Thing is the Z interior does ware easy and if you know what you are doing its easy to sort out.
Milage wouldn't bother me up to 60k although I do prefer lower. Depends what you want if you have aspired to own such a car why buy a cheap tired one?
I bought mine at 46k which I thought was quite a lot, but at the time there were 3 Z4MCs for sale and it was the spec I wanted and was in great nic so pulled the trigger.
If the cars right and they offer you a decent warranty for piece of mind then go for it. Scratches ware etc can be repaired easily, its other things I would be worried about simple things off the bat..
Tyres - a new set will cost you £700-1250 depending on size and make. Best off putting the best you can afford.
Service - Where is it in terms of service? a Service 2 can cost 800-1200 depending where you go. Oil service £400
Brakes - if they are coming toward the end of there life which is around 40-50k, off the top of my head I cant remember how much discs and pads are all the way round, but I would say probably budget 300-400 for this.
Tax - cost £475 to tax these bad boys
Insurance - anywhere between 400-2000 depending on age and area
Wheel refurb - £400 all round
Aesthetic modifications - If the car needs a good detail, scratch removal, dents, Interiors ware easily so bolsters, steering wheels ect Budget £100-1000? Depending on what you want or how experienced you are. I do this myself and got my car to showroom condition.
Warrenty - if these bothers you, which I think is worth having as my car has had £1500 worth done this year. This costs anywhere from £600-800 depending on age and milage.
These are just off the bat costs. Many private sellers are selling the vehicles, because these costs mount and you wont get back while selling the car, but you can use this as leverage, these are things you need to bare in mind and check while buying. So buying a cheap private car can quickly mount into a garage queen and the milage doesn't quite match and you end up paying out more than you realise. Cheap punts can turn into expensive pits just to get them where you want.
These cars cost a lot to maintain but are easy to buy which is why you get quite a few poor examples. But these costs can be offset and most people will have done these things but there will be a few that try to take the piss.
But if you find a good one that ticks all the boxes you can just sit back and enjoy the ride, find a good one and these cars are probably one of the best cars £ for smiles you can buy atm
