Could Cry :( It might have to be sold

KeithL · 11th February 2012, 11:01

Called into office and just had a meeting with the transnport manager, apparantly replacing my BMW tourer with my ZT saloon has breached my employment contract (distribution agent). In black and white it states I have to have an Estate or van to do my job. As i cannot afford to have 2 cars this looks like it has to be sold to get such an estate or van, or lose my job.

Good lad, not been to the theatre of dreams for couple of seasons now!

One for sale on autotrader,same colour same year 10k miles more for £4995,dare say with yours having less miles and the recent clutch,you could ask a bit more.

KeithL · 11th February 2012, 17:02

at least a united victory cheered me up

i would be happy to get the 4995 i paid for her and lose out on the 900 for the full clutch system

I can confirm Keith's is indeed a nice car with genuine low miles, two keys

and no underlying issues.
The injector specs are amongst the best I've seen, cylinder balancing, MAF all ok, and well cared for in general.
Sad to see the red tape brigade at work here, as I'm sure Keith would struggle to find another as clean.
Whoever decides to buy this car certainly won't be disappointed, and you will have a car to last a long time into the future.

Having worked on this car myself I can also confirm it's a cracking example....................needs a wash under the bonnet though

KeithL · 12th February 2012, 08:18
