Ebay bargain...z4 3.0i

[ph001]

£2k for the win?? Doesn’t sound like any of the faults would be hard to rectify. Only 60k miles and decent wheels too.

Those wheels are dire, but it does have M sports seats by the looks.

Wheels are easy to sort though.

Passed its last two MOTs without even an advisory :|

Might pick one of these up as a project car for TVR and myself to play with.

Says £2500 Ono, “not starting after new battery, but will. Run fine”, mmmm.

 

[ph001]

Well that went pretty quick! Anyone on here?

 

[MACK]

Interesting to see if it pops up on here. Not starting after a new battery could be anything I guess from a simple ignition switch upwards. Roof motor easily sorted these days could well turn out to be a nice little buy for someone, especially as it's got the M sports.

 

[ph001]

Yeh, will have been ignition switch or starter solenoid for sure. Not much else stops them firing. As you say, the roof motor is not an issue to sort these days. Bargain for somebody that.

did a sale actually go through though? seen numerous cars on ebay that have been removed from sale because they didn't go for as much as a seller hoped, but they were too cheap to pay to put a reserve price on.

on a side note, when did ebay get so expensive for selling cars? I paid £10 to advertise a spares and repair bmw, only to get stung with another £20 fee when it sold, and the car only went for £160, so I paid nearly 20% of its value in fees!

I noticed that recently, really have to be careful. Rather use Autotrader now.

I offered 2k for it... But got declined.

I think Ebay is OK for a classified car ad at circa £15. Its a lot cheaper than trader and seems to have a better reputation for the quality of the cars for sale than it did 10+ years ago. However auction style listing are expensive compared to trader on anything above £5k. The £10 fee + 1% fee. £110 on a £10k car makes even traders ridiculously extortionate fees look cheap!
