Yeah, love Amarone. In pictures it does seem to vary from more brownish to more redish. That one looks more brown to me. Very nice.

Retro heated seats a massive plus over no heated so that leaves a well specced 55k MR that looks pristine for £14k start price :? & you are prepared to miss it because it has cheapo rubber :roll:
These cars are well over 10 years old , often had many many owners , to find the decent ones you have to dig deep & be prepared to weigh up the positives V negatives .
A £500 spend on tyres wouldn't kill it for me , some need that on paintwork alone :cry:

You are right in everything you say. However, as per my other post Interlagos is not for me. The seller was genuine and responded to all questions.

Think I agree, that’s the nicest interior I’ve seen on a Z4.

Anybody having any issues in the past couple of months using Autotrader valuations? I usually check mine every month, but recently I’m getting a...
Sorry, we can't value this car

If it's an unusual model, was registered recently or has a personalised number plate, we might not have enough data to identify it accurately.

We also cannot value vehicles that are:
More than 15 years old
Imported or left-hand drive
Not cars (e.g. vans or trucks)
What’s odd is that I got the above message, then the next time I checked it was fine. Subsequent to that it’s never worked. :-?

Still working for me. I did have one site that wouldn’t value the car when it was SORN though.
