Advice needed .. Possible Z4 coupe sale

[Jamiehrc]

Due to reasons id rather not go into it seems i may have to sell my Z4 Coupe Si 56 N52 facelift

I bought it about 3 months back from a forum owner in already great condition with full BMW service.

Since then i have spent close to £3000 on the car getting it perfect to keep as its a brilliant car and makes me smile everytime i drive it !

I need to have a 5 seater car again (x5 e70 or e60 550i/535d
as i had one before) as soon i will have to collect my 4 children on a regular basis.

The advice I need is on the price I put it up for ?

It owes me just over 10k its had all new suspension bilstien b12pro inclueding bmw oe top mounts, bump stops etc, brakes (brembo performance, 4x new calipers, badges, refurbed 224 Z4M alloys with new asymmetric 5's all round, rocker gasket seal, oil change (between the next due service), OE floor mats, disc update to 2019 maps, carbon interior wrap, gear knob, royal steering wheel refurb, polish and ceramic coat (liquid elements), bosch s4 battery the list goes on ..

Its on 99k miles but is in perfect condition.

I was thinking £8995 is this too much or to little ? Doubt there are many around in this condition. Aware i couldn't get what it owes me but dont want to lose to much .. i would not be selling unless i was forced into it as i am being

But aware it may just be my love for the car and fear of losing to much preventing me from being objective ?

What you think ?

At 99,000m I wouldn’t value it any more than £8K and if I were buying it you would be offered £7500! but there are, I am sure others who would disagree. I am sure you realise that any mods such as carbon wrap etc are just to your taste and do not add value and in some cases can be against you. So saying it does look very nice though and good luck with your sale.

prepare for the mileage comments, it will surely explode in 1000 miles time.

I’d suggest you keep the Z & buy a cheap 09/10 XC60 with the 5 cylinder engine which u can pick up decent ones (& real dogs) for 4K - provided u don’t go into London or elsewhere a Euro 5 compliant car can’t go.

Think im with you on the buy a cheap 2nd car and keep the Z at the moment as i have put too much into it to let it go.

Even store it as i might not have space for 2 cars. At least i can get the use out of it for its final 1000 miles before it packs up for good.. lol

Thanks for the comments

Looks a lovely example. If I was on the look out for one I’d certainly want to view this if it was advertised at £8995. However I don’t recall ever paying the asking price for a car... :roll:

I think that is the best plan - however much you have spent I just can't see a 99K mile E86 making £9K. (If only they did, as I'm about to sell a 91K Montego E86)!

 

[Jamiehrc]

Yes agree with the never paid the asking price i havent either, well apart for this car lol but it was a fair price ! the £8995 obviously has built in wiggle room if i put it at £8495 or £7995 id get offers lower so always go with the top line figure.

I will stick it up after xmas if theres no interest ill buy a cheap 2nd car and keep the Z4.

Thanks for the input and varied comments there greatly appreciated.

Wish I didnt have to even contemplate the whole scenario in the first place, but thats life ..

If you still have the standard parts you could put it back to stock and sell the new stuff separately. You might get a bit closer to the amount you're looking for...

Anytime other than Xmas eve I’d agree, as likely with 4 kids credit cards will be maxed out ;@)
