Well this one looks a steal :? Throw £7500 under the guys nose & you may well have yourself a bargain 89 that should zero fall over the next couple of years

Its a 80k 59 plate great colour combo & the necessary heated sport seats up for £8k :o

Interesting to see what happens with e89 prices.

I'm in a dilemma at the mo as to whether I keep mine or sell and get an older (05/06) boxster. Or maybe put a litlte towards an M roadster?

If prices are dropping, it might not be wise at the mo. Maybe they'll stabilise when/if they stop production.

That looks like a bargain - I paid more than that for my last E86 in May on similar miles (but I know which I prefer)!

I think they have already stopped E89 production - I'm sure someone on here said BMW stopped taking orders in August.

Cheers guys. Maybe prices will stabilise a little then.

Hummm, do I keep the zed or go for the porker?

So tempting to go for a Porker isn't it, big thrills for a low ish price. However the bills if they go wrong are truly horrendous. I had an 80k mile 04 3.2s for 6 months, got rid as the potential costs made my eyes water. Bloody awesome car though, I didn't mind the crap interior, runs rings round a Zed, and easier to live with than an M. It's a gamble definitely, and one that will bite you hard if you lose.

That's really interesting, as that's what I was thinking porker wise but with less miles. What are the inherent problems?

Hi, they seem to suffer from oval/scored bores causing oil burning & power loss-that's on top of the gearbox bearing which seems to fail randomly :thumbsdown:
I was considering a Cayman until I started to read of £10k engine rebuilds hitting owners-it doesn't seem rare either :thumbsdown:
