That would have been £5000 more this time last year..

The market is certainly moving.

Very hard to believe it's clean. Looks like the car of someone that would know they were conceding at least £5k. You could probably even get £17k trade if you worked a few dealers!

I spoke with the garage who have been looking after the car and that added confidence.
Just awaiting the call to come and view..

Its got everything going for it...

Great colour combo,great spec and miles,excellent quality wheels with quality rubber.

On the face of it brilliant paint and trim.Cant believe people are saying possible Cat D or "something wrong with it"..

At least when buying from a dealer you have comeback and warranty...

Surprised the dealer hasn’t had a few phone calls from existing MC owners asking him what the f**k he’s playing at

Does seem too good price to turn down.

Yes, that is true. Does potentially make it worth a punt.

Yep I phoned there's a long line apparently...

I see it as a free pair of Arc 8's and a strut brace plus £500 for a weeks work personally :)

:) I see it as a first step into Z4M ownership from my old and trusted 3.0si Coupe.

All dependent on paperwork, condition and drive checking out (if I’m lucky enough to get the opportunity given the interest).
