it's a funny feeling

as you know I had to sell my Z3, I miss it already, browsing through AutoTrader I just found it on the trade site

so it has gone from Glasgow down to Peterborough, with the obvious price increase from a dealer


but to my surprise not as much as I was expecting

You must have given it away if it's retailing for that.

 

[stevie_a]

Was up for sale for 3 month with little interest and had to sell,
Sold for £1400

Ouch! Car dealers

 

[Shelly]

Car dealers make so much profit, it’s unfair, but I suppose they have to make a living , and a good living it must be for them to add that much money to your Z .......

 

[stevie_a]

to be fair I had to sell it to Dick Turpin (WeBuy)

and by the looks of it this dealer has done a good bit of work, a lot of bodywork has been done to it two sills both front wing bottom sections have all been resprayed,

because I knew with imperfections where and they're not there anymore

so that price is not bad, and it sounds as if he likes it

"PREVIOUS OWNER SINCE 2011, SOME SERVICE STAMPS, A SMOOTH DRIVE TO THIS VEHICLE, VERY CLEAN CAR INSIDE AND OUT, "

 

[DaveB with a Z3]

Dealers in any trade have to add a big markup to keep trading. Rent , wages, pension , NI etc etc and then the cost of bringing the car up to scratch and adding a short warranty.
The Z does look good though and a good buy for someone to enjoy

 

[stevie_a]

The only thing I would do to that car would be to put new poly trailing arm bushes on

 

[stevie_a]

On reflection i think i did the right thing,
The Z3 is still for sale in the garage , now with reduced price to £2790
As it was such a good car i was thinking it should sell quick but no.

If i still had it it would still be up for sale and my daughter would still not have her wee car that she loves

[stevie_a]

[Grumps]

[stevie_a]
