Bumped again

I don't think for a minute the autobox is hampering your sale prospects , ive had 3 auto Si E86s & 1 manual , never experienced a problem with interest / demand for any of them & the car itself has decent spec , attractive low mlles & looks well so what's left ?
Jmo but your location will not be helping ( i would never even enquire over any car within central London )
Secondly the pics show a street living car again not something i would follow up on
Admittedly you can't do anything about your location but id have a try with some better pics at somewhere more scenic
Lastly price I'm not saying the car isn't worth near what you're asking but you have to get someone to it so if you have a last figure in mind ( which i assume you have ) then lower your ask to within £250 of it & once someone has their feet in front of it hopefully the car sells itself .
Glws , i'm happy to alter or delete any or all of above from thread if you wish

Jw but why wouldn’t you consider a car in central London Mr Wilks?

Simply the hassle of getting in & out to view / purchase .
The recent 35is i bought was Reading , 5 hrs train from Lancashire & 5 hrs drive home no problem with that but i wouldn't have been interested if the journey involved London / tube i have recurring misanthropy central London is just a no-no on any scale , id rather get a car from the Orkneys

Ahh, I thought it was more to do with the notion that a central London motor is more likely to have done short journeys

But good points raised, take some photos in Richmond Park or something OP, it will help your ad.

This car is in Ealing, not within the congestion charge, its parked in a residents only side street, I am 11 miles from central London. I have done 3600 miles in the year I have owned it, not local short journeys as one of the advantages of living in the big smoke is Ocado, I can photograph it outside a Stately home if it will sell it, but prefer to be honest, at this rate I will keep it. I understand Mr Wilks input, and asked him on the spec for wheels and tyres, but I don't live in Central London but "The Queen the Suburbs". It does not have parking dings or bumper scrapes, looking at the number of non sold cars on this forum could it possibly be the Brexit uncertainty of selling anything??

London is London if you don't live in it or know it , i may well be 1 in 100 in avoiding any cars within the M25 but that's how it is for me .
To get to virtually anywhere within the circular is either a hassle ridden car journey or a train involving the tube at which point i would be looking for a different vehicle you were asking for input on your car/ad getting 600 views yet no interest i was offering a possible reason .
Its a similar situation with vehicles in Scotland for guys down south , travelling 400/500 miles for a car i suspect a majority would look elsewhere

There's nothing wrong with your car as it looks great. Perfect colour combo and miles but as has been said get some better pics up, perhaps where there's some greenery in the pic and maybe get the price just into 4 figures.

Ok will do a new advert next week, and also put it on Ebay

[Machpb]

Not sure if you've tried listing the car on other sites as of yet but having recently sold my Z4 Coupe, I found eBay the best bet compared to the likes of Pistonheads and Auto Trader. Within two days of listing my old car on eBay, I had a viewing lined up and deal done.

[Bluecat]

Not tried eBay before to sell a car, it was on Pistonheads though,

Price seems alright given the mileage. I wouldn't be looking at an auto but people will repeatedly tell you that it fits the charachter of the car well, so hopefully not an issue.

I think that, given you can acquire an - admittedly ratty - Z4C for the 5-6k mark at the minute, you're going to need to be patient and stick to your guns in order to get the money you want from it. I don't think it's unfeasible though if you're patient enough.

It being in London wouldn't bother me at all. It living on a street in London, perhaps a little more so as I'd just be expecting hidden car parking dings and knocks and whatever.

new photos and now under the magic 10k
