Any expressions of interest?

Condition is still similar to that shown in the above pics from last year, mileage now on 92k or thereabouts. MOT until Jan 2015, no advisories. Tax until end Sept.

Just had a new high pressure fuel pump, and will come with a new battery.

Only bad bits I know of are an intermittent slightly wavering idle and it needs topping up with oil every now and then, nothing major but a small amount of consumption.

Lovely leather seats, cold AC, working cruise control and rear parking sensors. ISOFIX brackets fitted in the rear left passenger seat. Easily get 45MPG+ on a motorway run, 40ish around town.

Offers around £500? Or £450 if you don't want a new battery!

I'm interested, though can't PM either as I've only just registered! my email is sam.james20@gmail.com if you'd like to fire me an email?
Cheers
Sam

Car looks stunning for the year. I quite like the GDIs, I think they are a decent engine with a lot of undeserved bad press. I would love this car, but as a student with 3 already, I would be living on borrowed time if I were to get another!! Good luck with the sale buddy, I'm sure this will be snapped up sharp.

Sorry for the delay folks. See here, ignore the ambitious Gumtree pricing. (you never know what people are willing to pay on there unless you try!)

I figure it's worth half a grand of anyone's money.

Best offers? Let me know if you want to view via PM here or Gumtree.

No takers at all? Needs to go this month before the tax runs out!

My old 18i averaged about 37mpg on a commute in to london.

I've had the fuel computer reading in excess of 60MPG on a 59mph motorway run. It is optimistic, but actual was still over 50MPG. 59mph seems to be the highest speed at which the GDI "economy" mode works. Saying that, the fuel computer reads very similar figures whether cruising at 59mph or 60mph in "performance" mode.
