Still searching for a Z3.
Further to earlier posts for information I pretty much know what i'm after but have been limited by rain, my wife being rushed into hospital for a few days and a shortage of places to look.
I look at Pistonheads every day, plus Ebay and Autotrader and most of the other sites just seem to take from the above.
So, are there any other sites worth a visit?
Anywhere else to look?
Hi Warrior
You can always try the admag as not all garages advertise on the sites you have mentioned. I have seen Zeds for sale and when i have looked they are only on the dealers websites and in local papers.
Good hunting and hope you find what you are looking for.

http://www.parkers.co.uk have a for sale section.
I found my Z listed on ebay, autotrader, his own website and parkers.
It was listed £500 cheaper on Parkers, because he was in the process of upping the prices but hadn't quite made it to parkers. He honoured the parkers price though which was great!

Thanks, i'll try Parkers...........
What am I looking for?
Budget wise I started looking at Zeds when I spotted a really high mileage one in good nick for less than £3500k and thought I could get mobile for that sort of money. Didn't know anything about the styles, widebody (a must) etc., until joining here. In the same way that I can never buy a basic camera, basic mobile phone or basic telephone, the list of preferred requirements has grown and my budget sits at £5k plus with an absolute top ceiling of £6k, taxed, tested, hpi'd and a resident dolly bird in the passenger seat
Preferred spec:.......
2.0 or 2.2L facelift model V, W, X Reg (Shying away from 1.9 as other posts suggest a bit of grunt and rumble starts at 2.0L)
M style seats, no baggy leather
Roll bars
Lowish miles, under 60k
Full Service history
Colourway:
Something that looks a bit snappy, Dark Green metallic with walnut dash and beige interior is a no no.
As an aside.............do prices rise significantly at this time of year and crash at the end of the 'season'?

I have always been of the opinion that you need to travel to find a good car, luckily I found my zed locally but I was prepared to travel over to Bristol to look at one and the people who bought my old car came up from Portsmouth.
This local to me ( I think I have seen it driving around town ) and they dont come much 'snappier' than yellow if you were interested im sure we could provisionally check it out for you
