Last December, same car except manual and on 85000 miles. Price then was £9500
Maybe the latest one comes with a gold bar in the glove box :lol:

    Depending on when it's registered (pre/post July 2008) the 3.0si is btween €1200 - €1494 per annum in Ireland, the M is between €1809 - €2350 :o

    A huge difference between them, although neither are particularly palatable tbh.

    The 3.0 gets cheaper post July 2008, the M get's significantly dearer.

    I remember Attilio telling me that on the NC500, blew my fkin mind what an absolutely obscene tax :sick2: :sick2:
    I assume its based on the same criteria as here aka the CO2 emissions, suppose the S2000 would be a similar cost as well, the post 2006 ones are £585 here

    Calps,

    I was wincing a bit at the first tax on the M40i but subsequent years are ok for the type of car but I’d be seriously considering my options at those Irish prices :cry:

      Pre July 2008 is based on engine size, post July 2008 is emissions based.

      The price we pay for these nice things eh!? Don't even get me started on insurance :headbang:

      Thanks for that, so correct me if I'm wrong but a fire breathing RX7 (1.3cc) would be 385?! :rofl:
      The S2000 would "only" be 710 as well

        If memory serves correct, we in the banana republic treat the RX7 as a 1.7l. (nope, I've no iea why either). Some have been taxed as 1.3l after some protracted discussions with revenue, and I've also heard of a few being treated as a 2.6l!

        The S2000, yeah you're probably grand there though, so come on over!

        1.7 makes absolutely no sense :rofl:
        They are technically 2.6l engines because each rotor has a 1.3l capacity, 2 rotors in a standard 13b makes your 2.6

        JayEmm giving kudos to the Z4C as a better package than a lot of cars including his Lambo and the Z4MC.

        I like him and it's worth a watch; only went up a few days ago.

        Can't but help values I think :thumbsup:

        Nah, twin 650cc = 1.3l altogether.

        Hey

        I’m a new member and potential new Z4 owner. I wanted to ask the forum’s opinion on a car I’m viewing tomorrow.

        https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-detail ... 5122539215

        It’s “overpriced” but has a brand new steering column (which I understand can run up a couple £k bill), does seem to be in lovely condition (I’ve been sent a walkaround video), and has all the other trimmings you’d expect from a decent second hand car.

        So yeah, would be interested in any opinions on this car.

        I did check back a few pages and couldn’t find anything on this advert so apologies if I missed some earlier discussion.

        Cheers

        It doesn’t really matter whether it’s had a new steering column or not, it’s still overpriced. But not by much. Could be a good buy with a bit of negotiation.
