I agree, why not, some cat D cars are a cracking deal (no pun intended) as long as you know what you are getting and the price is good

Yes maybe on a strangers car floating around on ebay but a known forum car :? its not like the car is up for similar money to a non cat car
Anyone looking to buy & own for a long period this makes perfect sense , the only issue i see is the potential lengthy time to sell on down the line

The problem isn’t buying for me. It is more the selling.

Each to their own though.

Yes I agree, but if you are looking at keeping it for quite a while and know its history, not a big issue, yes you will have to make it attractive price wise when you sell it, but that's offset by buying it at a reduced rate,

It’s not just price which is an issue. I find that you’re also limited on who you can sell your car to.

For example some BMW main dealers would refuse to take your Cat D motor as a deposit on a part-exchange...

For me it’s just a headache and I would rather avoid.

Having said that OP - GLWS :thumbsup:

Iam a forum member, been here few years and did buy it as a cat D, it wasn't my first ZED so kind of knew what I was getting myself into.
To be honest I didnt regret it one bit and never gave me the slightest hassle.
It is true that they are a bit slow to sell but I had it for 2 years and I am in no hurry for it to go.
As mentioned above, if you are planning to keep it for few years then you can ceratainly have a car that I can confidently say it is in a much better shape than many non-catD Z4s out there (seen that when I was buying) and for much less.

I never get cars on finance and when I was looking for a Z4 I couldnt really afford a 35i.But again each to their own !

The car has now been sold to a happy new owner !!

As I have mentioned in the initial post that the first to see it will buy it and indeed he did buy t on the spot .... I am sure he will not be disappointed especially for the money he paid.

He basically wanted to take it there and then so now I am struggling without a car, I am now looking a cheap and cheerful run about if anyone has something around the Berkshire region !!
