New car prices

Post by Fender2004 »

Does anyone know the price of a new Z3 2.8 in 1997?
or does anyone know of a website where I can find this out?

Cheers

IIRC, the opening price for the basic models was the same as the engine size, ie:
1.9 was approx £19,000
2.8 was approx £28,000

I'm sure someone will come up with something more accurate soon!

There was a list posted a few weeks back for 1998 cars. Mine is a 98 2.8 and was listed at £28800 if memory serves me correctly. :)

......and to think last year I picked my '98 2.8 up for £2400 (mountain bike money!), and if you get a good one (which touch wood, I did) you are still getting a lot for your money and even more pleasure/fun because you've not shelled out just under a wacking £30k!! :D

I've got 2 price lists - March 1999 and July 1999

The earlier one has on the road prices as follows
1.9 -£21510
2.8 - £28150
M Roadster - £40600
M Coupe - £40600

By July 1999 they had changed to

1.8 - £19995
2.0 - £22995
2.8 - £28350
M Roadster and Coupe unchanged.

Obviously the engine line up had changed.
Sapphire black/Imola red and black interior/ red roof/ S54 - the only RHD one made.

In 1998 the £28K was for the 2.8 base model, when you start adding on the options it can be a lot more. Mine was £32K with the extras

Just found the invoice for my zed from March 1999...

From that, I make the OTR price £21,541. The Z-Star alloys and electric hood were slightly more than I thought! And it doesn't say J. Bond for the sales person either - it gives his full first name. :(

Think mine was around 22K in 2001, I've got a 2001 pricelist with brochure somewhere. On mine the owner was obviously a bit tight and didn't pay extra for air con or an electric hood :) Still less to go wrong now.
