Advice

[neo_24860]

Hi guys and girls,

At the end of the month I'm looking to put my Z up for sale but would appreciate some advice on how much I should be looking to put her up for.

She's a 2011 E89 2.5 23i M Sport sDrive
69,900 miles
Black with red heated leather
18in Light Alloy Star-Spoke Style 325M Wheels with nearly new P Zero tires all round

Full Service history
02/05/12 - 20206 miles
10/02/15 - 36645 miles
17/03/17 - 49718 miles
21/02/18 - 54961 miles
23/09/19 - 67142 miles
10/06/20 - 69211 miles

MOT was done in June along with service with no advisories
I'm about to get the front bumper resprayed because it has a couple of marks on it that I've not been happy with so getting that sorted.
Very good mechanically, and over all in very good condition.
How much do you think I should be asking?

Sorry, it's a manual, heated seats, dual air con, doesn't have auto lights or wipers though.

No auto lights / wipers :?
Not exactly crucial but thought both were standard on all 89s
No nav?
£10k/£11k ballpark

I bought an immaculate 2009 23i silver/red interior with all toys but 10k more miles 3 years ago privately for £11500.
Have a flick through autotrader - Ebay - Gumtree etc. Good time to sell of course...

You'd be amazed what isn't standard.....
Cruise control not many do have it.
Auto lights/Auto wipers, a lot do but not all
Heated seats, you'd be surprised how many don't have it, even on the top spec seats
Memory seats, not many
iDrive, again not many

and the list goes on and on, personally my must haves are heated seats with memory, iDrive, PDC and auto lights/wipers, now try finding that in a 35is in orange (actually one came up the other day for somelike £23k)

It's like most car makers now, everything is optional extra

This does have front and rear PDC, heated seats (that was a must for me) it is a shame about the lights and wipers, never really bothered me to be honest but a good selling point I guess, it doesn't have Nav either.

So if I put it up for £9750 ono considering it's really good condition but doesn't have nav, auto lights or wipers, should be fair?

Ok so I've just asked BMW for the full optional list

Doesn't have the wind deflector or extra luggage

Does have the enhanced Bluetooth and the USB audio input I count 8 speakers?

Seats are the M Sport heated nappa seats

Right now with the right pics & description I don't see any issue with you finding a buyer £9k-£10k.
Demand for all manner of used cars is high & has been for some 5-6 weeks but something tells me it will change like the wind in another 5-6 weeks

Hi just a wee bit curious, so the car doesn't have sat nav... but it does have 0698 Area-Code 2 for DVD? I thought that was part of the sat nav package?

Not sure the answer on that one? Perhaps it has the option if you wish to fit sat nav perhaps?

For your car that seems a very fair price, shouldn't think you would have much problem achieving that.
