Z4 E85 2003 3.0i - 57K miles - £4,750

Post by wesRoblett » Fri Aug 23, 2019 1:30 pm

Hello,

I'm selling my Z4 as I don't get enough use out of it any more, I have a young daughter and two seats is not enough any more. I've owned it since 2015 and had great pleasure of using it as a weekend driver.

Located in Hoddesdon, Herts.

Currently on a private plate (original plate LS53 GFE)
57K miles.
Great Condition.
Recent MOT (due next 25/05/2020),
replaced ECU with brand new unit just over 2 years ago.
new front brakes,
new hood motor,
recently re-gassed air-conditioning unit.
Part Service History. (Posted photos below)
5 owners.
Smoke and Pet free. Need to view this car to appreciate it fully.

£4,750 - open to reasonable offers

Thanks,

Wes

Looks like a nice low mileage car. A few more details, service history, how many owners, list of extras and where you are located will help your sale. :thumbsup:

As suggested above, people will want to read about the service history and spec of the car. I find it's better to give potential buyers all the info they need in the advert rather than leaving them to make the effort to ask questions.

Ok that’s fair enough.

Some more info:

Original plate is LS53 GFE

Attaching photos of paperwork etc:

There are MOT certificates, evidence of replacement parts (roof motor, brand new ECU fitted)

(removed images for privacy purposes, let me know if you want to view)

Morning,

Not had much interest as yet. Any pointers as to why? I’ve added all the documentation I have to add now.

As I said, I will consider reasonable offers.

Thanks.

Wes

Looks like a nice car - at that age, price and mileage you'll need to be a bit patient to find a buyer. It's also the back end of the summer too.

Some of the mods won't be to everyone's taste, like the wheels, rear lights, 3rd brake light, side repeaters, painted engine bay parts, carbon fibre interior bits and after market stereo (though equally some of these may attract others, like me :D).

You're also missing some of the juicier options like heated seats (not sure if yours are manual or electric - assume manual), Xenons, nav, steering wheel controls, rubbish cup holders etc.

Good luck with the sale - you might want to think about blanking some of the service history info in your pics too as it is possible to be a bit mischievous with some of the data there, given an appropriate idiot.

Have you been advertising it elsewhere? as you’ve only had it up here a short time, so seems early days to be concerned about interest levels.

Having said that, the service history looks to be fairly limited from the pics you’ve posted? I think this will hold you back a bit with buyers from the forum, despite the low mileage, as most seem to be ‘clued up’ for want of a better expression.

Also, a lot of the posters on here already own Z4’s, sorry to state the obvious, so it’s not necessarily the best place to try and sell. I’ve always had good success with a Classiifed add on EBay, yes you can get a lot of muppets and stupid offers, but less people drawn to autotrader these days so if you’re thick skinned EBay can be a very good place to advertise.

Do you have the original wheels? Current once will appeal to some, but not others
