Thanks!Kern47 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 23, 2019 3:30 pm I also took a punt on a Cat D M with limited service history...
Paid off for me, looks good from the outside and mechanically nothing to report in the first year and a half of ownership. Ever since being duped into unknowingly buying a Cat D car years ago, and being smitten with the condition and the price I paid, with no issues or signs of damage, I've always considered Cat D's to be potentially great bargains.
Do you know the previous owner got hold of the past history? And what form does it come in?

Thanks
yes, I've had some fantastic road trips with my zeds over the years, seen some beautiful places and driven some of the best roads. Z4m roadster is perfect for them, roof down, glorious sunshine, singing exhaust. Awesome 
Yes Jembo, great suggestion but the biggest obstacle would be telling my wife I’m off to the UK to buy a car !! No way would she be staying at home. In practical terms the car becomes a $34000 car (approx 17000 pounds) so in reality I’m probably better being patient and seeing if one turns up here. There are 2 ZM coupes for sale at moment, $50000 and $59000 asking. They are struggling to sell at these prices though.Jembo wrote: ↑Tue Apr 23, 2019 9:03 amIf ur that interested could always get a cheap eco flight via Sing, think they can be had for between £500-700 notes...
Time it for a weekend when there’s a local hoon & ride shotgun...
Pay in cash & drive away to the docks... or have the shells done then shipped... or just have a short break & look at all the others 4sale... then pick one of those.
Considering they’re all now +10 year old cars & not out of a showroom, anyone you’ll buy will need money
somewhere thrown at it... & at £10k others you’ll be viewing at that price point will be ropey, least this has had some TLC
Believe it’s a forum tradition, part of our folk law to help fellow members spend money, the more the better.Haggisman wrote: ↑Tue Apr 23, 2019 10:52 pm Yes Jembo, great suggestion but the biggest obstacle would be telling my wife I’m off to the UK to buy a car !!

Thanks for the response, great forum this.
Haha - I’d love to rise to the challenge but as I’m retired and my wife is still working It may mean a one way ticket and having to sleep in the car. I did the seek forgiveness trick when I bought my current Z4 but don’t think I could risk this one. She also seems to think that what I spend she needs to match which doesn’t help.Jembo wrote: ↑Wed Apr 24, 2019 6:33 amBelieve it’s a forum tradition, part of our folk law to help fellow members spend money, the more the better.Haggisman wrote: ↑Tue Apr 23, 2019 10:52 pm Yes Jembo, great suggestion but the biggest obstacle would be telling my wife I’m off to the UK to buy a car !!

Given I bought mine covertly without telling the Mrs - forgiveness is far easier to obtain than permission - all I can say is I dare you to do better
You’d certainly go down in our Z history & be a great thread to follow...
If you look carefully, I only had 13 miles of range left so it was actually quite a tense moment - being so remote in the Swiss Alps! Haha
