Al_H Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 Went with my mate today to Christopher Neil in chesiure to look at a BMW Z4 2.5. Dealer offered him 11,500 for his A3. Its an 04 reg, 2.0 FSI standard model with 32k. Cherry red and only extra is cilmate control. Is this price fair? he thought he'd get more than that.

runflat Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 Parkers reckons about £12,500 for a trade in so your dealer can be pushed a bit. If you can sell privately you may get £13,000-£13,500 IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al_H Posted October 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 thanks very much runflat. Yes i think he may try selling privatly for about 13k. Do you think he will have much luck? after all its a standard model cream interior only extra is climate control and concert cd player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runflat Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 Like any car, just depends on finding someone who wants that spec. Having said that, when I recently sold mine via Ebay, a couple of people phoned up saying they wanted a standard model not Sport, so there are definitely people out there looking for that spec. If you are selling privately I can recommend Ebay. I had tons of calls and enquiries on mine. Autotrader just seems to generate loads of trade calls selling advertising (and ebay is a fraction of the cost) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al_H Posted October 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 Thanks very much, i'll mention ebay to him. The Z4 he's looking at is a 2.5i any knowledge on them? Also have a look at thisZ4 Its the black 54 reg at the top of the page. Had panel damage but look at the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runflat Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 That seems a good price. I must admit a complete lack of interest in BMW. I cannot explain it, it is a purely pathologic apathy for the whole blue propeller thing. No offence to any BMW owners, I am sure many people are not excited by Audi's range. So anyway, back to the point, I know nothing about Z4's sorry. Good luck with your friend's motor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simonl Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 That Beemer is sweet man, i'd have it over the 2.0 A3 any day. Go back with a figure that the dealer can think about. If your mate advertises his A3 for £13k, he's more than likely gonna get about £12k MAX. Look at the 'cost to change'. If the Beemer is £19k and you get 11k for the A3 then in the worst case scenario your looking at a 'cost to change' of 8k. So focus on that figure, look at what you want the difference to be and tell the dealer, then let him decide how he can get close to that, whether by discounting the Z4 or on the trade in.

Al_H Posted October 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 the Z4 is actually 20,950 so 50 quid off 21k. Its alot for him to justify to the wife espicially seems that he's got a Caterham 7 1.8 which he spends shed loads on anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdb2 Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 A dealer near me had a Cherry Red std A3 with beige interior for ages, couldn't appear to shift it. I've seen a few online on audi.co.uk under the used section too. The model (i.e standard trim), exterior colour (essentially burgundy) and interior colour go against it - unless perhaps you are a pensioner and like that sort of colour combo. I think the fact they know it will not shift easily is reflected in the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al_H Posted November 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 at the time he had just bought the caterham wanted a fairly nice hatchback for the commute and this 04 reg was for sale at chester audi 4,000 miles on the clock just £15,500.
