Title says it all. Looking for someone in Auckland region, preferable on north shore. I am located on the hibiscus coast. Must be automatic. Leather seats preferred.

Well I'm pretty keen on getting a 316i around '97... I really don't care about the power, I'd much rather spend less on petrol. Went into AA today to find out about mechanical warranty they offer, turns out its $1150 for 3 years and excess of $125. I don't quite know whether to get it, although in a 3 year period surely something will break that costs more then a thousand to repair? Any ideas? Also does anyone know about the actual km/L of these cars? Thanks very much for all the help!

Hey. Thanks for all the great information! Yeah, I am kind of set on a BMW but know pretty much nothing about cars. Don't really care about power as such, more about the comfort and reliability which the cars are said to possess. Cheers!

Hello. I'm 19 and have saved up about 7k for a car and I'm really interested in getting a BMW. I have looked around at the cars and can get a pretty nice deal for 7k (316i 134k '97). However, what I would like to know is how repairs on BMW's stack up against say a Toyota. Would it be possible to give a figure per year? I've heard if something breaks in a BMW it can cost well over a thousand and would just like to know what to expect if I choose to buy one. Thanks a lot for your time!
