I should have added, I really don’t wish to appear rude but this is a lazy get-rid price.

It’s had nearly £5k spent on it in my time, about 3 years & I can't be bothered to take walk around videos or answering questions that are already answered in the advert - it'll probably go to go to someone that can pop over for a viewing and realise what an idiot I am and bite my arm off. That’s the kind of easy sale I’m after please.

I really don’t want to appear rude. I just want the car gone with minimal fuss and asap to keep the missus from selling her Z, hence price.

I'm also gutted, and have lost an absolute fortune, but I love the missus more than the car..

....just.

Thanks

That is correct - as far as I know the only options that aren’t ticked are M sport seats, MFSW and fancier trim. I think it has literally everything else!

And despite my grumpiness above, I am happy to talk and answer any questions over the phone/in person/any inspection etc. Not a fan of messaging.

Thanks

I don't think that's rude - in fact I think it's good when people are honest about their expectations. A buyer can then decide whether they want to engage or not.

On the face of it (newbie, coupe man not E85) you are offering an incredibly well maintained car with low(ish) mileage, and you've made the price clear - if people think the price is alright for a very nice example, as you say, they can turn up, look, and hand over the cash (assuming you are telling the truth, and I am sure you are and can prove it). If I live up north and was after a Z4 I'd not be writing this post, I'd be PMing you and asking you to call my mobile ASAP!

One more thing... you may not have lost a fortune. You might find that your spending means an easy sale at asking, whereas if you'd let the car deteriorate you might be dealing with loads of bargain hunters who are only looking because the asking price is £2.5k and they want a chunk off. I have recently bought my Z4, we'll see how good a buy it was over the coming months and years... but the guy was asking, and I paid, a low price compared to a lot of asking prices because it was the complete opposite of your car... a few essentials had been done, but others needed doing, and other cosmetic or less serious things also needed (and need) doing. Z4s are lovely cars, but most people aren't complete idiots - if you've not spent the money people notice and want a load off for costs, time and hassle.
