discussion Looking for a Clean 320d - Budget R350k

[MLorgat]

As per the title, I'm looking for a clean F30 320d (LCI) if anyone has or knows of anyone who has 1 - Budget is R350k but can come up (especially if it's a G20)

It's for my younger brother, and this is the budget pops gave him. I recommended he look at a newish Japanese, South Korean or Chinese car, but he's dead set on the beemer. This is gonna be his daily for a long time to come, so I wanna get him something that's not gonna trouble (as these rarely do if mantained)

Please reach out with advice as well (he's only 19 and daily drives a Corolla, so this is a decent step up, but will require more expensive Maintenance)

Even though the title says 320d LCI, I'm gonna rock the boat a bit and play devil's advocate for R350k or less:

EDIT: Since he's only 19, a 320d would be a lot more safer to buy. Being young age and having a fast car, we tend to land ourselves in trouble (I know from experience).

Did you miss the part where the kid is only 19 and has little driving experience?

Oh flip, only saw that now.

Yeah I think lets play it safe and stick to a 20d for now.

For his age, I would try to convince him to go for a 120d (either the coupe or the hatch). A saloon seems a bit too much for a 19 year old.

Autotrader has a few of these (from “reputable dealers” and there is some change to be had for R350k. Enough change for some decent exterior mods.
