I definitely want an estate, makes all the sense in the world for us... All wheel drive E91 would be even better, not sure how they stack up with everything else AWD but I'm pretty hooked on the idea of getting one now... I just can't believe the prices, what's the catch I'm not seeing?

Servicing history needs to be impeccable. I know they have a lot of cooling system issues and plastic components that age badly.
Also, your insurance might be quite high.

IDK. How cheap are we talking?
Isn't it just the usual premium car issues?
- status car no longer the current bodyshape
- heavy depreciation
- expensive parts
- expensive labour
- the above two mean after 3yrs/first owner they less likely to be maintained passing work down the line
- supply / demand (for eg how many car buyers want an old status car with no status which after repairs could cost the same as a newer dull car?)
- status car no longer the current bodyshape

Personally I’d never buy a saloon when an estate version was available of whatever the model in question is- all about the wagon life, as I believe they say.
Anyone watched Dale/Dogsballs on Street Machines YouTube channel talking about his 1,030 bhp Ute?
