So I would be really interested to gauge where you think I should be pitching my 56 plate Z4C 3.0 SI for sale price wise ?
The car is very high mileage: about 205,000 and rising daily as I am using it.
Dark metallic green, (Tiefgrun only 16 of them), black sports leather, satnav, with new disc, 6 CD changer, bluetooth, auto wipers and headlights. Just about every option. Carbon dash trim, some wear on the steering wheel and radio knobs, new mats.
She hit a fox on the M3 about a year ago and was categorised as cat D. Work included new front bumper and valance, 2 X foglights, air-con and water radiators, grilles, a headlight and misc other parts. Work is to a very high standard and has the benefit of ice cold air-con, new headlight and no stone chips on the front.
There is a small dent on the rear wing by the fuel filler and a paint scrape on the nearside rear wing.
The interior is pretty much immaculate with only slight driver's seat bolster wear.
Small carbon lacquered boot spoiler, rear luggage blind, Machine Monkey exhaust tips.
Lots of genuine BMW main dealer bills and history, 3 previous owners, book pack and very recent MOT.
Pretty new Michelin Pilot sports on the back and good cheaper brand front tyres, wheels are all excellent and are not the split rims.
I am thinking somewhere just over £5,000, what are your thoughts?
Many thanks in advance.
 
Cyph3r, you may well be right but surely it depends on condition and history.
You can't actually fault this car, apart from mileage.
In Nov 2014 it showed 253.6 HP on a dyno, with 187,000 miles on the clock: not bad really.
It's probably the cheapest Z4C 3.0 SI Sport in the country ?
 
No doubts it will please someone & no matter the history or miles it will always look far more than a £5k car BUT :cry:
Its a cat d
It has 205,000 miles on
Its a marmite colour that would take a age to sell if it was neither of the above :?
Go for it at £5k & see what interest you get , its certainly the highest miler we've seen on here for sale so keep us posted :thumbsup:
Ps . pics always help

+1

personally i think the green would be nice but i think mr wilks is right
 
Wow, that is a tricky one!

Highest mileage I have seen lately was a silver Coupe with red leather advertised by a trader on A/T for £7,000 which did go eventually.

I guess you just have to try it and see what reaction you get. Good luck anyway. :thumbsup:

Thanks for posting though, I'll stop worrying about mine hitting 80K in about 50 miles time! :lol:
 
We did have a guy join up in last 6 months after paying around £5600 for a big mile Zc , not quite 205k but was well in the late hundreds , a silver one iirc :?

at that price you could break it and get 5k I bet ( depending on the bodywork )

Good luck with the sale

Be interesting to actually know the figure for a broken down ZC or ZR , non ///M I would guess around £2k - £3000 max :?
///M versions possibly £4k/£4500 :?

Exactly Pete , unless pranged & don't want to claim , needing a very expensive repair (steering column ? ) or bought back off insurance ridiculously cheap then breaking a Z is not likely to produce big enough reward to warrant the effort
 
Thank you chaps.
I will have a think about what I am doing and then maybe put up a sale post with lots of pictures.
As you say its a cheap way into a Z4C for someone on a limited budget who may not want to do many miles, eventually then it would catch up with itself!
Looking back at the history it did 82,000 before its first MOT, then 129,000 by year four. 154,000 by year five, 190,000 by year six, since then its dropped off, its obviously been cared for with lots of bills etc.
As you say colour is a Marmite one: I call it German Racing Green Metallic and when clean looks really nice.
It did have the wooden dash but I had it wrapped with really nice textured carbon, looks so much better.
Was thinking of getting the steering wheel retired by Wizard, as the leather is sun bleached on the top. The spokes have started to go shiny too.
Otherwise the interior is really very good indeed.
Once again thanks for your thoughts.
 
Don't know if it helps, but there is a silver manual Sport Coupe with black leather and 152K miles on A/T just now for £6,450 that according to the trader has full BMW Service History, Xenons, pdc and MFSW and doesn't show as being recorded (so probably isn't to be fair).

Compared to that OP £5K for yours doesn't seem excessive - at the end of the day how else will anyone get into a Coupe for that sort of money?
 
difficult one. I know this one: (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2008-BMW-Z4-3-0SI-CABRIO-BLACK-/172338225159?hash=item282028a007:g:OF8AAOSwZVlXkJ~Z) has been sat on ebay for 2 months with prices varying between £5250 and £5700 with circa 150'000 on the clock and it hasnt sold.

That said, I think there does come a point where mileage matters less the higher it gets in terms of price. The difference in value between a car which has (say) 80K and 130K might be significant. But between a car which has 150K and 200K? Not so much, you are still going to attract the same sort of buyer who doesnt mind a high miler if it has history. £5K should be easily acheiveable I think.
 
So she is on Ebay at £4,950 or best offer.
