E85 3.0si Auto Roadster price dropped excellent example.

Imho if you want to sell this then:
1) halve the words in your ad. Nobody can read all that and most of it puts me off
2) take it out and take a few nice photos in the countryside. Roof up, down, etc. Doesn’t sell a car inside your garage
3) delete this thread and start again without all the chat in it

Update, had the roof motor refurbed and relocated today by Mike at the Zed Shed. Excellent work, and now is free from water!

£6k for a facelift sub 100k german quality roadster with 262bhp is a sad reflection of the current market :(
That would be buying you trouble in any other equivalent machine .
Have you had any interest at all ?

Very little interest in all honesty, I’ve sorted my new car today at bmw, so I’m im nearly out of options but to trade it in. Very sad indeed. I’m very suprised I thought at £6k I’d have it snapped up in hours!

What's the auto box like with the paddles? Was looking for a 3.0si but had settled on a manual, had a DCT in my old 35is just wondering how quickly it changes?

I really like the auto, can’t say I ever really used the paddles to be honest. One reason I will never buy another manual car!

Ive had Si in manual & auto , the autos are very quick off the mark & as you would expect super easy to drive in town .
Guess its down to if you really "have" to be involved then manual is the way , don't write a auto off till you try one though :wink: they will most likely surprise you

I used to be a manual all the way guy, then bought the auto and never will I go back to manual! Super easy to drive, and smooth driving!

Hi,

I am possibly interested in the car but am a new user so can't PM.

Are you able to send me a PM so I can contact you directly with some questions about the car please?

Thanks

Rob
