How the hell does a Z4 do an average of 17,800 miles a year? I'm pretty sure it ain't a taxi! :o
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

Bloody easy - business owner buying one and driving 30k miles a year for 3 or 4 years will soon rack up the miles

Break the bank on repairs for sure - she would have to wait for a new bathroom as the car needs repairing for 26th week in a row :|

      I’d say it’s at a realistic market price now and is pretty much spot on for that car IMO.

      I think the higher/inflated prices were people jumping on the back of the Sytner valuation policy but these overpriced cars weren’t, and still aren’t, selling whereas this is now bang on the money and should sell pretty quickly now.

      I saw a private sale 2010 @ £19k last night. That is a £15-£15.75k car all day long. It’ll remain for sale until the price comes down towards £16k.

        If that's the grey one with red interior Andy, that's the one that was advertised here a couple of weeks ago at 16k and sold within 48 hours or so - they chap who bought it then posted on Facebook that he wasn't sure it was the car for him, which was odd - possibily a pre-cursor to then flipping it for several thousand quid more.

        Could be a different car of course as the flipped 19k one disappeared from FB marketplace the next day for some reason.

        Tim, you’re 100% correct, I never paid much attention once I’d seen the price :oops:

        Even though it’s much cleaner and better presented than the original ad, it’s still grossly overpriced :thumbsup:

          Summer is supposedly here and no dealer will want to be stuck with a convertible over winter. The window of opportunity is narrowing.

          It is, but it’s now at the price it should’ve been in the 1st instance. I’d expect it to move quite quickly now :thumbsup:

            Agreed, there are quite a few out there at stupid prices right now, that 20i VO in Scotland for £23k is another which needs to drop £5 or £6k to get where it needs to be :|
