Going to look at this on Saturday, intention to buy - hopefully somewhat healthy and can pick up for a good price. Carjam says they’ve had it for 5 years, but under the presumption of no service history I’m debating whether: I take the punt if it seems to check out ok and nothing too funny -fluids/noises etc… then scan it back in Auckland. Or get the peace of mind, try and get my mate who knows how to use the scanner down in another car. Keen on the idea of taking the punt but probably not the smartest option…

Awesome, this is also real helpful so I’ll do some looking around and take into consideration. Fingers crossed re: receipts and service history but will just have to wait and see. It’s funny, some of the aftermarket brands that pop up which actually have some quality… Cheers again!

Good point actually - makes sense. Cheers mate

Hi All Looking to convert to European after a few years of being on the K20A train. I’m set on a (lower k’s preferred) manual 130i. Though not a fan of the beige interior so far and have patiently, albeit regularly, looked at Trademe/FB for any new listings as the current ones look like they may need a bit of work - which is fine, though not yet ready to bite the bullet on any of them. Just extending the search here in case anyone knows of a tidy manual 130i that could reluctantly be let go of, but comforted knowing that it will go to a great owner who will continue to keep it in good shape. Preferably based in AKL. Any help is appreciated, cheers.
