Wanted BMW Z4 3.0Si SPORT

[Dino D]

I only found this forum when looking to buy a Z. Don't think there is anything suspicious in joining just to place an ad as many people use forums for info and sales but don't like to strangers on the Internet!

Car looks good but I hope he didn't pay extra because those wheels are 'ISO 9001' certified...

He looks to be trading it in next week, so he is clearly trying to sell it privately to get a better price than the pittance he will have been offered as a trade.

'We buy any car' offer 6k for that car.

WBAC are s--t they pay well below and then want to knock you down when they view.. Just put in your Z3 and see how much they offer. They reckon our X3 is only worth 2.5k and our Z4 at 6k
I would not let either of them go for that price.
I dont know why anyone would use WBAC as a comparison site
Apparently he is offering it to the Forum as he has a new car arriving Monday and has know where to keep it.

 

[Dino D]

Yes but WBAC helps dealers support their low px prices. On the other hand I know some people who've had a fair prices from them though and not all dealers low ball on px but that give you an idea why he's probably selling at a 'reduced' price rather than px to a dealer which is probably less than he is asking now.

On the other hand that £ premium they charge can be worth it to some to avoid the fun that can come from dealing with used car buyers!

It is probably groups like WBAC that are assisting in the low sale prices of cars. I would not let ours go for less than 9k even though i believe it is worth around 10k considering the rareability of ours, I know that would be unachievable. But if it does not sell then we will keep it, we are in the position that we only want to upgrade not that we have too and to be honest it is only Kim that really wants to upgrade as she wants a tin top convertible and likes the look of the E89. Whereas i believe we would loose more money once we bought one than we would over the next 3 years of keeping ours

Going to look at a z4 3.0i on z4 forum tomorrow. Posted at 6.11. Maldives blue. Comments welcome.

Thought you was after the 3.0si ? John

 

[john1534]

I was. Just cannot find one. Enlarged pics do show that a fair bit of touch up to wheels, peeling lacquer to bumpers etc etc will be required. Willing to pay 5250 at moment and figure that around 500 will get me a nice car. May all change tomorrow when I view but hope not. Colour fits the bill ok. Would willingly pay 7 to 8k for an SI but nothing around.

Can someone please advise whether Vanos issues affect the 3.0i z4 se 2005. Thanks
