Hi Guys,
I am looking to buy either a 2005 or 2006 BMW 320d. My question is: What is a reasonable cost vs mileage trade off for this car. Had a look on Autotrader and Prices vary between R85000 and R160,000. I commute daily from Randburg to Hatfield (140km) and want to buy the diesel for its economy. Can use the Gautrain as well but I'm usually always late for my classes when I have to walk to UP campus or even take the bus.
Gautrain costs are about R2400 a month. would the 320d be a better option for me?
At what mileage are these cars better to forget about?
My budget is around R100,000 but I just can't justify spending it on an E46 diesel.
I am considering this one: http://www.autotrader.co.za/used-cars/bm...l/3-series
P.S.
No Polo's!![Fishwack]( "Fishwack")
