Looking for a car

BIMMERPOST / Classifieds
Asking Price:
None

Item Interest
I need help finding a daily driver!

So tired of chasing cars sellers say are "awesome" but are actually "awful"!

Here are the basics I'm looking for:

2004 to 2008
Convertible
3.0
6 Speed MANUAL
Prefer SI
Must have Sport button
Clean Title (exceptions are Theft or Hail)

I'm not a professional mechanic but I can rebuild just about anything so a "fixer-upper" that isn't too far gone would be just fine.

Last, but not least, REALISTIC $ expectations for true condition of car.

Thank you

Not a big fan of the "shit box" because usually by the time you spend the money to replace all the parts (even providing your own labor) you could have had a descent car to start with.

"Pristine" is usually a garage queen that hasn't been driven enough to keep the seals and other parts from deteriorating anyway and the owner wants a fortune for it.

So my budget would probably be somewhere in the middle?

However, I am willing to look at any situation that would be a great deal and I'm ready to pull the trigger when I find the right car for me.

I would have to say no because I've had enough speeding tickets and with a car like that temptation would get the best of me

Your description actually fits my Suzi.
I need to reduce my vehicles since I have to many toys but I'm not sure if the Z4 will go since I have her perfect now.

If I don't sell Suzi, I need to supercharge her....

Yes sir, it appears we do have the same kind of car in mind and yours looks great!
The only problem is you already replaced everything and I wouldn't have anything to do but drive it
Looking at your thread I can tell you put a lot of love into it and letting it go may be hard for you.
People get really emotionally attached to their Z4s.
What $ would you need to let her go to a good home?
