M market watch
- Thread starter DPG
- Start date
An investment is an asset considered to give a return, and that is surely the case with that car. The mileage is irrelevant Imo.
So tempting at that money! Park mine up, use this one over winter and then move it on again in the spring / summer. Now how do I tell the wife that I want to pull the money out of the offset mortgage to buy a car that is very similar to what I have, only with double the miles!
If you buy two cars now, one with 25k miles and one with 60k miles, and in 3 years you sell them - assuming they appreciate, which is going to net you the most profit for your investment?
The price curve for appreciating cars is directly related to their mileage, and it's not a linear chart.

Sales fall through. I work in a commercial role for a publisher so am perfectly au fait with this.
But I don't take away a product, reduce it's worth (2k more miles) and add a 7-10% premium!!!

Yikesthat stands out as the MCoupe bargain of the year if all stacked up on viewing
A great way in to ///Mness & can only head upwards in value if looked after
if only we could predict the future, this may be worth buying and storing
I'v put a deposit down on this after viewing late yesterday.
FBMWSH, the whole front end has been repainted due to a minor incident, next service due in May 2017 (Ins I), Decent life in the tyres/brakes also has the added benefit of an immaculate interior i.e no wear on the bolster and no marks on the steering wheel plastics, etc.
It needs some TLC i.e the front calipers bleed nipples are possibly seized and there is a slight oil weep on the front LHS of the engine down low but im pretty sure it will brush up and i'm glad to be back in the M fold after having my car written off in the summer.
CSL's/CH's, Aero's, Stubby, ZHP and possibly a GSR Carbon airbox await.... might even put a BBK kit on if i need to replace the calipers although i could probably just get them retapped or buy second hand ones on ebay

Great buy and glad someone on this forum has benefitted from what appears a very good buy.

Nice car!

I had a Z4MR in carbon black but that got written off.
Iv been managing without a car since August.... Sold my aeros, Zhp and a few other bits.... In hindsight I should have kept them but I'll buy the bits as I go as I did with my last car
Shame I couldn't get the CH wheels off my old car and the H&S exhaust due to damage.
