a good drive down to see it, But when I did I fell in love with it because it looked mint ok it was a high miler with 102,000 on the clock but it was a bmw and a diesel so I paid cash and drove it home the same day. The following week i took it for a service and it all went wrong from there, The guy at the garage said it was ruff and had signs of rallying, It came out of that garage the following week and i was 2 grand (£2000.00) lighter. I then drove the car for 5 months trouble free but in the 6 month disaster a car pulled out on me whack by by frontend, the repair cost around 6 grand (£6000.00), it was close to a right off so 2 weeks later I got it back (the guy at the garage said it was mint now better than when id bought it). All was ok for a month or 2 but then the engine management lights came on, So it went to the garage again for a service and engine management lights to be turned off £245 later, I had it back thinking brill got my car back and it mint again so yesterday I drove to Cleethorpes and guess wot the bloody clutch is going if i put my foot down the engine rev's and spins. verdict never buy a high mileage car again

Thank you for sharing this eye-opening story, Rene.
It can be a great deal of fun to own a classic car, but buyer beware is the key word with private sales.
Keep up the good work.
Best wishes.
Frederick
