Thoughts on price for this eBay find?

Post by JackHunter » Mon Dec 17, 2018 12:51 am

Hi All,

New to the forum but have been looking around for a 6 cylinder Z4 for a while. Have come across this and I personally think it looks great and has such low mileage. But is it still priced highly considering it's a 2003 model?

I hope to get a chance to view it this week but would love to get some quick expert opinions from just the ad.

Thanks all.

Does seem top money but the low mileage will keep the price high. Need to establish some details in regards the service and MOT history. For a car that's 15 years old you want to find out how many oil changes it has had.
Spec doesn't sound bad to me, condition wise it looks good albeit the seller has been honest and identified two points that would help you haggle the price.
I suppose as ever you need to see it in the flesh and discover/prove as much as you can.

Looks nice after the detail just like anything would but it’s missing the one option that I consider essential in a roadster and thats the heated msport seats.

You would think he would have had a £100 pdr done in the rear wing considering he spend £700 on a detail?

Does look nice condition otherwise but why no mention of service history. At such a low mileage it could have been stood for years with a sump full of sludge for oil so it’s an important point.

So after sending a message asking about service history, I got very short answers of 'Yes, it has' and I'd has only done 24k though'...

MOT history I found on DVLA shows that it's genuine miles and did about 5k between 2011 and 2015

Not sure I will travel 3 hours to see it from Surrey.

Waste of time driving three hours to see it imo, the mismatched headlights would do my head in! Keep an eye on the classifieds on here for bargains, heated msport seats is the only option I'd class as a must in a roadster :thumbsup:
