Why Why Why

Here in Australia, the Z4s with over 100,000km on the clock have very low resale values. Seems that people seem to think you only get 100,000km out of them, which is not, of course, true. But maybe with most cars, after 100,000km, you start having increasingly more problems.

P.S. I wouldn't worry about rubber bits disintegrating too much. You can always replace them, and it's only a matter of time until they have to be replaced anyway.

Disagree When you are able to put together a small meet that was originally just for fun and only for the BMW E30 that just after 3 meets (once a year) looks like this, there are lots of enthusiasts around.

I cant say its that hard. Just have to make the best of it
For 95 RON (the most common octane here) its currently approx. $8.8/gal. Been down on $7.6/gal just 2-3 weeks ago.
But yes, its kind of ironic that Norway that is so big in the oil business have such high prices. Especially where I live that is in Stavanger, "The oil capital of Norway"

Forums always surprise me, if someone tries to sell their car for less than others think it is worth then they are giving it away and hurting resale values. If someone tries to get more than others think it is worth then they are trying to rip others off. I always thought I was free to try to sell what I owned for whatever I wanted and if someone didn't want to buy it they could move on.

I hope EAG gets exactly what they are asking (and it is asking price). Also, if a buyer wants a 13k mile car, there aren't a lot of options. The other link is similar price for similar mileage.

EAG is across town from me and I almost bought a car from them, didn't like the interior but I was willing to pay a little more to avoid going to Boston, which I did, if they had a car I wanted. When I see a neighborhood house where the seller is asking more than I think it is worth it also doesn't upset me.

I love it too. My 2006 18k MR must be worth a pretty penny based upon that price....
