Cheeky letter from my dealer
Cheeky letter from my dealer
I got a letter from the new sales boy at my BMW dealer offering me a £2000 scrappage discount off a new car before the end of Feb. I have to say I am not impressed and actually found it rather offensive. Has anybody else had one of these from their dealer?
I can only think that the guy is a numpty and simple ran off a report of all cars on their books over 10 years old without looking at the values of these cars. I'd still be looking for £4.5k to 5k for mine at the very least.
I've a good mine to send him a copy of Glass's guide by return...

Re: the offer
I'm not offering anything - my zed is quite definitely staying with me - get off!tonnc wrote:What are you offering for £4.5 to £5k?
Was simply guessing at possible value for a 1.9 with 50k miles on it to show how far off the mark the new sales boy is.
I should send him a message to go an look at the calendar in his sales manager's office and tell me how many of the cars on that he would be offering scrappage for...

Flip! nearly 8k! How much were they trying to get for the 2.8??
It must be immaculate but I would still think they are trying their luck buy a couple of thousand.

I used to have a '97 2.8 Z3 50k FOR SALE £4699 Shorter 'M' Cup Sport gear knob,M Steering wheel, Alpine / Infinity audio, 18" Alpina style wheels, Clear indicators all round, cold air feed and modified airbox. Miss April in the '09 Calendar.
Ok I've uploaded the rest of the pictures.
There was nothing special about the cars at all. All bog standard, standard wheels, one had cream leather interior and the others looked liked they needed a good clean inside. The exterior had been polished but again, no better than what the owners on this site would prepare/detail their car.
Sorry it was a bit late to post the full pictures and prices but it just goes to show that I think we are being a bit conservative in our valuation of our cars.
I paid £5,500 for my 2.8 Auto last June and it now has only 46K on the clock. Perfect body so compared with the ones above, I value mine a bit above what I paid.
