Anyone used Buyacar.co.uk ?

Potential savings of just over 14%

Is it too good to be true?

Brand new and registered to you as the 2nd keeper for extra savings

[BigBanana]

I am aware of the second keeper...

I'm looking to replace my current ride.

I've been offered £7k px for my '07 325dse with 75k + miles on it. 1 owner, from a main dealer.

Extras on it were metallic paint (titanium silver), Blue tooth, errr.. I think that's it.
Oh, err, mats.

So I don't think a second registered owner, particularly as it would be a dealer, will make dick shit to the re-sale value offered in 3 to 4 years time.....

I'll take the 14% off now thank you very much, if it's genuine.

The site even detail some option changes from 30/8/10 which three dealers didn't mention yesterday.

There is a new option for bluetooth.
It costs £245 (BMW price) rather than £535 for the 'telephone prep'. The difference is, you don't get the sharks fin aerial and the option of spending £50 for a cradle, each time you change your 'phone.

Of course, if you don't use the cradle, the sharksfin is purely cosmetic anyway.
(Like mine is).

Enquiring of one dealer today of that specific option, initially provided incorrect information. They were unaware of it. Investigated, then stated it was needed in addition to the blurtooth prep. Although they did phone back an hour later with the correct information.

It would be nice to have some positive feedback on the supplier, before committing.

Why don't you go direct to a BMW dealer and use Buyacar.co.uk to help your bargaining? Their prices do look very good.

You'll get 14% off new from BMW, i've got just over that on the last 2 cars from them, just take any broker quote in and they'll beat it.
