That's a lovely looking car. I'd wager that you could buy that now and run it for 3 years and add 20k miles and you'll get back what you pay for it today.

The trouble is are the red z4mc’s worth the 2-3k premium over the other colours?

..... yes ! They are stunning . Status beat me to the Seymore pope one !
At least it appears to have had the oil changed every two years, which is good. I’d get an inspection 1 done - including valve clearances, as it should - for piece of mind.
FWIW that’s pretty much what I paid for mine over 4 years ago with 24k on the clock. Though PVR will tell you I stole it from him at that price :lol:

if you want rare in ZMs then space grey , py , white or midnight/monaco blue are the ones :wink:Simon 3.2M

As long as it's had good oil I wouldn't worry massively personally. I changed my coolant last weeek when I changed the thermostat as a precautionary measure. Gearbox and diff oil isn't desperate with the miles it's covered - but it would be wise due to time. Valve clearances again would need doing, but the car can be driven beforehand. Other than dropping the oil there's nothing that gives major cause for concern. They are all things that can be done in time and can be used to drive the price down

Don’t see much mention of whether garaged.
As cars start to age, this becomes more critical, not necessarily for the bodywork although certainly helps, but rather all the electrical connections you can’t see which slowly start to corrode.
I’ve found the best place to look are the bulb terminals in the rear light cluster - ie the part of the car that’s furthest away from any warmth - I’ve seen from almost new condition to one which was almost falling apart...
