I need a car

Post by Wilkinson46 » Mon Jul 28, 2014 2:01 pm

Some time ago I sold my Z4M ..... A real regret.... I would like to find a replacement,.. not just any replacement .. a black interior, dark exterior and very low mileage... Is there such a car out there... guaranteed sale if the price is right and in mint condition.. If you have one or can tell me where to find one please let me know ( I am a ginger (sorry) so cannot be any red, orange or yellow).

Might help narrow the search if you tell people if you're after a roadster or a coupe?

Where you live....what sort of money you want to spend....

What do you consider 'very low mileage'?

Yeh, some extra specifics would help narrow your search.

If you want to tempt a seller out, maybe tell them what your budget is.

i.e. I have an 8k Carbon Black Z4MC with black nappa interior, very high spec and a full BMW service history.

Going rate for a car this spec would be £30k+.....guaranteed sale?

Sorry, mine isn't for sale, just trying to narrow it down in case I find anything for you. Very used to seeing people asking for <30k mile cars but not wanting to pay above £15k.

Sometimes you have to be realistic. I'll keep my eyes peeled. Worth registering your interest with Munich Legends and Hexagon as they are the two most likely places to have seen what you're after.

Good luck.

Thank you....I thought you were going to let go of your beautiful car.... I am happy to pay the price that suits the car.. A few weeks a go I saw a mint Z4M with 2k miles... and would have been happy to pay the £40k asking price but it was red... bright red.. so for me it just could not be done (Ginger).. I will keep looking and fingers crossed one will appear. I have even asked the local BMW dealers to look and so far no luck.

Maybe I should buy the red and respray..

Doesn't sound like you'll have trouble if budget isn't an issue. Roughly: below £15k for anything over 50k miles, above £15k for those cars lower as a general rule if thumb IMO.

50k cars over the past 6 months or so have been selling around the £16k mark.

However, once a car gets over 60k they tend to "fall off a cliff" in terms of price.

As you're looking for an ultra low mileage example, cars with 20-30k mileage will be priced £20-18k. A sub 20k car will be £20k+.....as they get lower the prices get silly (as noted the red example for £40k).

Fair point re: 60k milers. If it were me I'd be looking for the 20-30k examples and around £18k to spend.
