New car advice again... 407 coupe

[Toms306]

Depends what parts you want Niall, equivalent parts for servicing ect really don't cost much more for most newer cars, oil, filters, brakes etc are roughly the same (I say equivalent becuase the beemer obviously won't have 247mm discs like an XUD lol). And if you get a common car like a Golf, mondeo or vectra etc theres loads around for second hand parts or panels. I was amazed how much you have to pay for 306 panels compred to Golf ones as they're getting rare in good condition now! The things that cost more are the modern tech parts, VNT turbos, injectors, DMFs, DPFs etc which you'ds expect, and they'll be on both the beemer and the 407 afaik. It's one of the things I really looked into before buying my new purchase, and turned out servicing won't cost any extra, you just have to hope that the bigger parts don't break lol.


Also, I dunno where you're getting a DMF done for £500, add another grand to that lol....
