I've just read your advert wording.

Take off the bit about the £100 non refundable deposit, it'll put people off.

Look at it from the buyers point of view.

They make you an offer via eBay, then it'll cost them £100 to come and view your car.

So they'll be thinking, I've lost £100 if it's not as described.

Your car looks lovely so I'm sure it'll sell it's self.

Always happy, apart from when I'm not 🤬

I'm near Derby on 01773 294796 or 07775071409. £6,495. Sensible offers considered.
There is one at a garage near here pretty much the same with 41,000 miles at £7,595.

Do not fret dear Zedders I do not intend to be Zedless,just that a change may be sensible for the reason given.

Why do you want to let it go Ken? It'll last forever and is a lovely car.

Don't really want to sell it,but we plan to change our daily driver and get an automatic.That being the case I'm not happy swapping from auto to manual and back all the time.I'm old and easily confused !!! So I would then be looking for a Z3 automatic.
I will only sell it anyway if I get a good offer. I love it. My wife says she comes second after the car,but I have to remind her that Jasper the cat comes second.:happy:

That's a shame you're selling Ken,such a great zed with such low miles and a very good price. Someone is going to get a bargain.
Why are such cars not available when I'm looking to buy :rolleyes:.
Good luck with the sale and I hope you find a replacement auto very soon.......@t-tony's perhaps ?

The car looks very well and the low mileage makes it an attractive purchase for some lucky person!:)

Changed the Ad as you suggested Tfp, it was a little confusing. Nobody needed to leave a deposit on paypal,but in the past I have had experience of losing a serious buyer because someone else put down a deposit saying they would buy then changed their mind.
I would much prefer someone to come and see the car and negotiate personally.

Don't worry Stacey. A Zedless future is too terrible to contemplate.
Thanks for all the kind comments about the car folks.Much appreciated.
Ken.

It is a hassle selling cars, hence I gave it up a few years back. I now only buy for other dealers.

I found over the years that the buyers usually call, ask you a few questions, then say they're coming to see it.

Ken, we also have an auto as our daily driver but our Zed is manual. I can honestly say I've never had a problem swapping from one to the other - and I'm 'old and easily confused' as well. Why don't you wait to see how you get on when you get your daily auto...then keep the Zed.;)
