So my lovely 2010 white IS-F has gone, she will be missed and we all shed a tear as she was driven away by her lucky new owner. Great guy called Adam hopefully he will join up so the car can stay on the forum.

Have had an amazing 3 years ownership and she never caused me any issues, such an epic car!

Thanks for all the conversations, tips advice etc over the last 3 years, a friendly and very exclusive club to have belonged too!

I have put an order down on a brand new shape 330d xdrive M Sport Touring, with M Sport+ package and every other box on the options list ticked! Got a great deal so I just kept ticking! Only thing I'm wondering if I should have done was go for the 335d instead! Car should arrive in September.

Hopefully this won't be goodbye forever, just a couple of years, but that GS-F is looking tempting for then.

Bye for now and enjoy your amazing cars!

All the best and congrats with the sale. I'm sure you'll enjoy the Beemer.

Thanks guys!

Was a particularly quick and effortless sale and good price too, so hopefully that is a good indicator for you guys wanting to change in the next 12 months, I had a lot of genuine calls, but the first guy to call the night the advert went up came 2 days later and bought it then and there for near enough asking. Maybe I priced it too cheap??? But I think he just knew a good deal and knew it was a rare model and colour. Anyway I'm happy and he is happy which is great!

I have actually called the dealership this morning to find out what the difference will be to change my order to a 335d as I think it will always bug me! Fingers crossed!

Great news! Few questions if I may?

- How did you accept payment?

- Assume you let him test drive? Did you take money first?

Glad it was so slick :)

I didn't let him test drive no, he fully understood that too. I took him out on an extra long blast though at all different speeds and using the different modes and he seemed happy with that.

He left me a good size deposit through online transfer before he left that eve. We then arranged for him to come back Saturday as I had to put plate on retention and he had to move funds around. He then came back on the Saturday and sent online funds again to the same account for the remainder which is instant. Once I could see all the money together as the full agreed price in the one account, I gave him the keys, did the docs which is all online now and instant, he did his tax, I gave him a walk through of the controls and off he went!

All safe and slick. Wouldn't do it any other way in future.

One last question, what site attracted the most interest in terms of autotrader, eBay, piston heads?

Posted

I only put it on auto trader to start with and it went it in pretty much 2 days, so didn't get a chance to try out the rest!

Posted

It's the white one 10 plate on auto trader, went for a few hundred off the asking. Just to give you an indication of market values.

I may have priced it too cheap given the interest, but I was happy with the sale and also the chap it went too, he loved it as much as I did!

Seems a steal to me. As long as you are happy with the price that's all that matters.

well it was around the price i would have paid myself. I think many of the older ones are too expensive myself. Good luck with the new motor.

Sorry to see you go,thanks for all your support over the years,just because you are moving to BMW doesn't mean you can't remain a member of the LOC, just don't ask about BMW problems if they should arise I aint got a clue about them :)
