Is it me or are 2.8 low milage Zeds not around for sale?
Hi guys...been an age since I've been on here but it seems your getting on fine without me
I seem to have too much time on my hands at the moment...always curious what the market is doing with the 2.8 flavour (Which i have the pleasure of owning)
Now....I have been to the normal selling sites and cannot see any 2.8s available for sale.....Maybe (Like myself) the owners just luv em too much to part with?
Seem to be around 7000 left around so life in the old dog yet
Any thoughts or interest guys?
Thanks

2.8's are a dime a dozen here... The 3.0 are very scarce and the M Coupe even scarcer... The M roadster doesn't exist at all since they were never imported to SA...
Re: Is it me or are 2.8 low milage Zeds not around for sale?
Plenty of 2.8's.
Not many 3.0's are there less of those?

2.8 s yes,it's the other bit - low mileage - that there are few of. I regularly look at the sites,but see few like mine.It's a 1999 36,000 miles with full BMW service history.
BUT, if you're trying to ascertain value it's the old story - 'it's what someone is willing to pay' !

low mileage is good if you want it... however don't confuse it with not used... that can lead to a whole heap of trouble. mine have done 150,000 and 90,000 but have been well serviced - that makes them very reliable

Speaking of looking under the dust sheet.....
Same for me Tim.....garaged thru the winter mths but still only a button press away from being out the door and on the road
17 years old (Young) bless her....42k on the clock and not a day’s trouble in the 6 great years I've had her Being of the fortunate variety she's a 'weekend'
car but still enjoy every mile none the less.

Yes understood, neglect thru underuse or lack of preventative maintenance has no room in my book.....keep on keeping those miles under the belt and every one of thembertiejaffa wrote:low mileage is good if you want it... however don't confuse it with not used... that can lead to a whole heap of trouble. mine have done 150,000 and 90,000 but have been well serviced - that makes them very reliable

You hit the 'Nail on the head' there.....I'm proud to be the owner of such a wonderful motor...I'm very fortunate to have a low mileage and superb condition Zed, I bought her on the basis thatOntiken wrote:2.8 s yes,it's the other bit - low mileage - that there are few of.

she was in the...can I say it....higher end of the range.
You might have touched on something with the mention of value...you are dead right with ‘it’s what someone is willing to pay' ! Still doesn’t stop us looking out of curiosity to see what prices
are kicking about.....I have thought about selling up for the 2010> z4 but every time I know I would regret it if I did.
