My 3.0 Z3 for sale.... NOW SOLD

What a shame!

Wrong time to sell in the current financial climate and wrong time of year.

Can I suggest you put LOOK LOW VED !!!! very prominently in the advert title?

I think most people think a 3.0 will cost a lot to tax and the later ones do, costing pretty much the same as the S54M.

Good luck!!!

That is a cheap fast car! and the only non-M Z3 to consider IMO! I think it's just because the market is dead at the moment, so unless it's a giveaway (even more than that) price it won't sell I'm afraid.

OK the miles are a bit on the high side, but that 3.0l is virtually indestructible. What an absolute steal for a 2001 3.0l Z.

Keep it until spring would be my advise, I bet you'd shift it no probs then.

Fixer · Post by **Fixer** » Wed 15 Oct, 2008 22:35

I’m not convinced, I’ve been trying to sell my 2.8 with 56k since spring and it wouldn’t even go at £5000

SpunkyM · Post by **SpunkyM** » Wed 15 Oct, 2008 22:44

Yours is 3 years older though and the 3.0l cars generally fetch a bit more. Can't deny the slow market at the mo though

Fixer · Post by **Fixer** » Wed 15 Oct, 2008 23:17

Your right mine is older and I wasn’t trying to compare the two, I was trying to say mine wouldn’t even sell in the spring.

I know!

Tax is due at the end of this month, so I guess I may as well stump up for 6 months in the hope it sells early next year.

I was thinking about just holding onto it for keeps, but with our 1st baby due next spring

I can't really see it being particularly practical any more

I know that I am practically giving it away ... but I just don't get a chance to use it. It just sits there under the car cover....

You are giving that car away for nothing now mate.

I would advise you keep it until Easter and try and sell it then for at least the same money. I don't think it is gonna go anywhere in November or December I am sorry to say.

For comparison, I paid £4500 for my 97 2.8 with hardtop, but only 38k proven miles, 3 weeks ago, privately.
Not sure if this was good or bad as prices of all big engined cars seem to be falling fast.

Fixer · Post by **Fixer** » Fri 28 Nov, 2008 13:04

With a hard top I think you got a good deal, I have a 98 2.8 F/BMW/SH with 56k on the clock and I would hope to get the same money for it without a hard top.
PS I paid £11000 for it 3 year ago.

Unfortunately prices have been plummeting - for all cars. You need to put it on at under £5,000 if you want to sell it.

For comparison you can get an e46 330CI with below average mileage for £6,000, and a 328CI for £4.5...

An E60 530i can be had for less than 10k. Hope that puts things into perspective.

Sadly this car just isn't being used at the moment, and won't get any use at all after baby arrives in March.

MOT just carried out so valid until Jan 2010.

OMG - if that doesn't sell at that price, I don't know what will!

Half tempted myself! C'mon somebody must be in the market for a 2001 reg 3.0l Z for under £5K.

crikey, what a price, c'mon someone snap this up

ps Anyone want a high mileage 2.8 for a bargain price, i'll get this myself

X958 · Post by **X958** » Wed 21 Jan, 2009 08:55

Yes, the car is still for sale. There has been a trickle of interest lately after I dropped the price (again

).

Well, the car is sold!

Not sure if I should be

or

I think overall I am

because it was bought by a lovely chap from Ayrshire (hello Jim if you read this!) who seems to love the car almost as much as his daughter does!

Thanks to everyone for their help & advice over the years. It is strange not having a Z3 in the house after 2 years of a 1.9 and then 6 years with the 3.0.

Anyway, as the Z3 departs, we prepare for a very important arrival - our first baby is due in about 6 weeks

Congrats! Its a lovely car, and its nice to see its going to a good home.

I really wish I was buying a Zed at the moment and not selling - there are some great cars out there going for nothing!

What a low price ... in Poland or Germany, for this price you can only buy a nice 1.9

LHD of course...

whiteminks · Post by **whiteminks** » Tue 10 Feb, 2009 10:51

I am sure your buyer will love that car!
All the very best with the new arrival and hopefully see you in some years time as part of the 'Classic BMW ZRoadster Club'!

Hi Chris, could not register on web site untill today, very pleased with car which you have kept in excellent condition in every respect, since getting it I have found not one thing that needs done, fixed repaired or whatever, I nearly purchased an old MGB which I have owned 4 off in past along with TVR etc but the driving experience in the Z3 is brilliant! Thank you Chris and best wishes for new arrival.

So glad you like the car! It was sad to see it drive off for the last time, but it is great to know it is with someone who will take good care of it & enjoy driving it

I have now taken ownership of this beautiful car. Jim was an absolute pleasure to deal with and the car was better than he described, far better. I had given up hope of finding a good one after seeing crap after crap. I will now never sell this car. I hope me and jim can get the z3 and the z4 together sometime when the weather is better.

As posted my treasured Z3 has went over to Hairycheeks, a true petrolhead and Z3 nut! I could not have wished to find better owner for the car, I have Z4 but will still be on this forum also. Many thanks to all for now. Hope you have as much fun in car as I did and looking forward to a run over that beautiful part of country where you are in Z3 and Z4. Roll on the summer! JBD
