Selling Advice Please

Post by Ommadawn » Sun May 09, 2021 1:53 pm

Hi All

I am selling a Z4 2.0 SE 2005 Maldives Blue with 104K on the clock.
Its listed here on ebay and does have some work needed ,.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/324571143729
Only big problem is since I took it off sorn the roof only unlocks and moves part way.
Replaced the hydraulic pump only 4 years ago so would be surprised if its that again but who knows.
I wonder if I should relist as a project car, spares etc as might attract a buyer who is looking for a cheap Z4 to do up.

Anyone got any views what they would do if me.
Maybe its overpriced for the work required or better off running as an auction with low start price.
Appreciate any help with this one.
Thanks

With the roof issue and the other obvious cosmetic work, I’d suggest the auction route with no or low reserve. Of course the roof could be an easy fix, which would make the car a more attractive proposition.

Good luck with the sale.

There's a fella in Bristol who fixes roof issues at very reasonable rates I believe. Not sure of he is a member here bit if you join Z4 Owners UK on FB you'll find him. Probably worth paying for it to be fixed, it might be a really cheap fix....Edit, the guy's name is Alan, I believe he is in this forum
