What's this Z4 worth? cat C roadster

[Jgy6000]

Hi guys,

I have had my fair share of cars and many BMW's but now I'm looking to get myself into a cheapish

What do you think?

Seems odd to be written off just for alignment? Parts to fix aren't that expensive.

 

[Jgy6000]

Yes, it's doesn't quite add up in that sense also..

 

[mr wilks]

It is priced marginally below non cat cars with similar miles & spec so thats a start .
It appears to have been lowered but not spacered so personally not liking the arch overhang on the alloys ?
Easily sorted for £100
Guess you would need to try before you buy & aim for £3500 or as close to & you may get lucky :wink:
Or\ throw a few more ££ in & wait for a decent forum car to come along

I would make sure that the chassis number matches the licence plate number, otherwise its a ringer!

There is one for sale on the forum at the moment 3.0lady .The car looks in excellent condition and the price is £4000.A safer bet than the cat c.

Too much dodgyness. My advice (having been around cars all my life) Walk away. Take that advice or leave it, I don't care much - it's your wallet but I wouldn't go near it.

Can somebody explain what a cat c is? I don't believe IV ever seen that term over here. :?

it has been involved in some occurrence that has left it needing a repair. the insurance company have decided they would be financially better off paying the owner the full value of the car and auctioning the salvage. (in the uk we refer to these cars as write off,s ie beyond economical repair) these cars are categorised depending on the severity of the damage.

Insurance Loss Categories - Quick reference

* Category A - Must be crushed. All of it.

* Category B - Vehicle may not be returned to road but parts may be sold.

* Category C - Repairable. Significant damage. Cost of the repair is more than book value of vehicle at dealer rates.

* Category D - Repairable. Probably non-structural damage. May have been economic to repair, but insurer doesn't want to.

* Category X - Repairable. Minor Damage
