FOR SALE Z4 E86 3.0Si, Manual, Silver Grey

That particular Coupe above at £13,990 is rich even for a trader, be interesting how long that is around for

[Mr Tidy]

That is greedy pricing. I bet they didn't give 50% of that for it.

But it makes this one look a real bargain!

[Gee]

I felt the same when they put the sticker price on the Alpina B3 that I sold them, but it had a deposit on it within 24 hours (and has since sold)!

Apparently they offered £11,000 for it according to the previous owner…

Somehow I find that hard to believe - they could have just bought this one!

I know nothing, but my gut tells me that dealer's asking prices and seller's claims of trade-in price are not good evidence of value.

Yes I think thats a tall tale. When I read their asking price for that E86 I contacted them for a price to buy my car albeit it’s a E85 but decent spec and a good bit lower mileage than their coupe. As expected their offer was laughable

Hi, just signed up as looking for an E86 and doing some research. This car looks interesting, and is not far as I'm in Dorking. Looked at sending a PM, but can't see the option so assume it's because I've just joined.

I think you need three posts before you can message. How are you today? How's Dorking? What has drawn you to the E86 (other than good taste)?

[stevep2000]

Thanks!

Excited to get looking at cars - the E86 seems a good fit for what I'm after, had been considering Boxsters but increasingly put of by the potential big bills.
Read some varied opinions on headroom - I'm 6'2", but from what I've read seems to be dependent on body / leg length, and legroom sometimes more of a limitation?

You'd be welcome to come to Guildford and sit in mine if you want a better idea (caveat - it is currently sat, immoveable, on a steep drive so not an ideal time to sit in it!)

FWIW I am about 5'11 and there is plenty of room. I have a friend who wanted one back in the day but thought they were too small... and has sat in mine and didn't like it because it's too small. But he is 6'5", maybe even 6'6". I am confident you;d be fine, but I'd also strongly suggest you get in one ASAP to be sure.

On the one hand I can see the argument that an E86 is a poor man's Porsche... but on the other hand I regard Porsche as their own unique thing, and I think that the E86 is a well-priced and great option if you want something between sports car and GT.

Not far from Dorking either so welcome to the region

You just made a small mistake as you are looking for an E85, not the E86 of course (especially if you looked at a Boxster the coupe makes no sense)

Coming back to height - the Boxster was very uncomfortable as you cannot move the seat due to that box right behind the seat, so the 911 would be the obvious choice for taller people (which is what I have). The E85 works for me as well though so should be ok for you. Can't remember if the Coupe is actually smaller inside though but that roof will always be a pain in the neck

Not to derail the thread but I'm 6'5 and it's a snug fit but not uncomfortable.
If you want to sit in one like others have offered I'm by Farnham if you are ever this way, welcome to sit in mine!

Happen to be interested in a p ex with my amazing twin turbo flying machine running on an lpg conversion?!?- Just in case…my Porsche cayenne TURBO running on an expensive BRC LPG system? Low (109ooo) miles and a long 12mth mot. Immaculate black with heated black front and rear leather.
