Just seen this on AT. Looks like someone has bought it as it says reserved on the ad

Dealer warranty as well for another few years. Not bad

Not ‘ever’ though.
They were all at zero at one point

Mmmmmm very true

If the car has been serviced as per BMW schedule ie every 2 years it’s a waste of good unused oil…..

 

[Mr Tidy]

That looks like a good price for a virtually unused manual 35i, so it's probably not surprising it is reserved!

 

[Johnbmwz4]

Yep I paid a similar price for my car with late 30k miles. Absolute bargain in my eyes. Probably won’t do many more miles and be part of a collection….

Mileage isn't the only age factor. Time and oxygen play their parts.

And the original price was a lot to pay for very little.

 

[pvr]

Even though time and oxygen have some impact, but nothing like use.

My Golf is 30 years old, and besides the starter motor, rear rubber brake hoses and spark plugs / liquids, nothing has ever been changed or touched in all that time. It has always been garaged so as long as the storing has been good I would be very happy to buy a 2700 miles car.

I would be interested what a "technical car" is? :?

Would be funny if they took the engine out and ran it at full revs on a bench for 12 years, then stuck it back in the car! :lol:

Probably used as a car to drive around a BMW manufacturing plant (Oxford) or similar, driven for lots of small journeys on cold engine - big engine wear

Huge depreciation if you buy and use as a car should be for 3 years - would then be worth £10k

 

[pvr]

£6k in 3 years is low though.

The attraction for me would be the low miles, 2 year warranty and the top model that is available in a manual.

Yeah, I would imagine the N54 with a manual gearbox would be extremely entertaining.
TBH I think the price is pretty good, considering. If a dealer got hold of that they would take a punt on some stupid asking price of £30,000 or so.

 

[pvr]

What is stopping you? You were looking for another one, your wife only wants a manual, it is cheap and has warranty. Win all around

 

[Pondrew]

What is stopping you?

The N54. Had one, can't afford another!
Says it has sold anyway!

You consider nearly 40% depreciation of the value you paid in 3 years LOW

Yep, compared to the new cost

This was a very good price for what will be effectively a new car. There might be issues associated with being a garage queen but it’s under warranty until 2025 so any issues will come out by then. If a car is stored effectively then it doesn’t deteriorate really at all despite all the handwringing on forums about cars not being used. Agreed if the car is in a damp garage it’s a recipe for disaster but in a good environment it’s really not bad. In any case the problems we will come across in the future will all be module/electronic related not engine or rust (unless rubbish storing - see above). And that will happen to all of them. In my view the owner can have five years of weekend use, get the miles to say 15000 and still sell it in for hardly any depreciation. Most older Zeds are weekend toys nowadays as this one will be
