The big question is are you that desperate to get rid of the BMW, because that looks like a nail to be honest.

That MKII is only really worth £500. It looks a bit of nail to be honest.

Go and have a look. Get the engine hot etc etc.
Test drive, take somebody clued up on them.

I think somebody said 'How desperate are you' , one of you will gain one loose but then that's irrelevant if it's a small margin to loose. Do you want it or not?

i'd like something cheaper on fuel and insurance as work are screwing me over at the minute, especially since uni students are back and taking all the shifts, and preferably something with a longer tax and mot than i have. it just looks to me like cosmetic work on this golf but i haven't got as much of a clue as everyone else

Id rather have the golf but bearing in mind it would need tidying up a bit!

Think you're going to struggle getting a swap for something you want - the kind of people that have small engined Mk1/Mk2s aren't the sort of people who are going to want a 323. If you sell the BMW for £800, you should be able to pick up a 1.3/1.6 MK2 for half that.
