If its bang for bucks & mileage doesn't worry you how about a 59 plate , grey / black trim , navspecced , sport seated manual 35i on 92k for a ask of just £10k :o on 296s too :) compare this with a similar year / mile / performance 911 or Boxster & they really are a performance car bargain imo

or a black 80k version similarly specced 35i on 80k for a sniffter more at £12750k ask

Silver E89 3.0i
Highly specced 6 cyl na car that longer term should prove a troublefree experience :?
Ok its on 92k but seller asking £10500 & doubt right now he will be overwhelmed with interest :wink: wheels don't do it for me but they're a easy switch ( + you get rid of the peasant spec Kinforest rubber :oops: )

Get closer to £9k & that's a nice example that will look & drive twice the money :driving: don't be put off with the mileage , ive owned a 128k 6 cyl E89 & it showed zero sign of the odometer reading anywhere at all :oops:

Totally different motors J but yeah i agree , put side by side with a E86 at same ££ & youd be hard pressed to take the one trick pony 86 :D
This years market has been harsh for sellers of all Zs & come the usual low season Oct , Nov , Dec then some great buys across the whole Z market could be out there

Your car prices are sooo cheap in the UK :o
Currently in Oz we have on the market :
a 2010 E89 23i with 60,000km for $39,000 (23,700 UK pounds)
a 2010 E89 30i with 78,000km for $42,000 (25,500 UK pounds)
a 2009 E89 35i with 48,000km for $43,000 (26,100 UK pounds)
We only have a small market, BMW Australia only sold 220 E89 35i models and our used car prices are line ball with a similarly aged and conditioned Boxster S. I paid a premium for my manual version as only 20 of them came into the country.

I hear you, mate - it's a bit grim here too. Although with our cheap import duties, good deals can be found occasionally (I think you guys are going to find out fairly soon when your Govt drops import duties as there's no local manufacturing base to protect anymore - then you'll be bidding against us in the Japanese auctions, pushing the prices up and screwing the status quo on cheap imports we've been enjoying for years :x :P ).

Here's a 2011 35iS Jap import (which means the satnav will be useless, unless someone's paid around $1000 to sort it)
84,000Km/52,200mi
$39,995NZD / 22,484GBP

I bought a 23 sdrive for £10k, 50k miles, grey with red leather, comfort pack and DAB a couple of months ago. Think it was a fair price

If we were to sell ours for £10k I would be disappointed but to be fair it would mean that we had only lost £2k a year during our ownership which is a lot less than the original owners.

I guess you are more in line with the European (Mainland) Market, the UK market is fairly small due to the cars being RHD and not many people want them in the nearby regions outside of the UK.
Most USED cars in mainland Europe are almost double the price compared to the UK, and this is due mainly to the high demand for used cars especially from Africa & Eastern Europe as ALL African and EE countries are LHD.
