Is a BMW 1 Series worth €5,000?

Is it worth buying a BMW 1 Series (116i) for €5,000 with a one-year warranty?

Hi there,

It's not possible for us to assess such an offer remotely as we know nothing about the car and its condition. You've also not mentioned the model year. Getting a one-year warranty on a used car is very reassuring, though.

I suggest you trawl the classifieds websites for similar models to get a feel for realistic values.
