Help please re legal action

[outnumbered]

As this car was for sale at a dealer 6 months ago with 64000 up, it'd be worth any buyer understanding why the current owner is selling so quickly.

Maybe he was just scratching an itch, ticking a box, or whatever people do, but another way of looking at it is that he's only done 700 miles in it, and he's selling in the prime CSL usage season. We know he declined an inspection and agreed a lower price with someone else.

If the car turns out to need it subframe done then £1400+VAT at Redish is hardly the end of the world and you can likely do a few more maintenance jobs in the process (thinking brake pipes, bushes etc etc).

These are old cars now and they will have issues. I'm not sure what an inspection really tells you that you can't foresee yourself.

Very true, it depends how you view life i suppose.

Without an inspection I wouldn't know the compression, any leaks of oil, what it was like underneath, the boot floor, the engine number, the smg , suspension, brakes etc. someone that has these cars on ramps all day long would spot things us mortals wouldn't even notice.

It takes a bold man, in my humble opinion, to just splurge £30k plus on what is an old e46 after just a short test drive. Many people do it, but we are getting to the stage where most people will be wanting inspections etc.

I may be wrong, who knows, but I'd want an inspection for my peace of mind.

Steady Cozzzie! What you're referring to is probably the best car BM have made

seriously though if you want an inspection you have one.
