2004 3.0SE Sterling Grey 29k miles( For sale again )

Senior member
Been thinking about selling for a while - had the car for just over a year and covered about 500 miles - stays under cover in the garage most of the time so deserves to go to someone who wants to use it more :D Had previously sold it locally but buyer couldn't come up with the cash :( Have left it for a while while thinking things through and concluded that I would put it up for sale again - a local sports and prestige cars dealer has offered to sell it on commission - they are a reputable garage who only sell high end sports cars between £10k and £100k - wouldn't normally consider a ten year old car but was happy to do so when he saw mine because of the low mileage condition and provenance - he has suggested a screen price of £8995 ( which he says is achievable ) . Commission including a warranty is £1200 . I have apply to retain my number plate which will take 10 days or so . If anyone on the forum is still interested for my original asking price of £7500 PM me before I go for a commission sale . It's Mot'd till Feb 2015 and just taxed for 12 months.

car is totally unmodded original
All original paint with no marks , dings , dents , scuffs etc . new red 3rd brake light fitted ( photo taken before it was replaced for those with eagle eyes )
newly refurbed 108's with new front Bridgestone RFT's and matching hardly used rears
M seats virtually as new
Sat Nav
Bluetooth
FBMW service history including 2 yearly brake fluid changes / insp 1 - next service due Dec ( oil service -time banded not mileage )
One previous owner who kept it garaged as I do.
Comprehensive file with all old mot's , receipts ( including purchase receipt ) etc
2 keys plus the plastic one
MOT end Feb 2015
Taxed May 2014

Price £7500 - As regulars know I live on the Isle of Wight - so am happy to email further photos as required should anyone want to travel over here to view - if you're a serious
buyer looking for a genuine car in outstanding condition that needs nothing doing to it then you won't be disappointed - price does not include private plate. I don't mean to offend anyone but the car is exceptional and ,in my view , worth the asking price - I say this to avoid the usual responses by some who go on about how you can buy a 2004 model for £6k - ( but with dubious history and 3 times the mileage etc )

Thanks for comments. Where are you staying down here ? We live in a village about 4 miles out of Cowes. The Island is a lovely place to live - my wife and I were born here but the job took us away for a few years - we've lived in Kent , Warwickshire and Somerset - came back to the Island in 1986 and have no intention to move again.
 
Stopping in cowes for a week :lol:
Look out for a Black roadster with black wheels oh and of course forum sticker
Use to do the Harley rally at the speedway every year 8-) not been for a while now

This is lovely and so close to what I'm after in terms of condition and provenance, but the spec is just so far off what I want... :(

No worries mate - I've had a lot of interest shown and a potential viewing for next week - you've intrigued me tho' what spec are you looking for that is so much more ?

Its a mix of haves and not haves really. On the one hand I really want to avoid the satnav while on the other my "golden trilogy" are heated seats / multi function SW/ cruise control. Xenons are a must too, although those are standard on the 3.0. Discretionary one is the PDC. And then there is colour, I'm not a fan of black or sterling.

Hahaha, at this rate I'm never going to find a Z4 I want!

GLWTS!
