Ok guys.... Please don't take this the wrong way because I know some of you have been polite in the way you have put your points across but I have some comments to make and here goes...I hope you take them in the polite way they are intended.....
The references to the mileage are a little off the mark in that any car of this age is considered a low mileage on just 69k.
40k and 50k examples are considered EXCEPTIONALLY low miles, but that does not make 69k no less a low mileage. Work on the assumption of a mere 12k miles per year (which was the old average, the new is 15k) and this car should be on 108k miles. Ok?
SO with this in mind a car on an 06 plate on 69k miles is low mileage. A 6cyl BMW 3.2 engine on that mileage ....hasnt even broken a sweat. So to suggest I would only get that money (money that is ALREADY CHEAPER THEN NEARLY EVERY OTHER ONE FOR SALE) if I had 10k miles less on it is ludicrous. I don't want to appear argumentative or stroppy but I am 41yrs of age, not a 20yr old uneducated boy racer and I have been a petrol head and an enthusiast for many years and owned many many enthusiast and specialist cars, Esprits, GTO's, AMG's, countless BMW's and Porsches etc.... I know a fair car and a fair mileage so please....... Take this explanation in the vein that it is meant and not as a rant.
If 69k is a 'high mileage' for you then please do pass onto the next one.
NOW the owners.... My car has had 5 keepers.... Pretty standard numbers for a roadster of this age I am sure you will agree. Again, if not then please move on rather than publically criticise.
The car has been OVER serviced and the last service was at 66612, that is only 2,800 miles ago. The last inspection 2 was at 44,478 so perhaps it's an inspection 1 next? I don't know you tell me the book doesn't say what is due next.
6 of the services are BMW main dealer and 2 BMW specialist.
Services are:
1181 all important running in check
10,895
22,063
33,197
44,478
56,242
66612
And the brake fluid was completely flushed and changed less than 500 miles ago and this was done by a BMW master technician.
The car is ALREADY priced very fairly and as I have stated, to my knowledge when I posted my ad there was only ONE that was £100 cheaper than mine in the whole country...... Yet apparently I can only get what I asking if I lower it still? Lol
Guys I respect you all but this is the car.. These are the pictures..... And this is my honest and open advert.
The car is amazing, the condition is beautiful both mechanical and bodywork. My detailing of the paint is NOT hiding anything mechanical underneath so no need to think that. It's a plus point not a minus.
I have said I welcome ANY INSPECTION AT ALL ....I can't be any more confident, transparent and open that that can I?
Cars take longer than a couple of weeks to sell on the whole...... I know because the two cars (even the super rare one I really want) are still for sale and they have been on the market longer than mine!
I have stated in the advert that I DO have the STANDARD exhaust if you wish to revert to standard - free with the sale
I have also stated in the advert that I have the STANDARD springs if you want to put it back to standard ride height.
I haven't got the wheels but if you want old original style ones then, again, my car is cheaper than most of the others so there is a margin there to go and find some.
I hope I have covered everything now lol....... I am often at work and don't have the info with me so apologies there to all.
This is my car, this is my advert. I challenge any inspectorate to find anything wrong with it....... And if it's not for you then please just move on respectfully..... If you have any questions I have forgotten then I will be more than happy to answer them..
Cheers all
