Thoughts on this Z4 Coupe?

I'm currently contemplating getting a Z4 or a 350z, however my budget is only £10k, so my options are limited.

I've seen this Coupe, which looks like a bargain. However there doesn't appear to be any decent options (steering wheel controls etc)

Anyway, what's everyone's thoughts on this beauty, worth it or bide my time for a Sport Spec high mileager?

Any things I should look out for if I manage to take it for a test drive?

It also states in ad that it has been in some sort of " insurance payout" 8) so not cheap enough if cat c/cat d
 
I didn't know that the coupes came in an si se spec, thought they were all si sport.

I'd personally wait it out for an si sport!
 
All coupes are si which relates to engne spec, the trim level is SE or Sport lie the roadster.

Get a sport though, will be easier to sell on.

Yes it will , you just need patience & determination , set £10k as your target & that will secure you a very decent example of a 3.0SI Sport coupe , you will also have to be a little flexible on colours,spec & mileage but in the last 6/8 weeks there have been many pass through the forum around this figure
stay tuned :thumbsup:
 
I have a SE coupe, husband has a sport. When I got the SE I didn't like the steering wheel, alu dash or 17 inch wheels. Now they are upgraded we both prefer driving mine so don't rule out a SE.
 
You'll get a decent Si Sport coupé for 10k, but I don't think you'll find many with lower than 50k mileage. That said, get one with 50-60k mileage and it will likely have had the Inspection II service already carried out which would save you £350-500.

Patience is a virtue, these are rare cars and good things come to those who wait
 
This one is local to me and caught my eye... seems like a good price... until I saw at the bottom:

"subject to an insurance payout"

So CAT C/D or stolen/Recovered.

Not sure the bargain.
