Jamesy's Murdered Z4 E85 - MAY BE SELLING...

Post by brillomaster » Fri Mar 05, 2021 11:43 am

seems a shame to get rid of a car you've put so much time and effort into making the way you want it.

personally, if i was in your situation, i'd buy a £1000 snotter for baby carrying duties, and then keep the zed as a summer weekend car. Assuming you have room for multiple cars. a limited mileage policy on the z4 can't be that much, and you can sorn it over winter to save even more money.

    Firstly congratulations , secondly just as well you never bought that hardtop :poke:

    Yes priorities definitely change but IMO if you can keep it even on a limited use/sort/summer/weekend basis I’d do it. Having been in your situation, daughter was 21 last week, speaking through experience if you give your toy up it’s very difficult to get one back. The OH will definitely have a list of priorities that trump the purchase of a replacement whereas if you’ve been able to hang onto it that’s a completely different scenario as it’s already there :thumbsup:

      Thanks Andy, Yes it is! haha!

      Unfortunately i don't have any where to store it as its sitting outside my sisters house and rarely gets used as weather is always up and down and during the winter months the cars just pointless IMO. The car costs me quite a bit to run monthly and for the odd occation where it is used doesn't really warrant hanging onto it neither can i keep it on the driveway at my sisters as eventually she will be needing the space back for her own car.

      In terms of toys the replacement would be a family car but something sporty you know?

      I personally think I've ticked the box on this occasion and therefore she needs to go to another good home and then to be enjoyed further as she's done me well for the time I've had it!

      If it’s not practical, as the reasons you’ve listed point out, then yes it’s time for you to move it on, much as I’ve pit my point over there’s no point in it sitting there not getting used :thumbsup:

      Only bit of selling advice I’ll is get rid of that :censored: misspelled graphic as you’ll alienate all us old fecker as we can’t pronounce it :rofl: :poke:

      Good luck with the search for the sporty family wagon, fatherhood is fantastic :thumbsup:

        Congrats on the news, surprising as it may have been having kids is great, best thing I ever did.

        As for the car, might be worth giving a bit of detail, miles, service history, expected price bracket etc.

        No doubt its a stunning car, but people will be interested in some of the detail behind the cracking aesthetics

        Congrats! Shame about moving it on, things people seem to forget is that its just a bit of metal and lifes for new adventures rather than hanging on for the sake! Life short and should try and experience as many things as possible!

        Sure your next motor will be just as epic :thumbsup: of corse your son/daughter will give you and your partner a lifetime of memories and experiences far outweighing a car :thumbsup:
