The Hack made a good point. There is a point where waiting could easily cost you because you're chasing that lower price. At the end of the day, if this is a car you plan on holding for a while then there should be no issue meeting a sellers best price. As it stands now, this is the bottom of the market and if this car follows the schedule the Z3 M Coupe followed then we're 1-2 years before we start seeing their values climb.
In short - I see no risk or downside in grabbing the best car you can afford now if you know the car will only be worth more than what you paid for it in the future. |

Either way, I have enjoyed talking with fellow enthusiasts about their cars and am appreciative to everyone who has reached out. Still haven't found a car that checks all the boxes, even far far away. But I have faith that she is out there, and I will be ready and waiting . Last edited by The Hunter; 06-15-2016 at 08:06 PM.. |

My searched showed that condition and documentation matter _much more than exact miles. Well documented cars with 60 - 95k miles are fine. Then I can give it OCD level care from there forward and take care of any minor needs when I buy it.
Ended up with a one of two made, Interlagos/ extended Sepang, with carbon weave dash/ navi, 70k, a bit of scuff on the fangs, meticulously serviced and documented, vanos checked, Blackstone oil reports, fresh Conti's, and so on for $23k, plus the cost of getting it back from Atlanta to SF Bay area, about $24,5 all told. The car had been for sale for ~1/2 a year. Rubber bushings age just by sitting still, leather dries, and fluids all need replacing and flushing based on time regardless of miles. We put miles on our cars just by driving them. I look at the extra premium price for extra low miles as not worth it compared to finding excellent condition that can cost much more $$$ to recover a car from that's been abused and neglected.

If you want to live dangerously, here's a salvage title car, $65k miles.
http://sacramento.craigslist.org/cto/5620746514.html Claims salvage title was due to "minor front end damage".

Apparently the insurance company has a different definition of "minor damage".
I think that seller is at least $6k too high for a car with a salvage title.

I've been lurking on the board, but I'm still looking. I'm now leaning toward interlagos or maybe a silver/space gray with red interior. If you have a low mileage coupe you've taken care of and are thinking of selling let me know! I promise to give it a good home . |

Good luck dude. My preference was strictly based on color combo and it still took me a year lol.
I always wanted a coupe, but ended up in a roadster and I can say that a part of me still wants a coupe, but a Roady has brought around some great memories. Finding a coupe in my color combo wouldve just taken another year and my impatience got the best of me. : Still love it though.

Yeah definitely. I mean I still look around for a coupe with my desired color combo/low miles. (Which by the way, I still havent come across)
But selling these cars are hard as is, so I'd end up with two Z's in my garage for a while. And although they dont depreciate too much, I've just had terrible luck with selling cars and it would just end up selling for lower than what it should. (Based on how all of my previous cars have sold : )(I baby them too) But I guess selling/buying is out of the question for some people. Even if its not, its still a big hassle. I'm sure something will come up though, your wants arent extreme, but lower mileage migggghhhtt be a little tougher to find.

@Ammar, yes, selling these cars is hard, even in excellent condition. Same for the Z3's. My A+ 2001 later body Z3 3.0, with hardtop, M Roadster interior transplant retaining the burled walnut dash style, all speakers replaced with current HK-Infinity, subwoofer refoamed, mechanically redone and upgraded everywhere, Vanos rebuilt with Beisan seals, race battery, and so on, is taking months to sell.

Obviously you are a smart man judging by the way you chose to write the advertisement.
See my ad that by happenstance is written very similarly: http://www.zpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1301036 Quote:

Hey, Ive always looked at this forum as a guest but specifically for you, opened an account just to reach out to you as I think I have the right car for you. Ive got an 07 Z4M Coupe Interlagos Blue on Black Leather, Aluminum trim, only thing that I noticed is that it has Navigation and I dont know how much of a turnoff that is for you. Its got right at 30,9xx miles and is clean as a whistle. No issues, clean carfax, 2 owners, prior TX car, Brand NEW Michelin PSS in the rear installed 09/02/16 and 3 month old Pss's in the front. It is the RIGHT car for you and Im open to completing a PPI on your dime if your interested.. We can talk price privately if your interested. My phone is 404-993-1618, Shoot me a text or call anytime. Located in Atlanta, Ga.
