It’s clearly a very nice well cared for example but it’s a 53 plate auto, cream interior with non M sport seats or steering wheel controls which imho goes against it as most on here for example want a manual with the trimmings.

You barsteward John, you know I have a 53 plate with cream seats and an auto. Your just jealous :poke: :wink:

Wow!, that created a discussion, thank you one and all, I haven’t taken umbrage at all.
Warranties from garages are not necessarily worth anything but I take the point about buying from a garage too. However, there are some similar cars to mine out there at far higher prices., that’s one reason I found it difficult to put a value on mine when posting.

So sages, what is a reasonable price?, I don’t have to agree with what you say, but obviously I would like genuine interest.

Your go.

You're brave, thats thrown the cat among the pigeons :D

£5,995 reasonable offers may get you some more interest. All depends how quick you want to sell. Someone who wants an original unmolested Merlot E85 with low low miles will pay a premium, however you may have to wait a while.

Hi, I haven’t posted a wanted add, but I am on the lookout for clean, original Z4.

I might be winning the war with my Mrs over a Coupe though, which I think could actually be an investment long term... still fighting that one.

Ideally I’d prefer a manual, but would consider an auto.

I’d mirror what the others have said though, I’ve been scouring classifieds in all the usual places for a week or so now and while your’s looks very nice... your asking price is way higher than similar private sale cars.

Thanks both, I will be making significant reduction in asking price when I work out how to alter original post.

What’s the annual road tax on this please?

What with it being an Auto?

My other half really likes the way it looks, so we’re considering a long trip to view.... but we’d need to talk ‘ballpark’ price first as it’s too rich for me currently even at your reduced price.

Many thanks.

I will be, but John chose to sell it to the dealer.

Never mind, looking for a Coupe now as the Mrs has given in after seeing how gorgeous they are :D
