z4m vert advice please

[monkadill]

Hi,

can i have your honest opinion on this z4m vert. The price reflects the seller wishing to recoup 4k invested in the wheels and tyres.

Many thanks,

Not much interest, why?

 

[gwatson]

Good spec and looks in good condition, but it's £1500 to £2000 too expensive for the mileage, £500 tax due and those wheels look awful IMO.

Not much interest, why?

IMO it may be down to the mileage, although 60K isn't astronomical by any stretch, and the wheels won't be to everyone's taste, the difference in ride quality suffers from 18" to 19" so I'd have thought going to 20" wouldn't help matters, easily changed back to OEM though, you could get a set when they come up for between £400-££600 ish

There was quite a bit of chat on the thread which the OP requested was cleaned up a bit hence just the ad remaining.

Constructive chit chat

 

[Wondermike]

Yes I agree it was very constructive

monkadill, I will post the original comments below so you can see for yourself.

Says your library is private on my ipad

Guess mileage is about 45k then as Insp II was just done and the next service would be an oil service, not an inspection.

Just changed the album to public

Photos are private.

How many miles has the car covered? I'm guessing it's interlagos blue from your signature?

Might be worth adding some key information into the advert and cleaning it up a bit (more likely to get a buyer).

Add in exact service history, what (service), where (dealer / garage) and when (mileage and date) each service was carried out.

Probably also mentioning what year the car is, 2006, 2007, 2008?

You're selling at a good time, but a better advert would help your case

Sorry you're right pvr

Service history as follows:

RUNNING IN CHECK - 983 BMW - 04/05/06
OIL SERVICE - 12730 - BMW - 05/09/07
INSPECTION 1 - 25409 - BMW - 27/07/08
OIL SERVICE - 36551 - BMW - 01/04/10
INSPECTION 2 - 48640 - BMW SPECIALIST - 20/07/12
OIL SERVICE - 61048 - BMW SPECIALIST - 14/11/13

Next inspection due is 1 in 14,000 miles

Ok, thanks Steven

Jeez, i better brush up on my sales skills or i'll be back on operations in no time!!!

Ok, so this bit is wrong then:

Inspection II just completed

... and add the dates of the services

done! appreciate the guidance chaps!

Any questions, let me know - i will negotiate a little if selling to someone from this forum.

For clarity, the car is a 2006 and has done 61,824

It says next inspection 14325 miles

Sorry to keep picking, but you will get the questions anyway ...

The car has done 61000 miles as per the description, but at 61048 in November 2013 the mileage was already higher. Does that mean that the car has not moved since November last year?

OIL SERVICE - 61048 - BMW SPECIALIST - 14/11/13

Hi pvr

The car has only covered around 700 miles since i bought it in November, our office is local and I car share with my girlfriend hence the lack of movement and also another reason why I am not getting the chance to drive it enough.

When i put 61k it was a estimate, actual mileage is above.

Hope this helps.

Trying to help you here as it is important to get all information on there, and correct. If anything does not quite add up, you reduce the chance of a sale.

You might want to consider asking a mod to drop this post, redo your ad with all the correct information you have added through the various posts and re-post the add "cleanly" without all our initial questions and comments that detract from your actual for sale thread.

Thanks for the advice pvr, hopefully whoever is interested will see the car for what it is, rather than my lack of detail originally! :roll:

Damn..when I thought the mileage was around 45K I got quite excited. However its still a great looking car, and not badly priced. The advert is somewhat messy tho buddy.
Good luck with your sale.

Thanks Stug. I know its a bit higgledy piggledy but the bones of it should be there now hopefully!

I'm not a fan of the wheels though.

 

[monkadill]

slightly off topic but, looking on pistonheads the prices seem to be going up across the board tbh..... great for all of us imo....
