Hi all,
Just thought I’d share some feedback on the sale of my Z4.
http://www.z4-forum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=26783
I had it for just over 3 years and used it mainly for work commuting around for my sales job across the south east. I decided to price it quite low at £7,990 below any others on the market to move it quickly as I already had another car. It was a nicely spec'd 2006 2.0 with 73,000 miles on the clock and FSH by BMW, I had had it since nearly new when it had 7k on the clock.
I advertised it here, on piston heads and ebay first and got no responses. I then put it on Autotrader and then enquiries poured in - with a lot from Malta wanting to export the car, apparently a very common thing now since the government there relaxed import regs so I’ve been told. However speed was of the essence so to the UK market and a dealer ended up buying it from me for £7,700 and they now have it on their forecourt. Once on Autotrader I sold it in 3 days with cash in my bank. Put it up Friday night, took calls on Saturday, viewings on Sunday, sold on Monday. By pricing it slightly below the others I think I saved myself a lot of hassle. Depreciation and service costs probably came in at about £3,500 a year, but after my car allowance from work that was written off. All in all a very enjoyable way to cover 66,000 miles!
Now I have a new motorway crusher in the shape of a brilliantly spec’d 120d msport. The plan now is to get a weekend toy, the GF wants me to get a Z4M roadster and I’m tempted by an Elise or an older 911. We’ll have to wait and see what comes up!
But for now here is the new one
