Difficult sell to an enthusiast s forum
As a 18i BMWs marketing does it no favours irrespective of the truth on packaging and condition

I’m sure if you can get someone through the door it will sell

Crowded market with pricing all over the place

Another bump.
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

I am really surprised this hasn't sold. Have you tried advertising it on AT? I know its around £70 but I believe the ad stays up until the car is sold and the audience is widespread including dealers.
Current:
718 Cayman GTS 4.0 (PDK)

I am surprised I haven't even had a message about it TBH. Seems (from what I've seen on the forum) everybody looking wants cheap E85s. Cost of living crisis, maybe? Wouldn't surprise me.

AT is the next step, but because we really don't want to let it go, I've been a little 'lax'! :)

AT is the next step, but because we really don't want to let it go, I've been a little 'lax'! I am not going to sell this car for peanuts, it is just too good to do that. If necessary we will keep it and sell another car (the Mazda). We shall see! :)
Yes it's a shame, looks like a really nice car but as you say cheap E85s such as 2.0 and 2.2 seem to move very quickly on AT.
Now, Sterling grey Z4 2.2 with cup holders, stubby aerial and sport seats. Roadsters ‘cause they’re great with the roof down.
Ford Anglia, Red Sprite, a few MG midgets, MGB Roadster and yellow Ford Capri, all gone many years now.

I cant believe this has had no interest, a well specced mapped 18i, with low mileage and a well know member

Maybe that's the trouble, he's a well known member :poke: :evil: :rofl: :thumbsup:

It has been said; yes! :D

I'm not included in the sale, though, so all good! :thumbsup:

Surprised as your misses offered me the car and £50k to take you away, I asked if that was a monthly payment

I can’t believe this car hasn’t sold. It looks to be immaculate and seeing the other cars Andy has sold on here I’m sure it will be. All the benefits of an E89 without the expensive running costs that some of the models incur.

If I was in the market for an E89 2.0i I would buy this car as I know the owner from this forum and despite all the jokes I know he is well respected by other members. So the remap wouldn't put me off but the insurance problems might but then how much difference would the cost be to an E89 28i? :thumbsup: I would find out before purchase.

The insurance premium hike for us with the remap was a colossal £0.00. Not kidding, it was 'no charge' with LV, not even the standard 'admin fee'.

That is not the same for everyone admittedly, but insurance cost should not be a reason for dismissing remapped cars IMO. Other reasons I get! :)

Madness this hasn't sold. I felt it was a really good buy when it was initially put up for £12,500. Now it's at £10,900 it's an absolute steal.
