For the last few months it was priced at £8995.
They are now asking £10k.
How does that work.
With that interior I would have thought a £1000 discount might help to shift it instead of increasing the price.

Yep we,ve discussed before & imo quirky is not always cool the blue must surely put off 9 out of 10 potential buyers :?

So, I'm now in the market for a Coupe.
Have been won over by the zed experience following the purchase of the roadster back at the end of summer and notwithstanding it's initial gremlins it's inspired me to seek out a similar specced/age coupe.
It will replace a 320d M Sport convertible which is currently sat on the driveway of my place in the UK, depreciating nicely as we speak.
Spotted this one today and looks lovely. High miles which if it's been looked after won't worry me too much. Nicely specced although no cruise. Not a dealbreaker, just a nice-to-have. Sub 10k pricepoint. Nice interior (imo), sports seats, manual, hollow shnitzers. ticks a lot of boxes
Dealer motor so I'm anticipating a good haggle.
Opinions?

What the rationale behind this price increase Andy? There are quite a few Z4C's hanging around on AT, it seems baffling to put more on the asking price.....

I was hoping you'd buy it and swap the lighter interior with my black one.

It's the same thing with the one I posted earlier today.
Struggling to sell so increase the price.

 

[Mr Tidy]

I think I need to send the seller a Casio in a Jiffy-bag - £1,000 reduction from £9,194 is NOT £8,294

 

[Mr Tidy]

From what I saw the advertised car had a black interior - might this be what you are looking for?

(First is my current Montego Blue with Pearl Grey, second is my previous Ruby Black with Pearl Grey)!

Ive been to this garage previously & the 2 lads are nice enough but do come across as "bounders"
The cars are not presented well ( or wasn't when i went to look at a Alfa Brera )
They're just parked up in a gravel car park with self storage containers & there is virtually anything & everything for sale
As for the price up / down capers ? I suspect they are just fishing & will have sold enough cars to know that eventually the car will sell whether its it at £7750 , £8295 or perhaps even more its all about a buyer seeing the advert most likely for the first time & thinking it looks a good deal ( which it may well be ? )
I actually think they have misread the market for these cars & that 5/6 decent pics & well constructed advert would have sold the car by now unless there is something obviously amiss on viewing / driving ?

Nope, was looking at the other linked car with the beige interior trim and carpets.

I like lighter car interiors and I'm fastidious so stains etc aren't a problem. I would swap in my red leather door card inserts but the general lighter tone is something I would like to get if possible.
