Z4 3.0 Coupe market watch
- Thread starter mr wilks
- Start date
They had been restored but not split to be painted. I am gonna buy some csl wheels and keep them for winter.
Wiper motor packed in on day of collection but replaced under warranty. Fuel pump whines a little at 2k rpm too but that also is being done under warranty.
Got 6 months to pick up any other bits that need doing and have the option at any time to extend the warranty again so most likely will.
Doesn't drive like a 109k car and has been comprehensively serviced and all receipts kept in an organises ring binder for reference.

Thank you
The mileage wouldn't have put me off either , you have to spend to maintain any mileaged car its just the odds go against you on component failure the higher you climb , many times its worth that game of chance as opposed to shelling out £3k more for a 60k car with same spec ?
All depends what kind of miles you plan to throw on it ?
Looking at Autotrader today the market looks a bit more sensible now with most 2006-2007 cars with mileages from 40-100k up for sale between £9-11k. There's far more consistency than there was a few months ago when I bought mine. I paid in line with the above but there were a large number of cars that were overpriced. Interestingly, some of the cars I saw are still up for sale now with some the same price and others reduced by £1k.
i think i got mine at a bargain, great spec, sensible miles & 08 plate for sub 10k, i'm happy with it anyway.
Had my first coupe back in 2010 which was a 56 plate on 91,000 miles in sapphire black with black leather, no spec - i gave £11,000 back then! THey amaze me how they always seem to hover around 8k and above

Couple of tidy Z4Cs up for sale on auto trader (local to me) with 40k on the clock sub £10,500 list price aka sub £10k purchase.
Seems a few £k cheaper than other ads I have seen on here...?

Are you allowed to link to them? I cant see any and the only filters I have are sub 70 miles and manual.
I have been looking recently and thinking about going private to avoid having to part exchange my Civic as I am not sure if I can get by with only a Z4C in terms of practicality.
I had previously been looking at trade adverts and am currently tempted by a car thats just a shade under £14k

Hi Taz, I have actually been lurking on the boards for a little while. I had previously only considered buying trade as I had not bought privately before. I am coming round to the idea as it would give me time to see how much use my sensible civic would get (I only use the car once or twice a week).
On a side note I wanted to say that you for your contribution on the 'How rare is this colour' thread. Im really looking for a Monica Blue car but it was eye opening seeing that there are only 85 of them about. Spent the whole week wondering if I should hold out or buy the one I test drove at the weekend (Saphire black with black/white interior).

Your car is stunning Jamie.
I have read through your entire thread, the info about the rust on the rear is good to know (I hope you get that sorted asap). Am I right in thinking that you bought the car very recently? It looks a lot like a car I was in contact with a dealer about at the end of September, it was about due/over due for Inspection two. I couldn't get over to see it before my holiday (I was flying on the Saturday and talking to the dealer Wed/Thu) and didn't want to risk putting a deposit down without seeing the car in person. I was tempted though as it looked amazing in the photos.
If it is the same one I am really chuffed it went to someone who is going to enjoy it!

Hopefully those links work as they came from the App.
