Cant believe the price drops

[dgm]

roadsters of any marque tend to be the more desirable option for obvious reasons. I'm sure there are exceptions in the stratosphere, but not sure the Z-Coop is up there?

Really? Have you any evidence to back this up? What are the obvious reasons in your opinion?

I guess its the same as when coupe owners hark on about theirs

I think usually roadsters are more rare but this is not the case with the Z4 M. WHo knows what prices will do, it will depend on the demand in the future. In the future, In a world where converibles are metal folding metal tops, will people still want a ragtop? Or will they prefer a harder edged coupe? Or will they just prefer an old fashioned ragtop for the best of both worlds at a time when petrol prices are astronomical so these cars only come out on special occassions.

I think there will be good demand for both in the future and prices might stabilise at the same level. Both are at least a dying breed, and pretty rare. Lets see where prices are in another say 10 years when there is more money sloshing around peoples pockets and most new cars are nummed down further. Personally I like both but prefer the Coupe and suits my needs better but don't care which one holds the value better long term

I've no time for the coupe v convertible crap. Have whatever one suits you best, personally I have no desire or need for a soft top and would never buy one.

I know, but for me at least, it's become a bit tiring. Every decent thread seems to get dragged down by it.

Exactly what I meant.

Oooh get you.

I don't own either, I drive a roadster, I would very happily own both. I was speculating. The thread is about price drops, the bottoming out of the curve is relevant to the subject line. I think there were slightly less MGBs than MGB GTs made, more roadsters survive. ( I am an ex member of the MG owners club UK )

[Taz]

if more roadsters survive and they are more expensive then that blows my theory that the coupe may be worth more in the future

 

[daz05]

Tax, consider the z3m before bowing out.

I also agree with DGM it's boring banter.

 

[original guvnor]

I'm with Ranski and DGM - I care not about the coupe and roadster debate - I've had one of each.

Let's not hijack the thread with coupe v roadster stuff. At the moment all we can say is that the Coupe has held its value marginally better than the Roadster because an identically specified/mileage/condition/service history etc M Coupe would fetch more than the equivalent M Roadster.

Touchy but without cause. What I said wasn't in reply to anything you said. I really couldn't care less whether you've got a coupe or a roadster as long as your enjoying it.

 

[Taz]

i find the normal roadsetr/coupe debate to be harmless fun, in all honesty i don't think either is better, just different for different reason, obviously i prefer the coupe and thats why i have 1

i find a debate as to which will be of better value in 20 years time to be interesting, it does not mean that either is the better, its just an interesting thought for the future

I am new to the forum. I haven't come across the roadster v coupe debate on here before. No offence was meant by 'ooh get you', in fact it was deliberately moronic because I didn't want you to take it seriously.

No sweat, I really wasn't aiming anything I said at you.

The coupe v roadster thing 'may' have been amusing at one point but has long since ceased to be. I'm not offended or annoyed by it, just bored.

I'd love to believe this was true ! However a more probable explanation is that the seller was offered a trade-in price by Sytner of let's say £14k and decided to try and sell it privately via Pistonheads for more without any luck. They've therefore chopped it in and this is what Sytner have put it up at as an AUC.

Yep, has to be this.

Although he did say on here

A problem of too many cars and limited garage space means my pristine baby has to go.
