I'll guys, had a test drive in the Z4 Coupe today.
Does anyone recognise it? Maybe a forum members old car? It drove well, very strong engine and gearbox but a fair few scuffs on the bodywork and interior, especially the steering wheel stereo controls and interior door handles had taken a pounding from wedding rings etc. The front valance had seen a curb, mostly underneath but still scraped nonetheless and a chunk out of one of the wheels. Dealer said he'd detail it to get the bodywork scuffs out and repair the wheel. Thought i could hear a slight whine on test drive, it wasn't the gearbox possibly fuel pump or an engine ancillary hopefully not the differential.
Any thoughts guys? :thumbsup:
You should bear in mind its a 10yrs+ car with a good few miles covered (97k ) with a few different owners :? these aren't 1 owner , demo cars from a main dealer so buyers do have to be prepared to put some time , effort & cash into getting a car how they want
My advice would be to look & drive at least 3 / 4 similar examples to get a good grasp of what is or isn't "normal wear + tear " :wink:

OP, I'd echo what Mr Wilks said.

By the way I'm pretty sure it is Montego Blue (not Le Mans blue). And it does look like it has a few options in addition to Cruise - rear parking sensors, heated seats, multi-function steering wheel and Xenons!

Seeing as it is a trader selling it the price doesn't look excessive IMHO, so long as you are happy with it's condition and history.

And it is a great colour, obviously. :lol:

This could be worth a look and a few questions to the seller: http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/ ... obcid=soc3

Attractive price.

Certainly is - if the condition is good and history stacks up that looks like a bargain!

It seems rather cheap, but I'd want some questions asked about how well it has been maintained judging by its MOT history.

Spoke to this dealer about this car less than 2 weeks ago.I was very interested.
I was inquiring about transport companies as i live in N. Ireland and told him this.
As i was unable to view i asked him to send me a few more detailed photographs which he said he would do.
Never got the photos.
One hour later he text to say his colleague had taken a deposit on the car.
No worries i thought as first with the money gets the car.
He had it priced at £8995.
Today it is back up for sale at £9995.

Right makes sense, I misread that the dealer was in NI. Obviously feels he can get more money then. Bit cheeky.

Just saw this one on AutoTrader - assuming it checks out that looks like a good deal for someone! :thumbsup:

If I was looking I'd definitely go and see it!

I think it was mentioned a few pages back.
Silver would be the only negative for me.

I've been watching this one for a few weeks. Price has been dropping. A real bargain now!

I saw this one too. It does seem very cheap for a low mileage, reasonable spec example. No mention of service history, maybe this is the 'catch'??
