Also another point to make, you may be able to afford to buy the car but are you sure you can afford to run it? I made that mistake with my saab. Payed for it with savings and had to sell it 9 months later due to high tax, insurance and 20mpg plus if it did ever go wrong, the cost of parts even second hand was out of my budget and i was on a good wage for my age at the time! Tyres? What size wheels is it? BMWs normally have large wheels so tyres will be expensive and buying cheap ones is a false economy imo.
We all moan about repairing these 306s but we are very fortunate that they are one of the cheapest cars about at the moment to repair both new and second hand parts! Just be careful and be sure you can afford to run it because ill tell you, i was gutted when i had to get rid of mine! And dont think it wont go wrong. You may be lucky and it might not but BMWs are not as reliable as people think.
