The interior is cool and all, but I'm not too big on buying old used cars. You never know what could be wrong with them. You should seek the advice of a car mechanic to be honest, or at least see the MOT papers.

If you like it, make sure you take it to a BMW mechanic to check it out BEFORE you buy it. If the owner won't allow that, then don't buy it.

I don't buy cars for their looks, I buy for utility. As such, I would never buy a used car that has over 100,000 miles on it. That doesn't make any sense.

Based on the language of the ad ("immaculate condition"), the person selling the car thinks it's a pretty big deal. Me not so much. It's an old blue car as far as I'm concerned and not worth what the guy's charging.

If this is your first car, just buy something simple, and reliable. If you're seventeen, you'd look like a spoiled douche bag driving around in a BMW your parents bought for you.

BMWs do not have the best reliability, so I would say no. That car is probably on its last legs.

Not bad for a first car. If it's for your 17th birthday then it certainly won't be you last car and you can always improve cars by customising them inside and out. I say get it.

BMWs have a very high maintenance cost. I wouldn't recommend you buy that.

$10K for that car is a rip-off. Without the mods it's worth less than a quarter of that, and all the mods are cosmetic not performance-enhancing. There's no way they quadruple the value of the car.
