"There are couple of mechanical issues, this includes ABS light is on, seat belt warning randomly goes on and the car pulls to the right."
Seems like a good bit of profit in that for someone to sort the issues and sell it on. I would be extremely dubious that a business that specialises in Z4 sports cars aren't wanting to fix this themselves and sell it for a higher price...

I’ve already enquired. Zach’s a nice guy but I don’t think restoring Z4’s to this level is his bag.

I keep offering £3k on the one Binca have for sale. They aren’t bitting though. https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-detail ... 1143249724

These are parts or track cars really IMO

He won’t have the money in it.
He just buys straight from BCA then sticks them up for sale with £500 margin

They do this so you have no come back. Cars sold as spares repairs don’t come with any warranty and consumer rights.

Fair enough. I saw that car for sale privately for donkeys years so just assumed it was traded in. Perhaps was but not to Binca. I’ll stop insulting them then.

I would imagine that the cost to get the car put right would not be worth it to sell on as retail. I think it would be one of those cars that would be good to for a person who can do the work themselves and not need to pay the labour. Also looks like it needs some cosmetic love.
In some senses the car probably makes more sense to brake for parts sadly

Likely was traded in to WBAC then goes to BCA

sheesh £3600 for a coupe!?! why has no one bought this yet?

i thought i was going to see a major crash repaired, no MOT wreck. but no, bodywork looks fine, MOT til october. and the last 3 MOTs passed with only minimal advisories.

that'd make a great track car. my z4 had 155,000 miles on it when i bought it, and did a dozen trackdays with no major problems.

i wish i was one of those youtubers who had a fleet of a dozen cars... i'd have bought this yesterday, but the missus would probably object to me buying another sportscar even if this one is only 3 and a half grand.

Would have had that in a heartbeat if it had come up for that price when I was looking!
