Greetings everyone

Post by nugget16 » Tue May 26, 2015 1:16 pm

I'm looking forward to a new Z4 very soon, current car Triumph Stag and no it does not overheat lol I was going to but an S2000 up until you need to really work that engine to get the best out of it.
Now I have always driven V8s with loads or low down grunt so the straight 6 Beamer will do for me .

Can I ask you wise heads what you think of this car its a cat D with 27000k looks like an easy repair only thing I don't like it an auto the price is well under 4k

Thanks

Hi And welcome

As you say, does look like light damage. Are you able to view the car?

If you don't want an auto though hold out anf find a manual, there are plenty around.

So it has a transmission that you don't want and it is a Cat D - why bother even considering it? There are always stacks more Z4s to look at.

Hi and welcome :thumbsup:
There is still a bit of money to put into that Cat D and then there's the latent "when I come to sell it reduction"
You should find a good non damaged example for a similar 'total' price. Good luck

The car has been sold now. For £3500 for a 2007 I figured it was cheap.... Even with the repairs, and all the parts it, would it would come out around 6k

I don't think you can get the facelift model for under 9k but i could be wrong.

A roadster?

You certainly could get a convertible for under 9k.

What sort of spec are you after?

+1 Looking that Zed over I'm with Toe-side - there are always hidden costs.

Take your time and read through the what to look for post when buying.

Prices are strong at the moment so do take your time - end of the season better for buying.

Took me 8 months to find mine at the price point I wanted and it was a BMW Authorised Used car with 1 years warranty so they can be found.
