I need to flog a car...and it will probably be the Z4

Post by Pondrew » Mon Jun 19, 2023 10:58 pm

Having bought my latest (and greatest) "chavv-mobile", we now have four cars in the household. This is, for many reasons, too many. :o

I have asked SWIMBO which one of her cars she wants to sell and at present it is looking like the Z4 needs to go. Both of us have a really soft spot for the little E89, something I have not really had for a car in a very long time.

Downside is that we will be selling a very well sorted, very low mileage, immaculate condition and extremely good E89. Upside is you lot will be rid of me! :lol:

If anyone is in the market for one of the best N20 LCI Msport E89s around, let me know, as this may just make the decision for me. Otherwise a low mileage, petrol Mazda3 SportNav may need to go instead.
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

F31 320i. Good car.
E89 20i Now fully dried
Z3 'free litre'. Project and a half. Complicated!
Mazda3 sold
Tatty old R56 Mini Cooper. Money pit!

    The Forum would not be half as entertaining without your regular contributions. We never know what to expect! :D

      Now, Sterling grey Z4 2.2 with cup holders, stubby aerial and sport seats. Roadsters ‘cause they’re great with the roof down.
      Ford Anglia, Red Sprite, a few MG midgets, MGB Roadster and yellow Ford Capri, all gone many years now.
