I am thinking about it for certain, got a few Indies close to me as well who could probably sort most of it outArgyll Andy wrote: ↑Mon Jul 05, 2021 4:39 pmLooks like easy money, as I said if closer to me I’d be on it and purely for fixing and resale and a bit of cash in my pocketOle gits rule wrote: ↑Mon Jul 05, 2021 4:33 pm

The seller says he bought it 8 months ago from his friend who passed away, and has kept it in a garage since then. That does stack up with the mot history.
I was seriously tempted for a minute and at around £5k I probably would, but if it goes for £6750 then it's not so much of a bargain (after travelling and minimum repair costs - the drivers side front grill looks broken and potentially a largish scratch on the front panel) that it would be worth the time and effort. There are a few similar on Autotrader for £8.5-9.5k so I'd be cautious and estimate getting £8k for it if selling on, which brings the profit down into the hundreds.

Its jumped to £5,500 now - if it stays around there then yes it is probably ok and allow £1k for repair then sell at £8.5k - otherwise its not that good a dealtiglon wrote: ↑Mon Jul 05, 2021 4:58 pm The seller says he bought it 8 months ago from his friend who passed away, and has kept it in a garage since then.

100% correct, it only takes one but I’d be reasonably comfortable that this is a battery and software issue form what’s been said. That and there’s a fair margin left in it for further repairsZed Baron wrote: ↑Mon Jul 05, 2021 4:50 pmSometimes.... been lucky a few times, but it only takes oneArgyll Andy wrote: ↑Mon Jul 05, 2021 4:39 pm Looks like easy money, as I said if closer to me I’d be on it and purely for fixing and resale and a bit of cash in my pocket

I think it is a battery issue - done no mileage in 3 years and probably no trickle charger attached to itArgyll Andy wrote: ↑Mon Jul 05, 2021 5:08 pm100% correct, it only takes one but I’d be reasonably comfortable that this is a battery and software issue form what’s been said.

I also have a bathroom to do, then a kitchen and then an annex to sort as well, that's why I employ builders as my DIY skills are crap plus time is limited
I could sort out a car - fit a battery and get the software downloaded and hopefully all done then its a service and polish - sell

Evening... on the road to recovery and decided to venture to Silverstone Classic this weekend. Never been but as every car club should be catered for I thought there would be many E89 Z4‘s on display, I was wrong, 3 cars out of thousands of others, 2 were very nice indeed though. Then I thought I better start looking again.... How is the E89 market looking? Will my 10k still pick up a lovely example?

Hi Ash, glad your recovering.
10k may still be a stretch but they are out there for certain - https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-detail ... 500&page=6

Might have to up the funds I feel...
Sorry to hear of your roof issues I’ve just read about, what warranty did you have that so thankfully stepped in if you do not mind me asking? A warranty sounds very appealing now.
