Z4 E85 3.0si sport manual

Corrective spending like I am doing brings the spend up very quickly, and you don’t want to end up at £10k

^this

Well, inkey$ and I are more or less aligned but we have both gone through the costs of bringing anything up to scratch :lol:

Unless a car has been garaged all its life, you are going to find the issues that I am finding. Amazing what winter salt and outside living do to a car

 

[Z450]

Difficult one to price, as there are very few to compare to and condition at this age can vary hugely.

In my opinion it’s in one of the nicest colour combination with reasonable mileage. I don’t think it’s too far off price wise although it’s been mentioned you are edging close to Coupe money, the reality is there is a larger choice of Coupes than facelift 3.0l Roadsters.

I suspect give it another 8 weeks and there may be a slightly larger choice, that being said any keenly priced cars sell very quickly!

Thanks very much both, if only the guy would reply and answer my queries we could then start a dialogue….

I never understand this, if you want to sell something then why would you not communicate with your potential buyers!

 

[pvr]

Had that a few times as well whilst looking, either sold or something wrong (like a cat car)

 

[RMB]

Excuse my ignorance, what is the suspension arm pins going to cost parts and labour?

That's not a very pleasant way to acknowledge RMB Paul.....I think it might be a very good idea if you had a sit and think about your attitude at the moment don't you....?

Great, thanks very much, I’ll reply now.
Sorry, it just didn’t occur to me that you might be away, during the um Easter holidays! :?

I’m sure you’ll already know this but only 3 facelift E85 3.0si sport manual on autotrader and just the Maldives blue one on PistonHeads so I reckon his asking price isn’t too off the mark. Less of these late spec (3.0/Si/sport/manual) E85’s imported to the UK than the E86 equivalent so less choice and you’ll have to be either lucky or quick but probably both to bag a car that fits the bill. Good luck with the search. Patience is key

 

[earthdweller]

Indeed only 695 manual E85 3.0Si registered and some of those will be SE not Sports

Finding a good one now is like looking for a needle in a haystack, it’s now 15 years after they stopped making them

 

[eddietiv1]

They are vary rare now and mines a good one, ive replied to original poster Richard (RMB) and sent him details over but no acknowledgement at all from him, he was asking for dialogue ?.

 

[RMB]

Thanks for everyone’s input. Sorry been flat out this week. Replied to sellers email and hoping for further facts and pics. Cheers

Does anyone know this car of have any thoughts?

Is it Monaco or midnight blue?

 

[pvr]

That is Monaco, good to see a handbrake that works at the right height as well (first sign of issue when I see a handbrake yanked up)

Good mileage and for a dealer good price

 

[pvr]

Lack of pic from drivers seat is always worrying though
