So long, my lovely 35is

[mcbutler]

Are you planning on replacing it with anything else?

I bought a Range Rover Sport (I know, don't say anything!) earlier in the year. Its a bit of a diva, and needs attention (it started by waking me up every night around 2am!) - then a £1100 MOT. :x
Its a completely different car to the Z obviously (and like driving a powerful sofa!)... I'll see how long I can live without a sports car on the drive (its been about 12 years!, 2 s2000s, 2 Z4s) before deciding if those days are over...

You might regret that - I knew a car salesman in Bristol a few years back.
He took me to a compound FULL or Range Rovers/discos etc that no one wanted/no one could fix economically/no one could sell.
They have the worlds worst rep for reliability, even the brand new ones.
My friend Louis bought a 2023 full spec landrover thing cost an absolute fortune, the one with the daft boxes glued on the side looks like a brick, it broke down in less than 48 hours! Took them ten days to get it started. Two days after its back the alarm started working in reverse (opening the car with the remote locks it but you can start the engine if you are locked in. Locking the car unlocks it but you cant start it!!!) so once again its undriveable!
Did you know the V6 engine is a V8 with the back 2 cylinders cut off and plugged up!!!! Says it all really.
Hope you are lucky with it but I would definately be wanting a dam good warranty

Beautiful car (I would say that), I hope it goes to a good home.

I'm curious how much you had it on AT for? I didn't see it on there.

Yes, maybe it will end up on here.

It was on AT for £18k. I was surprised I had literally no private interest at all. AT suggested £15.5 WBAC did £11.5 :evil:

I’m thinking of selling my 35iS …. I have a 3 month old granddaughter Daisy who is the apple of my eye and I’ll be needing a sensible car to ferry her about when I take up full time Grampering when our daughter finishes her maternity leave next April. Every time I drive the zed and gaze at her on the drive I have second thoughts it’s really a tough decision.

Cant you buy a cheap little car and keep your Zed? Or put her in the front seat without the airbag.

Stop being sensible and keep the Zed :evil:

I had the same issue (although not full time), the zed went as it was also giving me some issues with my knee and bought an M4 vert - its a great car, roof down, four seats and the kids love it, 30mpg when sensible
