cj10, all the facts re: the figures on the auction are true, the car does indeed owe me just under £8K with what I have actually spent on it. If this is REALLY an issue and you need proof I can go so far as to provide scanned copies of the receipt of sale of the vehicle plus all the receipts of what I have spent on it to the exact figure, The figure on the MOT invoice is £1296 for example, I have emails from the breakers yard showing the agreed price on the interior and also further emails discussing the delivery of the interior once I have paid that figure with them, also have BMW original invoices for additional parts purchases etc.
That said, I am a realist. Would you pay £8000 for a z4 that was a 2004 model with 123'000 miles on it? The point of the statement was to show that I already KNOW I am going to be taking a loss on the car, but an attempt to mitigate that loss as much as I believe is possible. I had for example had an offer of £4000 on it which would be cutting my nose off to spite my face.
Given the big picture, the timeframe I have owned the car, looking into z4s of this age and condition, my figure of £5500 being a sensible offer ballpark is both above what I paid for the vehicle on purchase, but a fair price for the car and would be a figure that I would be happy to close the auction for.
Hope that clears the matter up?
EDIT: in fact if I remove the ambiguity altogether and make a firm commitment, will state that categorically I will close the auction for the above figure of £5500. hope that meets the rules here?
