It's a real weird market at the moment, prices are all over the place, I think a lot of people just see the screen price and think I'll have that one as its cheaper, but they don't look deeper.
If you buy one that needs tyres in couple of months, that's another £1K at least, if it wants little niggles sorted, bushes/cv gators/sensors/ pixels/alloys, maybe a service, you know, the usual things on these cars, then that soon adds up, but that doesn't seem to enter some buyers heads as they think they bought the car cheap, it's not until they sit down and add up all the bills that you realise that it wasn't that cheap.
We all know that you will have the normal running costs, but these are not normal vehicles.

Pictures always make a car look good and it may not be quite the same when you view a car in the metal.  I had experience of this garage and that car was an X5 up for 14k,

The prices of X5 are varying a lot there are with some 3.0d on 06 plates for which is a lot.
