Confused.com's valuation for my car (2008, 69k) just jumped three grand in the past month, to £19.1k private and £17.6k trade-in.

It was always about £3k under the autotrader valuation, so I wonder whether this is some kind of market analyst's adjustment or whether there has actually been some movement in values? Certainly doesn't feel that way at the moment and it's the wrong time of year for it. :?

Seems the used car market in general is seeing strong residuals for prestige cars .
I threw the details of our C Class estate into WBAC last week & nearly slid off the sofa :P their offer price was £50 less than i paid 3 years ago & adding 17k to the clock .

Just checked mine again and the valuation has jumped up just over £2k since I last did it in June.

Likely the road tax hike in March 2017 has something to do with it - there aren’t many of our C300h hybrid estates on zero road tax for sale, only 3 on eBay with shed loads of miles

:roll: 2006 Z4M convertible with 77k just sold on ebay for £10,600. I was watching it with a view of having a cheeky bid but got roped into helping with preparing dinner

I got my '07 Z4MR for £10,700 from a local dealer. I did get a pretty good P/X on the JCW Mini towards it.

That's such a fine car, total bargain for someone wishing to take the car down that kind of road.
I'm about to put Intrax 1k2 on my car and the bill will be about 4.5k (albeit slightly different spec).
Those tillets, the Apex’s, the ap's, recent engine rebuild, not much short of caging it could make it any more hardcore yet I bet it's a joy to drive on the road as is.

What sort of mileage and service history?

It's got a full service history, mix of BMW and a BMW specialist. It had 96,000 on the clock and is in very, very good condition inside and out. I was also given a warranty with the car. It's got a nice folder filled with all of it's receipts since new. It's last service was done by the dealers garage. It seems to have the uprated sound system (going by the guides on here).

When I get the car serviced etc, Mark Purcell will be the BMW specialist who will do all the work, as he looked after my Poppa's E46 M3 Convertible. He's fairly well known and respected around the Oxford area for BMW's

My old man use to be a car valeter/detailer for 20 years and he gave the car a really good going over last weekend. Bar a few tiny chips, the paint is in very good condition and bar the drivers side seat bolster, the inertia is unmarked or even that worn. Everything in the car works fine and from what I understand, the Sat Nav seems to have been updated as I have the 3D perspective when I put the Nav on. The Nav's disc drive is a black coloured DVD drive.

Be nice if the advertiser knew the colour of the car. Sounds like a techno colour dream car from the description 😂
