I was actually looking at getting another Smart Roadster but they’re are rare as hens teeth now. Mine was a Brabus Xclusive & an absolute beaut but it’s hard to get a good one now

You could promise to be good. :evil:

Auto isn't everyone's cup of tea though.
Just in the process of getting a few photos, then I'll stick a for sale up.
I'll be looking at a forum price of £3750 I think.

Always happy to help if I can.

If the forum helped you, why not help the forum back. Thats the Z4 way! :thumbsup:

How good are those older auto's?

I've only had the PDK in 718 and of course my G29.

Better than I expected tbh. Wifey gets a sore hip on longer journeys in a manual so she loves it. Bit old school in normal mode but when you podge the sport button they're pretty rapid.

Personally I wouldn’t recommend buying a car blind off ebay, fine if you can view it before bidding.

Yeah- although I guess it’s no different from buying blind from a garage 100’s of miles away🤷‍♀️
You’ve probably got just as much if not more come back

You have some come back from a garage with distance selling rules, none from ebay.

You have the same consumer rights when buying through eBay
