What octane? 🤔

Modifications are a very personal thing, and some add no value to resale and may make a car less desirable to the wider market. What a car is advertised for and what it sells for are two completely different things, and sometimes people just give up with a private sale or trade in; So the car...

Welcome to the forum, Cat C has a massive impact on value, so your asking price is very high and unrealistic. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but most people on this forum will try and be helpful and that’s what I’m doing here. There are a lot of unsold E86’s that have sat around for ages...

I’ve used this service several times and had no issues. The courier takes detailed photo’s of each wheel on collection, before loading (or did with the service I’ve used), so there’s no arguments about the condition they were in when picked up 👍🏻

I think he put some wheels on that were detailed separately- it’s not 100% clear. So it’s been listed at under £15k for what 9/10 months and not sold. Should tell you all you need to know really. The only person who seemingly shifts coupe’s at above ‘market’ prices is the trader Zachary Luke...

Pricing is difficult, and asking prices and sold prices are two different things. The car you mention (link below) has been for sale for 10 months, listed early Nov 2025. I’d be careful if using this as your yardstick. I hope you get a good price...

Is it for sale and if so how much are you hoping for?

Welcome 👍🏻 it’s a straight 6

Or he needs to sell it to someone who will drive it 👍

Ok, so it’s not the chap who definitely viewed it then …which is interesting.

Do you know what the name of the winning bidder was, I was distracted doing something else so missed it. Submitting my ‘agreed value’ form to the insurance company for my own Alpina online (which wasn’t working🤬). So, £29,158 inc fee’s. Might be a bargain (relatively speaking), might be a money...

I think the current highest bid is a trader. It will be interesting to see if a trader buys it, and how it’s advertised when it inevitably returns to the market if that’s the case. Hopefully anyone doing their due diligence in future will find this thread and realise this is a car that’s sat...

I have to admit, I was tempted to bid on this and sell my own Alpina if I was successful afterwards. However, having seen what being based ‘at the seaside’ can do to a car, and the additions to the listing, it’s not for me. Might be a gem, but too much risk when you factor in flights, cost to...

I didn’t think the video of the underneath that’s been added is exactly a glowing recommendation either. It’s a bit too fast in places, so needs to be paused, but doesn’t look like a carcoon stored, only for wet once, 7500 miles car to me.

I also spotted this… which makes me doubt it’s been sat in a carcoon. Looks like someone’s ‘missed a bit’ in a potential detail;
