The red looks super vivid and unnatural to me. Might not be intentional as a lot of mobile phones add post processing on images now by default.

If not photoshopped, like to know what they did to make it so vibrant

Possible bargain of the year?
Well apart from being stored from 2010 - 2016. Not sure if servicing was carried out during this time. The MOTs weren't... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-Z4-M-Cou ... 1438.l2649

If it wasn't MOT'd during storage I'd be amazed if it was serviced - but then if it was stored would that really matter?

I don't think that would put me off, but my issue is I don't have the money! :(

You're probably right, but like you I don't have the money otherwise I'd be all over that at 33,000 miles! 🤗
Let's hope someone on the forum gets lucky! 👍

Looks great value to me, the storage thing wouldn't bother me a bit as long as the rest of the history was okay.

Hmmm - i'm on the fence with this one. Cars don't like being sat around especially for 5-6 years. God knows how much rubber has dried out and gunk accumulated inside, never mind condensation in fluids etc.

The saving grace is that it's been driven for the last 2 years but then I don't know how long it would take for problems to manifest.

I had a similar thing with an Aston Martin, my 19k example was far worse and problematic than my 40k one.

This MR seems like a bargain. 74k miles for £10k. Ruby with champagne leather not a bad combo, although the wheels not to my taste. Or the gear knob. Each to their own I suppose. Says FSH. What am I missing?!

YB07 UOV
MOT history is patchy with some long standing/repeated advisories suggesting no urgency to spend on maintenance. But a good price, I would want to delve in to the service history and give it a close inspection for damage / paint repairs.

Last MOT April 2018 - 2019
Advisory notice item(s)
Offside Front Brake pipe slightly corroded (3.6.B.2c)
Offside Rear Brake pipe slightly corroded (3.6.B.2c)
Exhaust has a minor leak of exhaust gases (7.1.2)
Nearside Rear tyre close to legal limit (2mm)
2003 2.5 SE, low miles, Sterling Grey, 108's & Eagles, no stubby here! Unmolested.
2018 Cooper S Countryman
Fiesta Ecoboost

That looks a bargain if it's straight and has been well serviced...! Ridiculous how cheap these cars are for what they are, a 2012 boggo boxster is still £25k+...

That Roadster looks like a good deal - assuming it all checks out!

Now I wish I hadn't read this thread - I'm wondering if maybe I should try a Roadster! :rofl:

Is it me or is the ///Market going the wrong way :? a 104k & a 111k ZMC both dealers both at £13995 ask price so room to go lower :cry:
Both look well kept & far from ropey with amarone interior in the 104k 8)
