Z4MC for under 20k

Sneaky Peaky · 27 Jan 2010 at 22:35

Been following these for a while on PH as still thinking hard about one of these in a few months. Now dipping under the 20k mark and seems like a nice one too

A lot of car for the money - wonder if/ how much / how fast they'll keep dropping :cool:

Gaygle · 27 Jan 2010 at 22:38

Now THAT'S a car.

Can't say i like that steering wheel much though!

Rotty · 27 Jan 2010 at 23:17

There was a 167 mile one posted on here a while ago for £26k, was very tempted

MikeHiow · 27 Jan 2010 at 23:22

Wrong time for the SO to fall pregnant

I used to dream of owning one of these, I had no idea they had become so cheap, this would have been within reach by the time the year is up, too

Slackworth · 27 Jan 2010 at 23:24

Holy moly that's cheap. Shame it won't do 40-50MPG or that would be extremely tempting!

Thomas. PLease. · 27 Jan 2010 at 23:28

Phwoar lovely car. Would absolutely love one of these some day. If you get one though, get some CSL wheels. Proper job then.

Same colour scheme as mine, albeit I have a roadster and not a coupe.

It is a keen price for a coupe with a good spec. Just a couple of things to watch out for with that one. Judging by the service mileage intervals it won't be far off an Inspection 2 I suspect. Also will need an MOT in March as well as the warranty renewal. Totting all that lot up (£600ish for an insp 2?, £50 MOT, £850 warranty) means you'll be facing £1,500 worth of bills in the next six months assuming nothing goes wrong.

I'm also slightly concerned by the fact it has already had 3 owners in its short life, but I guess there can be reaosns for that.

Inspection 2 should be nearer to £400 than £600 and MOT shouldn't be any more than £25. Warranty for a year is going to be under £600.

are you sure? this is the M version not the regular, so insp 2 is about £600 if it anything like an E46 M3, ditto warranty. The M's have higher warranty cost.

and a £25 MOT is also pretty optimistic! you must know a cheap place.

The Mad Rapper · 28 Jan 2010 at 16:51

Out of curiosity, how much would one of these have cost new? I'm just struggling to see the bargain at the moment because I have nothing to compare the current sale price against.

Booner! · 28 Jan 2010 at 17:12

I think they retailed for £46,000+

Fr0dders · 28 Jan 2010 at 18:37

Don't. I'm a 2 minute drive from that dealer, and I want

Do it before people realise the recession is over and luxury goods start increasing in price as demand rises

Dr House · 28 Jan 2010 at 19:11

I would spend a little more and get a newer car with less miles one it

Roadster are normally cheaper than the coupe.

That's what I'm talking about, that looks sweet and in the best colour.

Not having the option to put the roof down = more expensive :confused:

Better handing because they are more rigid. The coupe is also rarer than the roadster.

Coupes are only available in 3.0 ltr and M spec and production of the coupe didn't start till 2006.

The M roadster didn't start until 06 either.

Coupés were slightly cheaper than roadsters when they initially went on sale (I think), but as has been said, they have held their value better due to rarity and their reputation for handling as well as speed.

I'm tempted on a near-daily basis to upgrade my 3 litre to a MR or MC. Justifying it against the impending move out is very difficult, though!
