Maxyboy Posted November 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 Cheers alistair, it really does look the part and is well spec'd. If she doesnt move i will run her in loo of the company car for a while but would prefer not to as i'm scared company business will spoil such a good car. I've had one nibble already. So hopefully................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxyboy Posted December 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 If this doesnt shift by around march time, i'm tempted to trade in for an exige, z4 coupe 3.0si or a z4m coupe. The reason because there is no point in having two four door saloons sitting in my drive. I may as well have a weekend toy for similar money than i'm paying at the minute. To be honest i have driven none of these cars as yet but plan to over the festive period. Does anyne think i'm crazy for considering this in the current climate. Does anyone have real experience of these cars. Also the running costs of these models is pretty unknown to me but i suspect the z4m coupe could be pretty high. I dont mind reasonable expense but i'm not wanting to invest daft money in something that is second best option ie a sporty car only because i cant shift the 330d.

Mook Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 Of the choice of 3, I would go for the Exige - without doubt. I've taken one out round Cadwell Park and it's just in a different league. Plus they don't shed their value like the Z4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soapsuds Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 I dont think you are crazy to go out and buy a new car now, no. But i will tell you this - you will have a BIG issue trying to find an underwrite for that car. It took me months to get a reasonable p/x deal on my 320d M-Sport. 4 weeks after changing, it is still sat on their forecourt. BMW are in big trouble (see separate thread) and will liklely refuse p/x. Therefore my best advice would be to try and keep out of the BMW dealer network - source the Exige/Z4 from a specialist dealer and you may have some luck. Go for a p/x against a Z4 at a BMW dealer and be prepared to either faint, or be refused a trade-in. I had offers c £12.5k - £13k on a regular basis. That was an 07 320d M-Sport Touring, fully loaded with a £31k list price by the time the extras were fitted. It's not nice out there at present, but best of luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edo Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 Get an advert on Pistonheads, detailing the options in the part exchange part - you may get someone who needs something more sensible - it's worked for me 3 or 4 times now.

tom_hargreaves Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 I would recommend the Z4 M because it's a brilliant car, but I wouldn't recommend it because of colossal depreciation. Haven't drove an Exige, but i'd imagine it to be a beast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxyboy Posted December 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 Would a 2nd hand z4m have a great deal more to loose if i pick it up for around the 22k mark? I've learnt my lesson with new cars and really dont think i'll ever be back there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxyboy Posted December 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 Sod it! £20,500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxyboy Posted January 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Car may be going onto a BMW garage forecourt with a major mark up. Going in tomorrow to discuss a deal. So hopefully it will still be available for private sale if anyone is interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
putz Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 20.5k? If its still for sale in March then you'd have a buyer here I reckon, I'm working overseas until then sadly but I have money burning a hole in my pocket! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davyk31 Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 I sold my 3.0D X3 just after Christmas and this may be an option for you. I went along to an independent dealer who sells generally nice stuff and he agreed to put it on his website and his forecourt. Car was still mine so he had no financial risk and we simply agreed an asking price and then what would be returned to me. Worked really well as I got loads more than if someone had been underwriting the car and buying it off me for resale purposes and worked well for the trader as he made a profit with no risk and a big engined jeep is something he would not have wanted to stock. Might be an option for you if you can do a similar deal with a local garage or even your BMW dealer. That way they know they are not loosing money if it sits a while and its a lot more likely to be seen in a car sales place than sitting in your drive.

Thats exactly the kind of deal i am going to be doing with the local BMW garage. They seem keen because they know that all my cars have been cherished and it requires no work to put onto the forecourt. I never made it in today but hopefully tomorrow. As you say, no risk for them, a win win situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
