M market watch

Always a jump after the winter/christmas drop (November to January best times to buy cars IMO) plus wonder if we are seeing the revival of the manual gearbox and maybe a bit of speculation that it will hold its value or appreciate now (if you can't afford a new Porsche GT4 what's the next closest thing... Z4MC :thumbsup:). E46 M3s getting a bit old and sub frame issues loosing sales so adds to the Z4M appeal too, glad I got mine last month :evil:

I bought my ///M early/mid December 13 and soon after the guy I bought it from realised he had made a mistake and offered me more money to buy it back, he was thinking spring time these go for a lot more but it's mine and staying mine now for a long while to come :thumbsup:

That one was sold a while ago - bit slow in updating their web site. It was sold the day it went up on Pistonheads and before it went on the forecourt - unless thefirst buyer pulled out.

Deposit only left a few days ago, so presume your last point is what has happened.

Hmm, good of them to ask other enquirers if they would reconsider :) . I left my details with them too, unless they did start doing that and the first one bought it :)

Yea the guy sent me over some additional snaps of it, it's pristine as well. But it couldn't be any further from Newcastle :cry:

You absolutely have to be willing to travel nationally for the right Z4M.

I think many dealers just want a certain profit. So if they can buy in cheap, they can sell it quicker at a cheaper price with a decent margin. If there seems to be a demand, buy it at a higher price and sell higher hopefully just as quick with the same margin. I think getting a quick turnoround in cars is quite crucial.

that makes sense for sure.
 
As of this very moment there's no photography of this, but that price though?

£22,850 for a 2007 40k miles black coupe. Crazy.
