Not the sort of car you'd want to buy from auction really.

I think the price feels about right given the mileage. If it's ex-lease, it is probably pov-spec too.

The BMW 760iL is a lot of car for the money if you are brave.....

I know!

If it is an ex-lease prob has a good service history ? & at that price you could spend a bit on it & have a good car.

Personal opinion, but even with a full history, I wouldn't touch a car over 60k miles, never mind 90k miles!

[Schuey]

Price is about right, but not forgetting, buyers fee, road tax plus any work the car may need.

Mileage is not a problem assuming it's direct from a lease company, agree with the spec comment though, highly likely it was a basic spec at that price.

No offence, but that's bulls*it.

Yes, lease cars might have a full history, but they aren't cherished by their owners, because ultimately if anything falls off, the lease user isn't paying for the fix - it's his/her employer footing the bill.

Plus, some of the stories the missus has told me about the maintenence of her leased cars makes me cringe...

Got any to share? My Dad told me to avoid lease cars and I always wondered why.

^^^^^ Think about it. These are mostly work cars, not a private car that you show TLC.

Example: SWMBO drove the best part of East Kilbride - Perth (75miles ish) on no oil, then used the wrong grade for the rest of the trip to Aberdeen (150+ miles).

She wondered why the car - MKIV 2.0 GTI, funnily enough - broke down in a spectacular plume of smoke on the way back... 

I mean, we get the option to buy SWMBO's lease car at a discount when the lease period ends, and I've passed up the opportunity TWICE.... Aforementioned GTI and an Audi A3 TDi - speaks volumes, I think!
